Notable Features

Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (3), Horseshoe lane (1). Going through the horseshoe lane or top center rollover when lit changes a center outlane located below the flippers into a kicker that propels an otherwise drained ball upward through the flippers back onto the playfield. Balls that exit via the left or right outlanes can be nudged by the player onto unique wireforms that will route the ball to this center outlane/kicker. Still images of science fiction are projected onto the screen in the playfield as an earned feature. The picture will change during game play.

Historical Notes

Conversion of Bally's 1980 'Silverball Mania'. Lower left backglass has M-A-G-I-C lights. Reinhard Deutsch, owner of Arkon and the inventor of the Picture Pin™, produced this game after AMOA personnel made him cover the backglass of his Sexy Girl game at one of their shows. He noticed that it only drew more attention from customers. He then decided to make Magic Picture Pin so that operators could simply change the backglass and film cassette and again have that risque earlier game. Both the flyer and apron indicate Arkon Automaten. No other company name is evident.
