pinball - X-FILES!
PHILADELPHIA,
PA SEPTEMBER 22nd, 1997 -----
Sightings
reported in the area of Agents Scully and Mulder. Investigation
begins.
In
a dark, remote warehouse, a neatly aligned row of boxes shield a
TOP SECRET project. One box is opened and the contents revealed.
Four legs, a long body and tall head come to life when
electricity is applied.
It
is the long-anticipated X-Files pinball machine...
(Thank you
for your patience as this graphics-intensive web-site loads. High
resolution images ahead!)
Featuring
this fabulous artwork in the SEGA SHOWCASE backbox cabinet!

Cabinet artwork (above)
Behind the backglass artwork and Dot Matrix
Display.
There is no 3-D version available of the
backglass artwork.
Note that there is no right speaker in
the head, although from the front it appears that there is one!
The magnificent artwork and colors of the lower
playfield.
Beautiful green lighting illuminates the large
"X" in front of the flippers.
Shoot the "X's" to lite BIG
"X" for the TRUTH.
From left to right:
The alien baby ("Erlenmeyer Flask"),
Agents Scully and Mulder ID cards on back wall, the filing
cabinet, Flukeman ("The Host").
It was very cool to watch the "unseen
force" take control of the ball in front of the filing
cabinet - adding an unpredictability to the ball's movement.
The left ramp area, showing the brilliant colors
and artwork.
Green covers (lower left) cast an eerie glow
while playing the game.
Flukeman from "The Host" on the right
side of the playfield.
The playfield affords a wide-open view of the
upper playfield shots.
The F-B-I Trap Door pops up in front of
the right ramp.
The X-Files Pinball. It's Out
There.
"Investigate" it for
yourself!
