Mike Bossy The Scoring Machine

Mike Bossy The Scoring Machine is a rare Game Plan prototype dated January 1982 that was never put into production. Conceived by Gil Pollock and designed by Ed Cebula, it references NHL star Mike Bossy's nickname, "The Scoring Machine," though only a very limited number of units, if any beyond the prototype, were ever assembled.

The machine features three flippers, two pop bumpers, and a kick-out hole, and is notable for its dual backglass: an outer glass that is largely clear, showing two hockey players and the game's title, layered over an inner illustrated backglass. Artist Larry Day illustrated both backglasses and designed the game's logotype, creating a unique layered visual effect when assembled.

Because it never reached full production, little else is documented about the game's playfield design or intended features. Its status as an unreleased prototype, combined with its unusual hockey theme, makes Mike Bossy The Scoring Machine a curiosity for collectors and historians rather than a machine most enthusiasts could ever own.
