# Lost World

The "Lost World" pinball machine, released by Bally in 1977, stands out for several pioneering features in pinball history. Designed by Gary Gayton with artwork by Paul Faris, it was the first machine to incorporate electronic sounds, replacing the traditional chimes, and also the first to use a photographic backglass, which allowed for more vibrant and detailed imagery​.
