an NOS playfield!
Time to ROCK and ROLL with... KISS!
This game was produced in 1979 by Bally, who hands-down made the best and most
well-known digital pinball machines of the late 70's and early 80's. Games like Eight Ball,
Playboy, Harlem Globetrotters and Kiss ruled the arcades! Bally
was known for creating great playing pinball machines with the best and most
popular themes. Out of the 70's came one of the hottest rock bands with
amazing showmanship and stage presence... KISS! What a FANTASTIC theme to
use for a pinball machine! This game was so well liked that they made
17,000 of them, which is an unusually high production number matched by few
other games. The popularity of the band along with the terrific gameplay
and fabulous artwork made this game easily seen in every arcade, bowling alley,
tavern and corner store in the late 70's and early 80's. Everyone loves
this machine and it's easily one of the most collectable games of the
70's. Kiss is so popular that Stern pinball made a brand new Kiss themed
game within the last year! This true
classic Bally machine brings your youth back to life with the fun and excitement
of a full size vintage arcade game. Pinball machines are
presently enjoying a renaissance period with young and old alike experiencing
new-found joy in these games of the past. This game has genuine
Bally style play with a classic playfield layout that's a true blast to play!
You'll love the vintage early digital sounds which play some of the Kiss music
while you go for big points and pinball status! Try to maintain ball control as you try for
HIGH SCORES, EXTRA BALLS and SPECIALS! This fantastic playfield is loaded
with all of the classic Bally features such as rollover lanes, spot-targets,
drop-targets, pop-bumpers, slingshots and spinning targets. Try to
complete the K-I-S-S grid in the center of the playfield by hitting the
corresponding targets and rollovers around the playfield. You can also
spot lines in the grid by knocking down the bank of drop-targets. Complete
the lines in the grid to get a SUPER BONUS and also a COLOSSAL BONUS, then
combine your bonus points for a whopping 120,000 possible points! Light
the bonus doubler and you'll wind up with an astounding 240,000 points and be on
your way to becoming a PINBALL LEGEND! Adults and children alike go crazy for this game and you will NEVER tire of
it! Many enthusiasts will
agree that this game is one of the very best games that Bally has ever produced.
The popular
and family-friendly theme goes great in any home gameroom!
WOW! What can I say about the condition of this game other than
AMAZING! Your typical Kiss game was played and beaten to death in the
arcade and has a wrecked playfield, flaking backglass, faded and destroyed
cabinet and the electronics are shot. This is not your typical beaten-up
Kiss machine. It has had a beautiful high-end restoration done which
started with a fully repainted and restenciled cabinet. New playfield
glass was installed and the legs were refinished and all cabinet metal has been
polished. A near pristine original backglass was sourced and installed in
the game. Brand new MPU and lamp driver boards were installed along with
new L.E.D. score displays and a full L.E.D. lighting package behind the
backglass. The real star of the show is the original NOS Bally playfield
that was sourced for the game. Reproductions are out there, but originals
are impossible to find. The NOS field was freshly clearcoated with a
high-gloss finish. Loads of new playfield parts were installed such as
plastics, pop-bumpers, posts, lane guides, drop-targets and more. A full
playfield L.E.D. lighting package was also installed. As the pictures
show, this is one amazing restoration. Plays lightning fast just like it did in
1979!
