Fireball

.
This machine, manufactured in 1972 by Bally and designed by Dave Christensen, is considered to be one of the greatest and most attractive pinball machines ever made.

The backglass is dominated by a "Human Torch"-like figure, hurling fireballs.

The "fireball" motif is continued on the playfield, and echoed on the sides of the machine.


Fireball is a 4-player electromechanical machine with a variety of exciting play features, including trapped balls, the potential for multi-ball play (with up to 3 balls in play at one time), a large spinner in the middle of the playfield - which adds randomness to the action, zipper-flippers that close when special targets are hit, and much more.
