Demolition Classic

The Demolition Classic, manufactured around 1979 by Briarwood, a division of Brunswick Manufacturing Company, is a solid-state electronic home pinball machine (Model 55-860196-8), part of a line of non-commercial home models that reportedly shipped with the same generic owner's manual as Skate King, Super Star, Rodeo, Cosmic Pinball, and Circus.

In terms of gameplay, the Demolition Classic offers a single-player experience with two flippers, which players use to control the ball as it navigates the playfield. Two pop bumpers add an extra layer of challenge and reward, while two slingshots let players bank shots, and a standup target requires precise aim and timing to hit. Its auto-racing theme was a relatively uncommon choice for a home pinball machine of the era.

As a home model rather than a commercial arcade machine, the Demolition Classic offers enthusiasts a chance to discover a lesser-documented piece of late-1970s solid-state pinball history, making it an interesting find for collectors of home game machines.
