Twilight Zone. 1993 Bally with sound from the show as well as a ton of imagery. If it was a theme of an episode it’s likely represented here.
First time I heard it quote Talking Tina I like to have a heart attack. She’ll never not be terrifying.
Star Trek (Bally, TOS)
Star Trek, Bally, 1978.
Y’all there are so many Star Trek pinball machines.
In this one, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, and probably Chekov (in the background) are dressed in blue jumpsuits that, if they really were tight enough to show off every muscle group, would probably be cutting off everyone’s circulation.
Kirk has multiple rib lines / muffin tops across his right side.
Spock looks furious.
They are all running around on a yellow landscape with a yellow sky, so considering the year they could be in LA’s smog.
A planet and the ship both loom in the sky to the upper right, which I think indicates everything is about to be torn up by gravity… which does align with the pinball playing experience.
Mata Hari
Mata Hari, Bally, 1977. Your eye probably get s drawn to the woman in the jewel bikini handing a map to a man in a top hat and tails. Which, I mean, Mata Hari was a German spy in World War I, soooo….
Mine goes to the bend at the waist which is either anatomically accurate and I just don’t pay attention to half naked women’s waists, or has way more folds than a human should have.
And then there’s the sheer volume of snakes in the room. It’s concerning.
But the big thing is the expression on the tiger’s head. Y’all? I don’t think that tiger is dead. I think it’s stoned, and happy about it.
Future Spa
Future Spa, Bally, 1979.
It’s the spa, but in the future!
In the center, a woman and a man run toward the camera. They are wearing futuristic jumpsuits that cover them from head to toe except for windows cut in the torso. Like, on the woman’s sky blue outfit the first window stretches from just above the pubic hair to just below the breasts, and a second window reveals most of the breasts to the collar bone.
Her collar is popped and stands up to her earlobes.
Oddly, she has a belt around her middle despite half the outfit missing.
Did I mention you can see her nipples through the fabric?
Silver and gold matching boots and gloves cap off the ensemble.
The man behind her has a pornstache and 70s hair. His outfit only has one window which stretches from just above the belt buckle, over the pecs and all the way up, essentially meaning that if he doesn’t stand up straight the whole damn outfit could pop off his shoulders.
His pecs and six pack abs are visible to an unfortunate level. His collar is popped and he doesn’t appear to have a neck.
In the top left corner are two moons (or rocky planets). The top right displays curvy futuristic buildings with three more moons in the background.
In the bottom right corner, a creepy man in no shirt and a strange helmet grabs a hold of a glowing bar while he sits in front of a console.
In the bottom left corner a naked man sits in a tub staring at the naked woman standing next to him. She is holding on to the long fabric strap around another woman’s breasts – that woman is on a swing above.
This thing is creepy, at its best.
Flash Gordon
Flash Gordon, Bally, 1980.
If you’ve seen the show, you’ll recognize the myriad characters on the backglass. I think I saw it once or twice as a kid, so from my standpoint it’s a bunch of people on a mostly red background with some space ships.
