![]() If the player misses, Data will say, “The probe has discovered nothing, sir”. Launch Probe: The ball will be loaded into one of the two cannons, located on top of the slings. Another ball is popped from the left scoop and onto the left inlanes.įlipper Skill Shot: The player has to shoot the ball up the right ramp (the Beta Quadrant) for a random award. Unless otherwise noted, the ball is launched through the spiral ramp and into the lock hole (above the pop bumpers). When a new ball is launched into the plunger, the player is given one of five launch awards, which is selected when the ball is fired. It is also the third pinball game overall based on the Star Trek franchise, following the 1979 pinball game by Bally, and the 1991 game by Data East (both based on the original series). Apart from the regular highscore-list and the buy-in-list, it also features a reminiscence to The Machine: Bride of Pin*Bot billionaires club. It is the only pinball machine that features three separate highscore-lists. It was part of WMS’ SuperPin series (see also The Twilight Zone and Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure), and was based on the TV series. Star Trek: The Next Generation is a widebody pinball game, designed by Steve Ritchie and released in November 1993 by Williams Electronics. Also, each doctor spotted in the game (this count may be more than 7) is worth a 1M bonus at the end of the last ball (so don’t tilt it!), and this bonus (unlike the regular bonus) is multiplied by the Playfield X. Either way, all of them will be lit for the rest of the game, and you receive an additional bonus of 2OM, as well as a small animation, which plays even after a tilt! After all 7 doctors are spotted, they can be spotted a second (third, etc) time, and running through all 7 a second time awards another 2OM bonus. There are 2 ways to spot all seven doctors – either go through them all one-by-one, or shoot the Emperor Daleks jackpot. When a doctor- spotting shot is made, the current doctor will become solidly lit (so his attributes are carried over for the rest of the game), and the “current” doctor becomes the previously unlit doctor directly to the left of the previous one. At the start of a ball (or when a ball has been locked), you get to choose the “current” doctor – his picture will flash on the backglass. Each Doctor has the effect of changing the rules of one area of the Playfield, making a list of the rules all the more annoying and probably confusing.įirst some general information about the Doctors… there are many ways to “spot” doctors throughout the game – one is awarded at the start of any ball, and can be spotted through the Transmat target or Video Mode. There are 7 Doctors, as one can plainly see from the backglass… quite conveniently, they are numbered 1-7. The character was only included in the display animation because when the DMD programming was finalizing the liquid metal character was already public knowledge. T-1000 was not included in the artwork of the table, with the exception of a small image of actor Robert Patrick because of pre-release secrecy of the movie. Some playfield design elements were based on Ritchie’s 1980 classic, Firepower. Arnold Schwarzenegger provided voices for the game. ![]() Finally, T2 was the first game to feature a video mode, a mini video game featured on the DMD. Terminator 2: Judgment Day was the first game to feature an autoplunger (replacing the traditional plunger), as well as a ball-firing cannon (dubbed, “Gun Grip Ball Launcher”). But due to the long design phase, Gilligan’s Island was the first manufactured with a DMD. The table is the first Williams WPC machine designed to feature a dot-matrix display.
