Bally STAR TREK

Rev.2    For this batch of Star Trek playfields, we switched to another of the several “versions” originally produced.  This one features B-A-L-L-Y inserts in yellow (other runs were done in white).  We have also kept the custom CPR Nacelle Inserts modification (two exclusive inserts, positioned right behind the artwork). These can be optionally used for adding special lighting effects, or completely ignored.  Your choice.  See photo gallery for a picture of these exclusive inserts.

The CPR Custom Nacelle Mod is available for separate purchase from XPin:  https://xpinpinball.net/product/xp-cpr-star-trek-mod/

This small run will be available until they are gone, if the demand is there we are able to make more but it may take some time before we get back around to them so….  Consider these “get them while they’re avail able !”

DON’T FORGET THE DISCOUNTS! OPTIONAL PLAYFIELD ADD-ONS:   For any playfield shipment, you may add any backglass, plastics set, and/or topper into the same Cart, and receive Bundle Discounts on those items!  They don’t even have to match the selected playfield(s) any more!  Take advantage of combined shipping, and save big compared to buying and shipping separately later on.  Discounts apply automatically in your Cart.

Pinball / Star Trek (Bally)

Edit locked.

Star Trek (Bally) is a solid state pinball designed by Gary Gayton and produced by Bally in 1979. This was one of Bally's most successful tables, with nearly 17,000 machines manufactured.

It was initially released with artwork based on the original Star Trek television series. However, soon after production began, the decision was made to tie the game to Star Trek: The Motion Picture , which was being released later in the year. This was done by updating the backglass art to show the Enterprise crew in one-color spacesuits, to be a closer match to their Motion Picture uniforms. Furthermore, an unnamed woman appearing on two playfield plastics was redrawn as Ilia instead.

Although the pinball itself plays well, purist Trek fans will bemoan the slapdash use of the license, as only the artwork ties the game to the series. The Enterprise is shown firing a gigantic energy beam from its front saucer, one lane is labeled "to Hyperspace", and the only Spelling Bonus on the entire table is for B-A-L-L-Y. Spock is the only regular character depicted on the playfield, accompanied by a smiling, generic blonde woman in a red jumpsuit (and Ilia in the redecorated version). Even so, it's a popular piece of seventies Trek memorabilia for devoted collectors.

This Star Trek pinball demonstrates the following tropes:

• Adaptational Attractiveness : Done to all of the original Trek characters. Most prominent for the male crewmembers, who now sport bulging biceps, broad shoulders, and sculpted pecs.
• Adaptation Dye-Job : Spock wears a green full-body jumpsuit on the playfield.
• Dolled-Up Installment : The updated artwork tying the game to The Motion Picture can be seen as this.
• Heroic Build : Kirk, Spock, and McCoy get this as part of their Adaptational Attractiveness . Especially prominent on the playfield version of Spock.
• Hourglass Hottie : The woman standing next to Spock on the playfield has a waist only slightly wider than her head.
• Leg Focus : In the original art, the left triangle bumper had a picture of a female crewmember sitting down with her bare legs prominently shown. Subsequently redrawn as Ilia with matching stockings.
• Space Station : The playfield has "Space Station Ko", with the three bumpers representing connected pods.
• B-A-L-L-Y collects all lit bonuses. What, S-P-O-C-K wasn't available?
• The Mirror Universe version uses T-E-R-R-A instead, making better use of the license.
• Stealth Pun : A small passage loop, hidden behind one of the bumpers, is labeled "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
• Wave-Motion Gun : The Enterprise on the playfield is firing one from its front sensor dish.
