Memory Lane – Great bowling-themed game designed by the late Sam Stern

Flash – An early Steve Ritchie game that was the first pinball machine to ever use flash bulbs as well as ambient background music. The sound in this game was analog-driven synths based not on samples but oscillation formulas stored in the ROMs.

Super Orbit – A highly-sought after early solid state game from Gottlieb that is a favorite in pro-level pinball competition.

Classic-Era Solid State games:

Funhouse – An epic pinball game featuring an animatronic head in the playfield that taunts players.

Mars God of War – Gottlieb’s sleeper pinball game that many people have not had a chance to play and appreciate – in many ways superior to staples like Black Hole and Haunted House.  We have  a rare prototype game

Who?Dunnit – One of Bally/WMS’s last pinball machines made, and a masterpiece of design and aesthetics and originality.  The game incorporates a “who dunnit”-theme reminiscent of the game “Clue” set inside a casino, with a working analog slot machine embedded in the playfield!

Whitewater – A player-favorite, with an extremely fun layout featuring crazy ramps that go up and down and all around.  Our game has been blinged out with LEDs and plays super-fast.

STTNG – Another Steve Ritchie classic that is as unforgiving as the coldness of outer space.  Two cannons, crazy steep ramps, a never-before-reproduced under-playfield subway system and six-ball-multiball make this a classic.  Our game is modded with a high end subwoofer that makes the whole room shake.

Theater of Magic – A classic from designer John Popadiuk.  This machine is gorgeous inside and out and showcases the “flow” that JPop is famous for.  Also with upgraded audio.

Party Zone – A rare machine not often found, featuring a cast of Bally/WMS characters from other pinball titles and a hilarious animatronic head that follows the ball around the playfield.  Great 80s-era day-glo paint job and a fast pace.  This game also features popular music such as “Purple Haze” and “Pinball Wizard.”

Bram Stoker’s Dracula – Widely regarded as the most challenging pinball machine ever made, BSD is the game the aficionados flock to and try to beat but are often left frustrated, but when you have a good game on this deceptively-simple layout, you know it right away and it’s intense.

Judge Dredd – Based on the original comic book series, this is another sleeper game, a widebody with amazing flow and lots of humor.

Road Show – A very popular widebody game featuring not one, but two “Funhouse-style” animatronic heads on the playfield and a well-programmed shaker motor with a very deep ruleset, lots of humor and great music.

Attack From Mars – More rare than Medieval madness, one of the most-sought-after pinball machines of all time and Bally’s most-famous unique theme.

South Park – A classic from Data East

The Simpson’s Pinball Party – Unarguably the best pinball machine ever made by Stern, possibly of all manufacturers, with a ruleset that’s deeper, more diverse and more challenging than any other pinball game, TSPP is a classic, featuring multiple wizard modes, tons of playfield features and very balanced scoring.

Lethal Weapon 3 – A classic homage to 1980s culture and movies. Fun and fast-paced with great music.

Jack Bot – The third in the “pinbot series” and the most critically-acclaimed game, designed by Barry Oursler and Python Anghelo; very fun and challenging game that is often used for competition.
