About This Machine

Fly High is a 1985 solid-state conversion kit from Germany's Geiger-Automatenbau GmbH, built on the cabinet of Bally's 1979 "Supersonic." Its theme is based on the 1984 West German fantasy film "Die Unendliche Geschichte" (The NeverEnding Story).

Artwork was produced by Michele "Mike" Martinelli, who created the art for all of Geiger's conversion kits, and 150 units were made -- a figure Geiger later corrected from an earlier reported run of just six.

Beyond these production details, specific gameplay features of Fly High are not well documented, which is typical for Geiger's small-run conversion kits that repurposed existing Bally hardware with new artwork and licensed themes. Its movie tie-in and well-documented production run make it a notable if under-the-radar entry among European conversion kits of the mid-1980s.
