As the name indicates, this table is based on the popular [[TheSeventies seventies]] [[Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan television show]] starring Lee Majors. It is a quintessential example of early solid-state pinball -- shoot the top saucer to advance the bonus multiplier and light the outlanes for a Special, and complete the five-bank drop targets to increase the awards. Complete the Bionic Power Awards for a 50,000 point bonuses and open the ball-save gate, then make yourself invincible by hitting the center stand-up target to raise the up-post between the flippers, blocking (almost) every exit on the field.

* SpellingBonus: SpelL 5-0-0-0-0 to enable the Bionic Power Score bonus and to open the right outlane gate.
* TradeSnark: In this game, you can't spell "bionic" without the "TM"

!!The 'Six Million Dollar Man'' pinball demonstrates the following tropes:

''The Six Million Dollar Man'' is notable for being the first solid-state pin to support up to six players. Aside from that, it's a respectable game from pinball's golden age, with solid albeit unremarkable gameplay and a good balance of things to shoot for. Over 10,000 units were made, and it is still in fairly high demand by collectors looking for some nostalgic fun.
