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!
