Flight 2000

The game has 3-ball multiball where each ball is launched through three separate ‘Lift-Off’ stages. This is placed at the upper left of the playfield inside a maze-like ball lock mechanism.

The playfield contains a ball capture feature in the upper left and a spinner and drop targets in the middle. Space ships heading to the stars are depicted on the backbox.

Flight 2000’s has a robotic synthesised speech sound that fits well to its space travel theme. Pinball machines with speech were still seldom in 1980. Bally, released Xenon not until a couple of months later.

The pinball machine is well received for its combination of attractive art and Harry Williams’ innovative design therefore Flight 2000 sold well and is still widely recognized as one of Stern’s most finest and memorable games
