Pin-Bot

The game is controlled with two flippers, and has a manual plunger. The main objective of Pin-Bot is to advance through the planets of the Solar System , starting at Pluto and reaching the Sun. The player advances from planet to planet by hitting specially marked targets, earning special bonuses throughout the game. The game begins with a skillshot up the spiral vortex ramp with the player attempting to get the ball in the middle hole. Pin-Bot's main feature is a grid of lights in the center of the playfield, just below Pin-Bot. The player can fill this grid by hitting the targets above and to the right of it, and can complete them with one shot at the beginning of the game by hitting the target for the lit column or row; if unsuccessful then multiple targets are hit to complete all 25 lights. Once completed, the visor opens, enabling the player to lock two balls in the robot's eye sockets, starting a two-ball multiball mode. The player can then re-lock one of the balls and use the other to score a Solar Value (jackpot) up the left ramp, at which point both balls go back into play. Each shot up the left ramp increases the Solar Value until it is collected, and this jackpot is carried over between games.
