# Hi Ball

The "Hi-Ball" pinball machine, produced by Italian manufacturer Tecnoplay in 1988, is a solid-state game notable for its unique vertical cabinet design. The playfield is suspended on springs, allowing it to be shaken similarly to a traditional pinball cabinet. A vacuum-formed horseshoe-shaped ramp, labeled "Space Journey," enables the ball to access upper playfield areas, returning to the flippers via clear plastic aerial crossover ramps.
