About This Machine

Temptation, manufactured by Sega Enterprises of Tokyo in 1976, is a single-player, solid-state electronic pinball machine with a lighthearted dancing and happiness theme -- a notable departure from the more traditional subjects common in pinball at the time.

This emphasis on a carefree mood is reflected in the machine's artwork and design, featuring vibrant colors and dance-themed motifs. Gameplay includes two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, four drop targets, two standup targets, two kick-out holes, and a horseshoe lane, giving players a well-rounded mix of shots.

Temptation also features Sega's 'Your Number Match' feature, awarding bonus points for matching numbers on certain targets, and its drop-down cabinet adds visual interest. While detailed designer credits aren't documented, Temptation remains an interesting example of Sega's solid-state pinball output during its relatively brief run in the industry (1971-1979).
