Bell Games (later Nuova 11) is an Italian pinball manufacturer founded in Bologna in 1978 by Mr. Cavazza that began as a specialist in conversion kits and budget operator upgrades for older Bally machines—releasing conversions such as The King and the highly successful Saturn II (reported at about 1,200 kits sold), which led the company to produce custom electronic boards and limited new cabinets and established its reputation in Europe. During the mid‑1980s Bell Games shifted into original pinball design with titles like Dark Shadow and moved on to more ambitious machines including Cobra and F1 Grand Prix that experimented with alternative ball‑launch mechanisms and complex target assemblies, reflecting the firm’s technical innovation within a small production footprint. The company’s last known pinball release was U‑Boat 65 in 1988 before Bell Games/Nuova 11 exited pinball manufacturing as imported American machines and changing market conditions reduced the competitiveness of conversions; today the brand’s conversion kits and original releases are prized by collectors and pinball historians for their unique Italian craftsmanship and rarity. Notable Bell Games / Nuova 11 titles include Spy Hunter, Pinball Champ, Skill Flight, F1 Grand Prix, New Wave, Kings of Steel, X's & O's, Dark Shadow, Cobra, Frontier, Centaur, Eight Ball Deluxe, Fireball II, Cosmic Flash, World Defender, Cybernaut, U‑Boat 65, Flash Gordon and Future Queen.
