It’s even crazier than that - Bally Williams owned Midway, and spun themselves off into WMS who made pinball and gambling machines and Midway Games who made the Mortal Kombats and a fair few other video games (Ed Boon programmed a few pinball machines even, back in the day before they spun off and he went with Midway).
Midway Games went “bankrupt” and got bought by Warner Bros (which is why they publish MK these days), whereas WMS and Bally got bought by another gambling machine company. Dunno if they still sell anything under those labels but the company that bought them is still around
Love how the lightbulbs make specific parts glow.
The lonely light coming from the diver’s boat… it’s amazing how using just some table art and a back glass the designers could create the feeling of seeing into another world - but yeah the way the lights are used is very unique, kinda reminds me stained glass windows. Lots of people who play virtual pinball on their computers set it up so that a second monitor above the playfield acts like a real backglass, with simulated flashing lightbulbs and everything lol:
