Space Ship

Space Ship, designed by Steve Kordek and manufactured by Williams in December 1961, is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine with an outer space theme, reflecting the growing popularity of science fiction and the space race in the culture of the era.

Gameplay features on this machine include two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, five stand-up targets, and two gobble holes. The maximum displayed point score is 8,990,000 points, with a replay wheel maximum of 47, and the machine's sole sound effect comes from two bells.

The design and art on this machine are typical of Williams' early-1960s efforts, featuring bold, colorful graphics and a spaceship-inspired cabinet, with artwork by George Molentin. Space Ship also holds a notable place in Williams history as the last game from the company to use bulb scoring in the backglass, with 800 confirmed units produced, making it an attractive collector's item for enthusiasts of early Kordek-designed machines.
