TX-Sector

TX-Sector is a 1988 arcade pinball machine from Premier (Gottlieb), designed by John Trudeau with art by Constantino and Jeanine Mitchell. It features a vague Science Fiction Excuse Plot about Teleporters and Transporters; hit the various drop targets to build up the Energy Level, then shoot for one of the Transphazers and be teleported across the playield. For even more points, max out the Energy Levels, trigger a Teleporter Accident and replicate yourself, then enter the Infinity Zone to quickly build up your score.

Among pinheads, TX-Sector is an uncomplicated game infamous for two things: its eye-watering lavender and hot pink backglass, and its Awesome Eighties Chiptune soundtrack. Fortunately, the game itself doesn't disappoint — it's neither insultingly easy nor annoyingly difficult, but has enough of a challenge to give players a decent amount of playtime.
