# Barracora

The "Barracora" pinball machine, produced by Williams Electronics in 1981, is a solid-state game designed by Barry Oursler, Roger Sharpe, and Steve Epstein. It features artwork by Doug Watson, which draws inspiration from H.R. Giger, known for his work on the film "Alien". The game has a sci-fi and fantasy theme, highlighted by its striking and somewhat controversial backglass art depicting a morphing predatory fish and a model's head​.
