It has the same desert-chase cast as the yellow-orange board: Yosemite Sam with his pistol, Wile E. Coyote standing by with his napkin, knife and fork, Road Runner running through the middle, a flattened Wile E. upside-down, another Wile E. peeking in from the edge, and a Road Runner head with its tongue out down at the lower left. But this board has one more. Down at the lower right there's a third Road Runner, a grinning head that the yellow-orange board doesn't have. Three Road Runners, three Coyotes and two Sams, and the Coyote still doesn't catch him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis amber version is a hard one to find. The scoring loops are marked 100 and 200, and the pockets across the bottom read 400, 200, 500, 200, 400.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🐦 Beep Beep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoad Runner and Wile E. Coyote first met in Chuck Jones's \"Fast and Furry-ous,\" released in September 1949. Jones opened it with freeze-frames that gave each of them a mock-Latin name, and the joke stuck for the rest of the series. Yosemite Sam is a Friz Freleng creation, first seen in \"Hare Trigger\" in May 1945 as a train robber up against Bugs Bunny. The sister board in this same design carries a © 1995 Warner Bros. line on its playfield, and the card here is © 1997, right after Space Jam had put the Looney Tunes on movie screens in November 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🎯 Play-By-Play of San Antonio\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back of the card reads © 1997 Warner Bros., MADE IN CHINA, and DISTRIBUTED BY Play-By-Play Toys \u0026amp; Novelties of San Antonio, Texas. Play-By-Play grew from Arturo Torres's vending-machine prize business into a public company by 1995, and in 1996 it paid $44 million for Ace Novelty of Bellevue, Washington, the Warner Bros. licensee for Looney Tunes and Space Jam. It moved its headquarters to Valencia, Spain in 2002. One tip for collectors: the barcode is the same on every color of these pinballs, so the playfield is the only way to know which one you're getting, and that lower-right Road Runner is what marks this amber board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relatedBlock\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔎 More From The Vintage \u0026amp; Antique Gifts Archive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/vintage-1997-looney-tunes-pinball-game-roadrunner-wile-e-coyote-yosemite-sam\"\u003eVintage 1997 Looney Tunes Mini Pinball Yellow Orange Playfield Wile E Coyote and Two Road Runners Sealed 🍎\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/vintage-1997-looney-tunes-pinball-game-roadrunner-bugs-bunny-porky-pig-daffy\"\u003eVintage 1997 Looney Tunes Mini Pinball Pink Playfield Reclining Bugs Bunny Road Runner and Marvin 📌\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/vintage-1997-looney-tunes-pinball-game-bugs-bunny-porky-pig-daffy-duck\"\u003eVintage 1997 Looney Tunes Mini Pinball Orange Playfield Bugs Bunny Taz and Sylvester Sealed 🍎\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage and Antique Gifts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44362543857896,"sku":"VAG-8164164894952","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/2718\/4037\/files\/il_fullxfull.4771732747_4te8.jpg?v=1785359771","url":"https:\/\/vintageantiquesgifts.com\/products\/vintage-1997-looney-tunes-mini-pinball-amber-playfield-wile-e-coyote-road-runner","provider":"Vintage and Antique Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
