Pin*Bot

Is a pinball machine released by Williams in October 1986, designed by Python Anghelo and Barry Oursler. The game features a space exploration theme where players advance through the solar system by hitting designated targets, starting from Pluto and aiming to reach the Sun.​

Key Features:

• Grid of Lights and Visor Mechanism: At the center of the playfield is a 5×5 grid of lights. Completing this grid opens Pin*Bot’s visor, revealing two eye sockets where balls can be locked to initiate a two-ball multiball mode.

• Solar Value Ramp: The left ramp, known as the Solar Ramp, allows players to increase and collect the Solar Value jackpot during multiball play. ​

• Spiral Ramp Skill Shot: A spiral ramp serves as the skill shot from the plunger, challenging players to skillfully launch the ball for maximum points. ​Wikipedia

• Mini Playfield: The game includes a bagatelle-style mini-playfield that adds variety and unpredictability to the ball’s movement. ​Wikipedia+1Pinside+1
