• The Star Trek Pinball Machine

Back in the laste 70's, Bally created a Star Trek pinball machine, which boasted terrific artwork. I remember just standing and gazing at it as I waited in the corner convenience store for the bus to arrive... I never played it, I didn't care for pinball, but the back panel painting made me salivate. Below are some close-up images of the various parts of the machine. Put in a quarter and score!

And the new, updated artwork, still on of the coolest images of the original crew ever painted. Dynamic and exciting! How I wish they would have sold posters of just that artwork...

Always love seeing that gorgeous pinball machine artwork. I think I havbe only ever seen the TMP version, and I was always impressed with how the artist got all the uniform details right. A lot of the licensed stuff in the 70s and 80s were pretty cavalier about the details but this guy took the time to get the details right and its a much nicer piece for his efforts. But somehow I never managed to see the original series version before today. Thanks for sharing! Also, I spent many fond and greedy hours in the late '80s and early '90s, pouring over catalogs from New Eye Studios, Starland, and Star Tech, ink pen or highlighter in hand. I used to eagerly await new catalogs in the mail in the ancient times before eBay and online retailers. I took advantage of the drop in interest in Star Trek that's happened over the last few years and picked up a lot of the stuff in those catalogs that I used to lust after - the '70s era Star Trek poster magazines, a set of the twelve photonovels, the hardcover first printing of the Star Trek Technical Manual, the original mimeographed Bjo Trimble Star Trek Concordance, all stuff that was way out of my price range as a kid, I was able to get for a song because the bottom fell out of the Star Trek collectibles market. Thank you, Rick Berman! :) As always, thanks for the great blog!

Jay, Thanks for commenting. You're right about the accuracy. He mamanged to make ST:TMP look exciting! :) Sounds like you caught up on the 70's goodies real good! I bought all the items you mentioned one at a time as they came out, and still have them. I hope that interest in Trek grows again due to the new movie. Maybe by the tim I'm ready to let go of some of it and sell it, the demand will be up again. But I don't see me wanting to sell it any time soon. It' too valuable to me for the memories!

Cool. The first of THREE Star Trek Pinball machines! This one, then Star Trek 25th Anniversary then finally Star Trek: The Next Generation - which is by far my favourite - and I'm not a trekkie (sorry!). Nick

These are so fun. I'm not a pinballer, but I'd play a Star Trek one. Will you post the other 3 Nick (above) refers to? Ah, maybe I'll just google around and find them. Thanks for your fun blog!

The pinball you mention is a 1979 machine from Bally. Then there was Star Trek 25th Anniversary 1991 from Data East. Finally was Star Trek the Next Generation from Williams Pinball in 1993 - easily the best of the 3 in my opinion!

WE ACTUALLY OWN ONE OF THIS ORGINAL CAST STAR TREK PINBALL MACHINES (1971). ANY INTEREST IN PURCHASING IT? EMAIL ME AT [email protected].

LOL I remember the STARLOG contest for the STTMP pinball machine. I actually entered art for it and what a horrible image it probably was. I forget who won it and I wonder where the machine itself is now? I could probably look it up. This is such a great site of STAR TREK memories. Keep up the great work.

It's June 2011, and I recently bought the Bally Star Trek pinball machine, my 1st. When I got it the condition was very good. Compared to other one's I've seen that have seen better days mine is in overall great condition. I saw your site during the month I was doing research into the machine and prices. I do believe your site had a big impact on the final purchase. The Star Trek Bally is to me, a piece of Trek history.

I recently just acquired a star trek pinball machine from my Uncle. I fixed most of the issues, but I'm still unable to get the playfield to light up. Lamp driver and voltages going to the lights seems good. I think it's a ground issue. Any advice on where I could start checking the board to get this working? The game is great and is so much fun to play! Please fire me an e-mail with suggestions, greatly appreciated! [email protected]

Star Trek Pinball (Stern Pinball)

Star Trek Pinball is a series of pinball machines designed and built by Stern Pinball in 2013. The machines' designs are based on the alternate reality established in Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness .

Designed by Steve Ritchie , the designer of the Next Generation pinball machine in the 1990s, the machine comes in three versions: Starfleet Pro, Vengeance Premium, and Enterprise Limited Editions. The three versions feature individually-designed cabinets and backglasses.

Karl Urban appeared in a promotional video for the Pro pinball machine which was shot in Vancouver, Canada. He also recorded a "Custom Speech Powerpack" audio update for the machine in the role of "Bones" . [1]

Star Trek Vault

Inspired by the Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness films, the newest Stern machine puts players in Captain James Kirk’s chair of the U.S.S. Enterprise, embarking on a journey to protect and defend the planets of the Federation.

Stern’s Star Trek pinball machine features all the bells and whistles a Star Trek fan would desire. With adrenalin-filled battles, high-definition artwork, cosmic LED lighting and classic musical scores, the Star Trek game will evoke the sensation of flying through space at Warp Speed to rescue Spock and defeat the U.S.S. Vengeance.  The newest game from Stern includes an animated battleship, three lightning fast ramps, three flippers, resettable memory drop targets and much more.

Star Trek is Stern’s first all-LED Pro Model. The playfield features seven multicolored LED paths that lead gamers on easy-to-understand color-coded routes. There are six missions for casual players matched by 18 complex treks to immerse enthusiast players deeper in the game. As players attack an oncoming threat with three action-centered flippers, the all-LED playfield will captivate onlookers and enhance the player experience with features like phaser flashes and photon torpedoes.

Players will instinctively know exactly what to do when they approach Star Trek pinball – destroy the U.S.S. Vengeance, a key action-packed feature on the playing field. From the very start, players will have the chance to unlock special opportunities, collect tantalizing bonus features and win a series of accolades called The Captain’s Chair. Star Trek aficionados can expect the classic battle between the heroic Enterprise team and the villainous Khan as well as run-ins with Nero, Klingons and the Narada.

Games configured for North America operate on 60 cycle electricity only.

These games will not operate in countries with 50 cycle electricity (including but not limited to Europe, UK, Australia).

FIRST LOOK: Star Trek Pinball Machine

Can’t get enough of Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness ? Well, you can immerse yourself in the universe of both films with the brand-new Star Trek pinball machine from Stern Pinball. In the game, you – the player – are Captain James T. Kirk, leading the crew of the Enterprise into battle against the USS Vengeance and maneuvering to rescue Spock.

The first all-LED Pro Model from Stern, the Star Trek pinball machine boasts three lightning-fast ramps, an animated battleship, a trio of flippers, resettable memory drop targets and much more. The game’s playfield features eight multicolored LED paths that lead gamers along easy-to-understand color-coded routes. There are a half-dozen missions for casual players and 18 complex treks designed to thrust enthusiast players far deeper into the game. As players attack an oncoming threat with the three action-centered flippers, the all-LED playfield will captivate onlookers and enhance the player experience with such features as phaser flashes and photon torpedoes. Players can also unlock special opportunities, amass bonus features and earn accolades (called The Captain’s Chair). And fans can expect to battle Khan, Nero, Klingons and Nero’s ship, the Narada, as well.

The Star Trek pinball machine will be available via authorized Stern distributors and dealers in a Pro Version, Premium Version and Limited Edition Version. Click HERE to visit Stern Pinball for additional details.
