New Wave

The New Wave pinball machine, manufactured by Bell Games of Bologna, Italy in April 1985, is a solid-state conversion kit game that shares its playfield layout with Bally Midway's 1984 'Black Pyramid' (minus the kick-out hole), and runs on a Bally MPU AS-2518-35.

Notable gameplay features include two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, three-in-line drop targets, four standup targets, two star rollovers, a swinging target, and a right outlane detour gate. These components combine for an engaging, targets-and-drops-focused layout typical of mid-1980s conversion kits.

Due to limited documentation, further details about the machine's theme, art, or specific design elements beyond its hardware are not available. Its Italian origins and conversion-kit nature make the New Wave an interesting example of the international, budget-conscious side of the mid-1980s solid-state pinball market.
