Nostalgic Space Odyssey Games

Explore the Far Reaches of Space with the Star Trek Pinball Machine

— January 21, 2014 — Tech
Set your phasers to fun when you play with your Star Trek pinball machine, made by the good people over at Stern Pinball.

Inspired by the recent J.J. Abrams' Stark Trek reboots: Star Trek and its sequel Star Trek Into Darkness, the Star Trek pinball machine features high definition artwork, classic musical scores, intense action packed battles and more lights than the U.S.S. Enterprise. When you play Star Trek Pinball, you’ll complete six missions and over 18 mini missions throughout the entire campaign and fight against the notable villains from the series: Nero, Klingons, the U.S.S. Vengeance and of course Khan.

So if you think you’re ready to handle the captain’s chair, step up to the Star Trek pinball machine and get ready to boldly go where millions of people in the 80s have boldly went before.
