name the pin in "Nobody 2" trailer

I believe that Gottlieb made 2 machines that are extra wide body and they are approx. 3 inches wider than a Gottlieb GENIE widebody machine.
CIRCUS is one and STAR RACE is the other (both from 1980) making them probably the 2 largest machines that were commercially sited excluding the "novelty" machine that was SEGA's HERCULES which used a billiard ball and played like a dog.

I hadn't realised it was quite so wide. The stated production of 870 explains why I've never seen one, and the fact it's a further size wider than, say, Haunted House is probably why parts catalogues mention Gottlieb 'mid-size' for parts such as the security bars which used two of the leg bolt holes for attachment (the bar itself, with an eye-bolt at one end, fitted on one side and another eye-bolt on the other).

According to ipdb, the designer John Buras also wrote the software. That couldn't have been common, then or now.

Any wider, and the back box would have to be wider as well.

I played on one a few times circa late '80 early '81 along with Circus in my local arcade and they both played like they were EM machines.
They were enjoyable with reasonably long ball times for the era.
