Lights...Camera...Action!

Uses two 20-digit, alpha-numeric (with commas), blue Futaba displays. Brian R. Johnson shared with us his participation in making this game:Many moons ago I spent a summer as a freelance illustrator for Gottlieb. My big project was doing pencils and inking for "Lights Camera Action". I also painted the top layer of the backglass as well as the animated gun fighting characters. Constantino Mitchell was the art director and painted the San Francisco skyline, but I did the rest. Oh, and he drew the playfield "Hot babe" characters because the big wigs didn't feel my women were sexy enough. So now you have this MAD Magazine-ish looking art with a few Nagel-esque looking women thrown in.

The 4 green TOWN targets light lock. Lock via right hole/spinner. Shoot the 2nd ball into the top hole for 3 ball MB, otherwise 2 ball MB.
Most targets and banks are lit for points to flail at during MB. The right loop stays lit for 1M which is the biggest point value.
Gunfight (upper saucer) plays a backbox game where you need to out-draw a bad guy for Mystery (can be huge!). It gets harder over time.
