Star Trek TNG - Flipper

A successful high-tech pinball machine featuring a brilliant DCS sound system, first-class lighting effects, a catapult ball launcher, and two laser cannons for precise shots on the playfield.

The objective is to complete many missions and fight your way to the final mode, “Final Frontier.” This mode then launches an ominous finale with six balls and an endless number of high-value million-point shots. It is crucial to have collected as many crystals as possible in advance through skilled and experienced play (50 million points each) and to have completed the missions as successfully as possible.

There is a dot matrix game simulation that allows the player to control a spaceship, which must navigate through narrow mountain tunnels, avoid mines, and at the same time collect points and extra balls. The speech and sound of this pinball machine are very impressive and are fully integrated into an action-packed space adventure aboard the Enterprise.

The Star Trek: TNG pinball machine offers very deep gameplay, ensuring years of lasting fun. It is a highly demanding pinball machine with a very high level of popularity among pinball enthusiasts.

It is one of the heaviest pinball machines ever produced. Instead of the usual 115–120 kg, Star Trek TNG weighs 135 kg. The reason for this is the many metal parts located on and beneath the playfield, as well as the extra width of 7 cm.

Restoration of this machine is particularly time-consuming and complex. If it is not carried out perfectly and with extensive experience, the Star Trek TNG will not be freed from its design-related issues. This machine should only be purchased from a professional workshop with a warranty.

In recent years, since 2010, there has been an exorbitant price increase for Star Trek TNG base machines. Today, the machine is already significantly more expensive than The Addams Family and, in our opinion, will continue to widen the price gap. Therefore, one should not wait too long before deciding to purchase such a top-class pinball machine.
