# Flight 2000

"Flight 2000," a pinball machine released by Stern Electronics in 1980, stands out as the company's first talking pinball game. Designed by Harry Williams with artwork by Gerry Simkus and Doug Watson, this widebody machine features a futuristic space flight theme. A key highlight is its 3-ball multiball feature, where each ball undergoes three distinct "lift-off" stages through a maze-like ball lock mechanism.
