description: *Pool Rabbit* survives chiefly through a single photograph of its backglass — a [[theme:cartoon-characters]] design built around a rabbit modelled on Roger Rabbit^[1] — carrying the [[corporate-entity:mm-computer-games]] badge that the [[location:italy/rm/rome]] maker [[manufacturer:manilamatic]] used for its [[technology-generation:solid-state]] pinball. Collectors who have studied that picture read the playfield as a mirror image of [[manufacturer:bally]]'s 1977 *[[model:eight-ball]]*, with a fluorescent scoreline reminiscent of later [[manufacturer:gottlieb]] boards.^[2] The firm issued its machines under the [[corporate-entity:mm-computer-games]] name across those same mid-1980s years.^[3]

a Roger Rabbit inspired pinball backglass

The game is called "Pool Rabbit" by "MM Computer Games." Other forum members chimed in saying it was made by an Italian company called ManilaMatic in 1985, and the playfield is possibly a flipped "Eight Ball" layout. The fluorescent display smacks a bit of later Gottlieb boards. IPDB has precious little information on the game, and no pictures.
