Space Race - Memorial Park, Colorado Springs - June 19, 2010
This 'Pinball Game' is 28 feet tall. It has a manual ball loader and a button, and moving conveyor belt.
One of the operators takes $4 from you and then he places a plastic ball into the ball holder.
You press the button to release the ball onto the conveyor belt which goes to the top.
At the top the ball falls off the conveyor belt onto a transparent plastic release ramp and then into play.
Nudging the machine isn't possible as it has levellers holding it firmly in place even if you wanted to.
The ball hits the pins and either falls into one of about 12 holes, or it falls into the USA area at the bottom.
If the ball falls into one of the top half holes, you get to pick a prize from the left side of the machine.
If the ball falls into one of the bottom half holes, you pick a prize from the right side of the machine.
If the ball falls into the USA area at the bottom, they give you your choice of the prizes available.

The machine has 4 colored strobe lights - I didn't see them go off. It is also lined on both sides with standard 60watt light bulbs.
It also has a built in sound system with dual microphones and tecno music playing.

correction, 5 strobe lights. And I guess depending on who runs the machine the rules can change as to prize selection.

Build a fire, vipers love the heat.

Yes it is Joe! and for the small sum of $65,000 you too, can own one! wink.gif I checked some auction site that had it and that's what they sell them for.

No, Atari's Hercules was the largest regularly made pinball machine. The machine in the video was basically a prop made for that game show.
