About This Machine

The Bally Game Show, designed by Dan Langlois and Peter Perry, brings the comedy and spectacle of television game shows to the playfield. Released by Midway Manufacturing (under the Bally trade name) in January 1990 and built on the Williams System 11C platform, it was produced in a confirmed run of 2,500 units between January and April of that year.

The gameplay features two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two ramps, providing players with a variety of ways to interact with the playfield. The 2-ball multiball adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement, as players must manage multiple balls simultaneously. Jon Hey's music and sound effects round out the presentation, and a bell rings when the ball enters the hole behind the car sinkhole.

The machine's colorful art package by Tim Elliott captures the essence of classic game shows. Its blend of humor and gameplay variety makes it an entertaining addition to any pinball enthusiast's collection.
