Science
Fiction TV Classic... STAR TREK!
1979 Bally
Space, the final frontier... STAR TREK!
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
Star Trek, Eight Ball, Silverball Mania and Harlem Globetrotters ruled the arcades! Bally
was known for creating great playing pinball machines with the best and most
popular themes. The 70's were the prime years for reruns of the 60's
STAR TREK television show, followed by the first feature film in 1979. Bally
went on to capitalize on this by making a pinball game with licensed artwork
taken directly from the television series. This game is incredibly
popular not only because of the theme, but also because it's one heck of a great game!
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 digital beep-boop sound effects as you try to build
your bonus ladder to the top. Launch the ball towards the upper rollover
lanes or saucer hole to try and complete the B-A-L-L-Y letters to advance the
lit values. Watch as the ball gets bashed around in the pop-bumper
triangle formation! Blast away at the drop-targets to increase the bonus
multiplier to 3X and then go for the SPECIAL! Fire the ball up the HYPER
SPACE loop and go for the EXTRA BALL! Shoot for the WARP SPEED lane to
score all of the bonus points without draining your ball! The whole playfield
is loaded with all of the of the classic pinball elements like drop-targets, stationary targets, roll-overs, slingshots, pop-bumpers,
a saucer hole and more! Everyone goes crazy for this game and you will NEVER tire of
it! Many pinball enthusiasts will
agree that this game is one of the most collectable games of the 70's.
The popular
and family-friendly theme goes great in any home gameroom!
Star Trek games were very popular when they were new, so it's become extremely
difficult
to find nice examples of the game. Most have terribly worn playfields
and backglasses that suffer from severe paint loss. This game is a true
survivor with a very nice playfield that has a few touch-ups. The pop-bumper caps are perfect new-old-stock pieces and the drop-targets
are brand new. This game has a genuine ORIGINAL silk-screen painted
backglass that is in excellent condition, not a plastic translight picture like the more
modern games have and not a reproduction glass. The cabinet is also in
excellent condition with
a few minor blemishes and some touch-ups. The legs have been refinished
and new levelers were installed. See below for the full list of what has been done to this
game. Plays lightning fast just like it did in 1979!
