He's a pinball wizard
There has got to be a twist
A pinball wizard's
Got such a supple wrist
"Pinball Wizard," 1969, Peter Townshend
You too could be a pinball wizard or put on your own production of the rock opera "Tommy" with this fun and funky "Future Spa" pinball machine by Bally Manufacturing Corporation. Created in 1979, Future Spa was the first pinball game by this company to use a continuous background sound.
The unique recessed back-box lighting and prismatic diffuser behind the "Future Spa" logo sought to create a holographic effect. Bally's marketing declared that, "Future Spa will awaken your pinball senses."
The Bally Manufacturing Corporation was founded in 1932, and quickly became a leading pinball maker. By the late 1930s, the company began to manufacture mechanical slot machines. During WWII, Bally turned to manufacturing munitions and airplane parts. Afterwards, the company continued to manufacture and innovate pinball machines and gambling devices, as well as designing and manufacturing vending machines. By the 1970s, Bally expanded into video games, including three of the most iconic, Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Ms. Pac-Man. Bally also began acquiring casinos and other businesses and in 1988 sold its arcade game division.
