Top 17 Science-Fiction-Themed Pinball Machines

Science-fiction and pinball are a natural fit. The genre's expansive worlds offer pinball designers far-out imagery to use in their games, and there's a natural overlap in the fan bases. And while pinball designers have been making campy sci-fi-themed machines since at least the 1960s, the crossovers hit a new height in the 90s, when pinball manufacturers began a rush to build machines based on both past (Star Trek and Star Wars) and current (Waterworld) sci-fi blockbusters. Here are 17 of the greatest sci-fi-inspired pinball machines ever made, found on a recent visit to Las Vegas' Pinball Hall of Fame.

Fun Fun,
 
No Star Trek Next Generation, Fire power, or Attack from Mars.

for shame those should have been auto includes over some of those titles
 
I just thought it was cool to see a article about pinball in the wild... I.E. not on an Arcade message board :D
 
Agree with SM....STNG is #1, AFM #2......That DE Star Trek is aweful. The big enigma is how in the world are Mario and Haunted House Sci-Fi....I digress...Would love to have that Centigrade 37 though......
