About This Machine

The Goldeneye pinball machine, released by Sega Pinball in March 1996, is a licensed tie-in to the James Bond film of the same name, designed by Ward Pemberton. It was one of the higher-production Sega titles, with approximately 2,200 units made.

Gameplay features two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two slingshots, along with 14 standup targets rewarding players for accuracy. A distinctive thrust magnet positioned above the flipper gap flings the ball upfield, adding a unique shot to the game's layout. Physical toys include a tank, a helicopter, and a satellite radar dish, tying the mechanical features to the film's espionage theme. Actor Fred Young provided voice characterizations for the game.

Goldeneye's design and artwork evoke the film's high-tech spy aesthetic. As one of Sega Pinball's licensed titles during its short run in the pinball industry (1994-1999), it remains a notable example of a 1990s movie-licensed pinball machine.
