Last night watched a bit of The Pelican Brief, and halfway through the movie Julia Roberts meets up with a woman in a bar to exchange info. There is a guy playing a pinball machine in there with a large silver ball on the side of the machine (rest is black), and there was an arcade game in there that looked like a multicade.

Just thought I'd put another research project out there for those who like identifying these games in movies..
 
Okay, first the pinballs:

the one he is playing is:

The next one (yellow) appears to be a Cactus Jack:

And since they all appear to be Gottlieb/Premier, then I'd assume there was a product contract of games out about that time, and the last one is probably:

As for the arcade game (and i thought I saw glimpses of others in the wide shot, but couldn't get enough of a look to be sure), I'll have to look later when I have time, but I'll post the pic here. Notice that it is lit above AND below, similar to Gorf, Tron, etc....
