About This Machine

Moon Flight, manufactured by Zaccaria in 1976, is a fine example of the innovative spirit found in electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machines during the mid-1970s. Riding the wave of Space Age fascination that had captivated pinball design for decades, its space exploration theme captured players' imaginations.

Key gameplay features of Moon Flight include two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two slingshots, which provide an engaging and dynamic playing experience. The machine also boasts nine standup targets and an end-of-ball bonus feature, adding layers of depth to the game. A unique aspect of Moon Flight is its use of a three-digit match number display at the backglass score, creating a sense of anticipation and strategy for players as they aim to reach the maximum displayed point score of 9,999,900.

The artwork on Moon Flight, credited to artist Lorenzo Rimondini, reflects the Space Age era's futuristic aesthetic. Zaccaria's use of simple yet effective design and artistry allowed for a clean and uncluttered playing experience, characteristic of EM pinballs from this era.
