Safe Cracker tutorial
"Safe Cracker," designed by Pat Lawlor and released by Bally in 1996, is a unique pinball machine that integrates a safecracking theme with a board game element. Unlike standard pinball machines, "Safe Cracker" features a smaller playfield and operates on a timer instead of a fixed number of balls. The main goal is to break into the bank’s vault, progressing through various playfield targets to gain entry.

Matt Owen ranks all twelve pinball machines released in 1996, worst to best — from Capcom's Flipper Football to Williams' Tales of the Arabian Nights — as the whole class turns 30.

Every now and again, we see some absolutely insane layouts, designs, or gimmicks which send a machine down in fame - or infamy - for their unusual nature.
