ipdb.notes
IPDB 'Star' is a conversion of an unidentified 4-player replay game. The playfield picture we saw was very small but suggested the source game was Gottlieb's 1964 'Ship-Mates'. The placement of the backbox replay window supports this. Reportedly, this game has a few features expected of J. Martina games: 1) The backglass is a piece of paper sandwiched between two clear sheets of glass, each 2mm thick. 2) The underside of the playfield has been painted similar to the one for J. Martina's 1968 'Viking'. 3) The area underneath the playfield apron was modified for automatic ball serve, similar to the one on J. Martina's 'The Jungle'. Collector Max Lucas in France spoke to artist Jean Amiot, who did a lot of art for J. Martina. Amiot stated he did not do the backglass art for Star. used
