NBA Fastbreak

Overview

NBA Fastbreak is a pinball machine released in 1997 by Williams Electronics (under its Bally label).

Designed by George Gomez, the game casts the player in the role of one of the NBA's then-29 teams, playing off against another on the court. The ultimate goal is to complete six tasks (ranging from activating every multiball to merely scoring 20 points) to win a trophy, then engage in Trophy Multiball for a shot at winning a championship ring for your team. Unsurprisingly, getting to this point heavily revolves around a plastic facsimile of a basketball hoop on the playfield. The player can shoot the ball into it from a ramp or pass it to one of four holes surrounding it (though they need to contend with a defensive player aiming to block the shot). Other features of note include a flipper, ball, and basket contained within the backglass (which can be used to rack up quite a few points when activated), high scores that are divided by teams, and the ability to link two machines together for a unique timed multiplayer mode.
