"Hardbody," a pinball machine released by Bally in 1987, features a unique fitness-themed design inspired by bodybuilding culture. It includes four flippers, two ramps, and an alphanumeric display, emphasizing precision shots and strategic gameplay. Unlike many pinball machines of its era, "Hardbody" does not have a multiball feature, making it stand out with its challenging single-ball play. The artwork and sound design, which reflect the era’s fitness craze, were crafted by Greg Freres and Bob Libbe, respectively. This machine is popular among collectors for its distinct theme and nostalgic appeal.
