Atari Superman widebody (Refurbished)

Description

1979 Atari Superman Widebody Pinball Machine

Your Flight into Classic Pinball History.

Step back to 1979 and play a piece of arcade legend—the Atari Superman Widebody, a landmark machine from a brief but significant era. With its expansive playfield and comic-book spectacle, every flip of the flipper is a journey back to when Atari dared to define pinball’s future.

Featuring the legendary design of Steve Ritchie, revolutionary software and sound by Eugene Jarvis, and iconic artwork by George Opperman, this machine was built by an all-star team. As Ritchie noted, working with Jarvis was an exercise in audio innovation that would later influence pinball for years to come.

Historic Design & Playfield Features

• The Atari WideAction™ Playfield: Atari’s signature “Widebody” design offered a broader, more open battlefield, setting it apart from all other games of its time.

• Lex Luthor’s Lair vs. Fortress of Solitude: Battle the villain in “Luthor’s Lair” on the right with its scoring spinner, then save the day by shooting the looping “Fortress of Solitude” lane on the left.

• Strategic Drop Target Bank: The central bank of five drop targets is the heart of the game’s strategy. Hitting the lit target increases your points and advances the value of the kick-out hole award.

This is more than just a game; it’s a rare artifact from Atari’s pinball division and the only classic Superman pinball machine ever made. It offers a unique, historic playing experience for the collector who values pioneering design and comic-book legacy.
