The Pinball Game is a GoBots novelty produced by Gordy International in 1984. It basically consists of the standard plastic contained pocket pinball set of the era with a card background featuring images of Psycho, Zeemon, Professor Von Joy, Cy-Kill, Turbo, Leader-1 and Herr Fiend slid in. Knowing Gordy it was also sold with branding for just about anything else you'd care to mention.

Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Pulling the plunger fires the small balls around. If the ball lands in one of the notches next to the picture the player scores the number of points indicated. The game was too cheap to involve flippers or anything else; scoring depends on honesty. It's so slapped together that there's not any attempt to make the scoring consistent either - such as making the Renegades positive scores and Guardians negative or anything like that. Resetting the game involved turning it upside-down.
