Now that would make for a sweet custom speech chip! Wonder if we could talk Ed Boon into it?!?

Damn licensing problems*grumble*......

It is. Having recently worked on and played one I agree with the great Tim Arnold that this pin is everything that Bally's Space Invaders pin should have been (and I like the Space Invaders pin!)

Alvin G. & Co. was a company started (albeit briefly ) in the 1990's by the (recently deceased) Alvin Gottlieb of the famed Gottlieb pinball family. If I remember correctly he went the Alivn G. moniker because he couldn't legally use his own Gottlieb name with regards to pinball. Some other...

Time to add my two cents....or two movies in this case. There were a bunch of pins one scene in Jackie Chan's "Rumble In the Bronx"-specifically the scene where he faces off with a gang leader in their clubhouse (one of them was Bally's Strikes and Spares) and you CAN'T forget "Spaceballs" which...

I agree. It looks like to me it has had a lot of work done (rectifier board work for example) and the bottom cabinet has been cleaned. But in this Ebay ad take notice of what they DON"T closely show pics of. No pictures of the rear side of the backglass or of the displays or even the game...

I was under the impression that Williams owned the term "Multi-Ball" having it on the Firepower backglass with the "tm" trademark. As to later use by Data East and others they most likely co-opted the term and Williams either got royalties or just simply looked the other way-which would be...

Your mystery table DEFINETLY isn't Orbitor 1; the unique plastic molded playfield would be a dead giveaway. I want to say that it might be Williams Pinbot (it has the planets of the solar system on the playfield) but that game is well known and your memory of it spinning the ball around(?)...

Sounds like a good plan; the original ROMS can become corrupt due to age (Williams S.S. chips are especially prone to this) be sure to inspect the chip sockets as well and replace any iffy ones you find. Personally I'd leave it as is-the different music isn't a deal killer-and only change stuff...

Yeah Williams' Varkon (the game Mark aka Lord Karnage reviewed) ROCKS!!! Damn shame they made only 94 (that's right) only 94 of them back in 1982-It was too much like a video game for the pin purists and too much like a pinball for the vid freaks; it didn't go over too well at the time and with...

Not exactly. There were certain types of pinball machines during the Great Depression and in the 1940's and I think the early 50's too that were called "payout pinball" games i.e. they paid out money if certain scores were achieved. These along with the bingo style pinballs introduced by Bally...
