Addams Family Pinball Machine by Bally (High End Restoration) was launched in 1992 and is the best-selling pinball machine ever made, amounting to over 20,000 units built and sold. It was manufactured by Midway, under the Bally name. It is based on the movie of the same name, and features genuine custom speech by the movie’s stars, Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston.

Why is the Addams Family one of the most sought after pinball machines?

Several factors contributed to the immense success of this game upon its release, establishing it as a highly coveted piece among collectors today.

During the game’s launch, video arcade games were on the decline in popularity, largely due to the improving quality of home gaming systems. Simultaneously, pinball underwent a resurgence with a series of technological advancements, notably the introduction of the dot matrix display screen housed in the backbox. This innovation allowed for the incorporation of animations, providing clearer explanations of game objectives, special modes, and high scores.

However, it was the gameplay itself that truly captivated players. The inclusion of three distinctive “toys” not only enhanced the gameplay but also introduced a captivating “wow” factor for both players and onlookers. This combination of technological innovation and engaging gameplay contributed significantly to the game’s success and continues to make it highly sought after by collectors:

• Thing – a hand that comes out of the the box at the top right hand side of the playfield, using a magnet to pick up the ball and then disappear again
• The Power – using under-playfield electromagnets when activated it would cuase the ball to move in a random manner, devaiting it’s course and sometimes flipping it in an entirely different direction.
• Thing Flips – Above the top left flipper was an optical sensor that at certain points in the game let the machine attempt to read the speed of the ball, and taking control of the flipper from the player hit a shot on the opposite side of the field. This is the first CPU controlled flipper in pinball history. The game’s ability to use missed shots to calibrate future attempts resulted in an automatic flip that was impressively accurate.
