About This Machine

Black Hole is a 1980 solid-state electronic pinball machine from Italian manufacturer Giuliano Lodola. It is a copy of Williams' 1980 'Blackout', though it appears two standup targets were used in place of the center bank of three drop targets, along with possibly other gameplay differences.

From a gameplay perspective, Black Hole presents an Outer Space / Space Fantasy theme, transporting players into a cosmic setting. Beyond its relationship to Blackout, few specific gameplay details have been documented.

Limited information is available on this machine, including its designer. Its rarity and relative obscurity make it an interesting find for collectors and historians seeking to understand how Italian manufacturers adapted popular American designs during the early 1980s.
