I snapped this photo of a Roger Rabbit inspired pinball machine at my friend's house 20 years ago and recently rediscovered it in a shoe box of old photos. He could not remember where it came from or whom he sold it to. I can find no info on such machine even on the internet pinball database.
It appears to be a one of a kind conversion made by....somebody? I wonder if it still exists somewhere.
Bonus points if you can name the classic video game next to it.

We have a furry pinball group who did a bit of digging, and we've got some stuff on the game. The game is made by an Italian manufacturer called ManilaMatic Computer. There's really not many details about it beyond that apart from it was released in the 80s. We were able to find a pic of its playfield and interestingly, it's a mirrored Eight Ball Deluxe playfield with some small modifications (we're guessing to accommodate for the shooter lane being on the right).
As far as we're aware, it was its own release and not a conversion. ManilaMatic's games were so rarely seen in America or elsewhere that a lot of people don't really know much about it. There's even a chance that MM plundered components from other manufacturers in order to make their games, but that's a hazy detail at best. An interesting example though!

Ah, who could forget that classic movie Pool Rabbit? Three hours of various cartoon characters playing pool with a wax dummy of Eddie Valiant. Hehe, bootlegs can be very funny sometimes. They change just enough to avoid a lawsuit. I see "MM Computer Games" below the display, but a search for that comes up with nothing as well. Whomever made this made sure their info was buried deep or non-existent.
