** ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' (1991) by Williams. One of the first games (but not the first game) to feature a dot-matrix display[[hottip:*:This was the first Williams/Bally game that was ''designed'' with a DMD. ''GilligansIsland'' was the first Williams/Bally game ''released'' with a DMD, but T2 had a longer production schedule. The first game to use a DMD at all was Data East's ''Checkpoint''; the height of the DMD was half of the usual height.]] It was the first pinball to use a video mode. Also, instead of the traditional plunger for launching the ball, you actually "shoot" the ball using a gun trigger, and sometimes it'll even ''shoot the ball automatically'' (if you lose the ball early, or whenever you trigger multiball).
