Overview
Capt. Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy is an electromechanical (EM) pinball machine designed by Greg Kmiec and released by Bally in February 1976. A semi-sequel to Bally's earlier Wizard!!, it's named after the chart-topping pop album by Elton John, and features John dressed as the Local Lad from the rock opera movie Tommy.
The game's eye-catching artwork, approachable gameplay, and Elton John's popularity made it one of the most produced pinball machines of all-time. With 16,155 units it is the most successful EM flipper-game ever, and ranks at #10 combined with solid-state/DMD-games. Enthusiasts consider it one of the iconic pinballs of the '70s.
