ipdb.notes
IPDB This is the same game as Bally Wulff's 1987 'Hardbody' but with a different backglass that shows the women wearing more clothing. In fact, a Bally Wulff ad (shown here) is titled "Less sex in the game" (German: Weniger sex im spiel). The text translates to read, "After some operators complained about the shape of body-building world-champion Rachel McLish, BALLY WULFF has reacted quickly. Now you can buy HARDBODY with brave girls and the new name SUPER SPORT or you still choose the original game with the world-champion. The SUPER PRICE naturally also applies for the SUPER SPORT." The artist of this backglass is Mychael Gerstenberger from Berlin. He told us that the backglass design was printed at Bally Wulff's own screen printing department in Berlin, and then assembled into the original U.S. machines in Berlin. His original backglass artwork, which he completed in 1987 and is shown here, has the name of his art studio, MALBUCH, spelled with the Roman letter "V". The first game with flex-save lanes is Bally Midway's 1987 'Dungeons & Dragons'. used
