Middle Earth

Middle Earth is a Pinball Table designed by Gary Slater with art by George Opperman; it was released in 1978 by Atari.

Despite the title, the game has nothing to do with Tolkien’s Legendarium. Instead, the name comes from the table’s setting, an alien Lost World filled with feral beasts, bloodthirsty dinosaurs, giant apes, strange monsters, and the brave futuristic explorers trying to tame it all. But like Middle Earth itself, mastering this pinball won’t be easy, as its double playfields and offset flippers require unconventional pinball skills.
