Secret Service

Secret Service, designed by Joe Kaminkow with artwork by Kevin O'Connor and Margaret Hudson, was manufactured by Data East Pinball beginning in March 1988. Built around a police/spy theme, it's a four-player solid-state machine featuring digitized stereo speech and music synchronized with light effects and alphanumeric displays — features that by 1988 had become well established across the industry rather than a first for the format.

Key gameplay features include three flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, two spinning targets, a Ball Eater target, and a 5-bank drop target. At center playfield sits a model of the U.S. Capitol building, with a White House model on the left featuring five drop targets underneath — toys that tie directly into the game's Washington, D.C. spy theme. A large flash-effect box atop the backbox adds to the machine's visual impact.

With 2,741 units produced, Secret Service is a distinctive entry in Data East's catalog, notable for its detailed government-building toys and immersive audiovisual presentation.
