Description
[edit]First versions of the backglass showed the crew of the Enterprise dressed in the uniforms from the original Star Trek television series. This was changed early in the production to show them dressed in single-color clothing to fit with the film Star Trek: The Motion Picture that was to be released at the same time as the game. Gameplay includes 2 Flippers, 3 Pop bumpers, one Kick-out hole, one 4-bank drop targets and a free ball return lane.[1]
The table has also made an appearance in Rammstein's "Amerika" music video.
