LASER BALL Pinball machine from Williams (1979) in Gameplay

Greetings from germany. It is June 2026, and I realize it has been decades since I last encountered Williams' "Laser Ball." The pinball machine hit the market in late 1979, and it must have been around 1981 or 1982 that I played this classic Williams widebody and sank my meager pocket money into it. The game itself is a quintessential example of early electronic pinball. Williams simply had the best sound back then, and we found that incredibly captivating. It was a huge surprise to come across this specific model at the "Roger Sharpe" event at Pinball Universe in Bünde. Fantastic!
