# Firepower

"Firepower," released by Williams in February 1980, is a seminal pinball machine designed by Steve Ritchie. It holds the distinction of being the first solid-state pinball machine to feature a three-ball multiball and the "lane change" feature, which allows players to control the lit status of the topmost rollovers using the right flipper button.
