# Time Tunnel

The *Time Tunnel* pinball machine, developed by Bally in 1971, was an ambitious electro-mechanical game designed by Jim Patla with art by Christian Marche. However, the machine never saw full production due to a copyright conflict with the "Time Tunnel" TV show. Only 70 units were produced before it was rebranded and redesigned as *Space Time* and later *Time Zone*.
