About This Machine

Destroyer is a solid-state electronic pinball machine credited to Bally Manufacturing Corporation. Bally's Numerical List of Machines shows Model 1277 with a release-to-production date of January 15, 1982, listed as a "4 player novelty." The model does not appear on game lists found in Bally parts catalogs, so it isn't confirmed the game was ever actually produced; its solid-state classification is presumed from the 1982 date, since Bally had stopped using its EM "-E" model designation by 1980.

As a solid-state game from this later period of Bally's history, Destroyer would have offered the faster playthroughs, more flexible scoring, and more complex rule sets typical of the company's electronic machines by the early 1980s. Beyond this, no further details survive about its rules, artwork, or theme.

With minimal documentation and no confirmed production run, Destroyer remains one of Bally's many undocumented novelty entries from the era, its existence known chiefly through internal company records rather than surviving machines.
