History Pinball / TimeMachineZaccaria

* OneMillionBC: Used on the left half of the pinball table to represent the Past.

* StockDinosaurs: Dinosaurs in the past include a tyrannosaurus, a triceratops, a beaked pterosaur, a duckbilled hadrosaur, and a giant serpent.

'''Time Machine''' is a PhysicalPinballTable manufactured by Creator/{{Zaccaria}} in 1983.

* NamesTheSame: Actually [[Pinball/TimeMachineDataEast shares it's name with a pinball machine from Data East]] that was released 6 years later.

The game casts the the player as the assistant to an unnamed Scientist who has invented a TimeMachine. Beginning in the future, use the four bottom flippers to shoot the bumpers and standup targets to build up the Bonus Future. When you're ready, head for the Time Hole to activate the TimeMachine, retract the main playfield, and enter the distant past. While in the past, shoot the fixed targets to complete the machine and light the Green Special, then build up the Bonus Past. Return to the Time Hole to travel between the past and the future, orbit the Time Bridge to raise the bonus multiplier, then master time itself and get the Machine Special.

Among Zaccaria's modest game library, ''Time Machine'' stands out for being one of their more memorable titles, as the retracting playfield was a great innovation at the time. Unfortunately, it's also the game's main weakness; playing in The Past is a very spartan experience, which makes that portion of the game tedious as a result. Once the novelty wears off, what's left is a decent but unspectacular game.

* OneMillionBC: Used on the left half of the pinball to represent the Past.

* SpellingBonus: Spelling M-A-C-H-I-N-E (either in the Past or the Future) lights the Time Hole for a 1,000,000 point Machine Special bonus.

->'''Scientist:''' "You have ruined the experiment."

* BaldOfEvil: Although the morality of the Scientist is never given, his KubrickStare and bald head combine to invoke this trope.

* ExcusePlot

'''Time Machine''' is a PhysicalPinballTable manufactured by Zaccaria in 1983.

* GiantWallOfWateryDoom[=/=]TimeCrash: On the playfield, the collision of Past and Future eras is represented by a massive waterspout that dwarfs mountains.

A digital version is available for ''VideoGame/ZaccariaPinball''.

* DownToTheLastPlay: As with many Zacarria pinballs, ''Time Machine'' has a "Game Time Bonus" feature: during the last ball, a timer is incremented during play. When it drains, the player keeps playing until the timer counts down to zero.

* BaldOfEvil: Although the morality of the Scientist is never given, his steely gaze and bald head definitely invoke this trope.
* DeterminedExpression: The Scientist takes TimeTravel '''very''' seriously.
