# Beat the Clock

"Beat the Clock," released by Bally in November 1985, is a distinctive pinball machine that replaces traditional ball-based play with a time-based system. Players start with a set amount of time and can extend gameplay by hitting specific targets, such as the "S-T-O-P" targets to pause the clock and the "T-I-M-E-R" targets to add time.
