Twilight Zone Pinball Machine by Bally

About the game

The Twilight Zone was released by Bally in 1993 and designed by Pat Lawlor, the designer of The Addams Family. It is based on Rod Serling's television series and is one of the widebody games in Bally and Williams' SuperPin series. It is consistently ranked among the best pinball machines ever made, and it is one of the most searched classic titles today.

The playfield is packed with toys that became famous in their own right: a working gumball machine that stores balls, a playfield clock that counts through the game, the ceramic Powerball that the magnets cannot grab, a slot machine, the Camera and the Hitchhiker, and a mini-playfield with magnetic flippers where the player battles the Power. The goal is to light all the door panels and reach the wizard mode, Lost in the Zone.

Twilight Zone is a widebody pinball machine, designed by Pat Lawlor and based on the TV series of the same name. It was first released in 1993 by Midway (under the Bally label). This game is part of WMS’ SuperPin line of widebody games alongside Star Trek: The Next Generation and Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure.^[1]

Following the huge success of The Addams Family pinball game, Midway gave Lawlor full creative control over the design of his next game, and the result is an unusually complex machine. Among its special features are the following:

• A working gumball machine, which holds three balls and can dispense them or receive others during play.
• A working, 12-hour analog clock that can display the current time and function as a timer during certain rounds.
• The Powerball, a white ceramic ball which is lighter than the other steel balls in the machine and unaffected by magnets.
• The Powerfield, a triangular mini-playfield whose underside contains magnets that propel the ball.
