Notes: 'Galaxy' has computer-controlled general illumination and may be the first pinball machine to have it.

The artist's name is located on the backglass at the bottom end of the center blue galaxy. Artist Bob Timm told us he did both the backglass and playfield for this game while he was at Ad Posters. He said cabinet art was always done at the cabinet maker and, as far as he knew, none of the game artists had anything to do with it.

This game was also manufactured in Australia under license as LAI's 1980 'Galaxy'.
