Revenge from Mars 3D Pinball Machine Bally Arcade 1999 LED Upgrade EXTRAS/Topper

Description

EXCELLENT and FUN PINBALL GAME! We play this one a lot, and really hate to get rid of it. Set up currently for free play. All lights are LED. Plays like it should, LCD screen upgrade. Clear pictures and sound. All keys included. LED 3D Topper included as well. There are a few LED props included, just not installed(Eiffel Tower and Tower of Piza) The computer has been upgraded, and I do have the original game card that went with the old system. I prefer local pick up, but if buyer wants to have shipped it is at their expense.
The playfield is in very nice shape, no chips or cracks. The outside of the cabinet has vivid graphics, but there are a few scuffs. Overall very nice machine, getting harder to find. This is part of the pinball 2000 series. If you have not seen this game played i recommend looking it up...its awesome!
Pinball 2000
was the last
pinball
hardware and software platform developed by major pinball manufacturer
Williams
, and was used in the machines
Revenge From Mars
(under the brand name
Bally
) and
Star Wars Episode I
(under the brand name Williams) before Williams exited the pinball business on October 25, 1999. It is the successor to the
Williams Pinball Controller
platform.

Unlike previous pinball machines, Pinball 2000 machines feature a computer monitor to display animations, scores, and other information. The player perceives this video to be integrated with the playfield, due to a mirrored playfield glass (utilizing an illusion called "
Pepper's Ghost
") that reflects the monitor hung in the head of the machine.

This allows the display of virtual game targets in the playfield's upper third that can be "hit" by the machine's physical steel ball. "Impacts" on these targets are detected by physical targets in the middle of the playfield, and by recognizing successful shots up the left and right ramps and orbits/loops.
Revenge from Mars
, the first of the two released games, sold a promising 6,878 units. However,
Star Wars Episode I
suffered from a rushed and top-secret production cycle and sold only about half as many units (3,525), leading to Williams' decision to close down its historic pinball division
