Demolition Man Pinball Machine — You Control It Differently

Demolition Man Pinball Machine

Grab the two gun-shaped handles mounted on the cabinet, and you’re not playing pinball the usual way anymore. Demolition Man, built by Williams in 1994 and based on the Stallone and Snipes film, hands you trigger-and-button grips instead of relying only on standard flipper buttons — and using them actually scores you more points on certain combos. It’s a small design choice that changes how the whole game feels in your hands.

The Controls Work Differently — Here’s How

Most pinball machines put all your input on two side buttons. This one adds upright handle grips with a thumb button and a trigger, wired to control the same flippers, plunger, and a few hidden extras. Play it “the normal way” and it works fine. Play it with the handles the way it was designed, and certain multiball modes and combo shots pay out more — which gives you a real reason to switch it up mid-game instead of falling into the same habits every time.

What Else Makes Demolition Man Pinball Machine Worth a Look

• A player-controlled magnetic “Cryo Claw” that you move to different positions on the playfield to trigger different modes
• Custom voice work from Sylvester Stallone and Wesley Snipes, recorded specifically for the game
• 5 multiball modes, 3 ramps, and a small car-shaped target you physically crash the ball into
• A widebody cabinet — one of only 7 “SuperPin” widebody machines Williams ever produced, alongside titles like Twilight Zone and Star Trek: The Next Generation
• A production run of just 7,019 units, which is on the smaller side for a Williams title from this era

Specifications of Demolition Man Pinball Machine

Space Needed for Demolition Man Pinball Machine

Because it’s a widebody cabinet, it takes up a bit more floor space than a standard-width pinball machine — plan for roughly 2.4 feet of width and 4.6 feet of depth, plus about 6.25 feet of ceiling clearance for the backbox. A standard household outlet is all it needs.

Why Collectors Look For This One Specifically

Widebody Williams machines from this era are genuinely rare — only 7 titles were ever built this way, and Demolition Man is one of them. Combine that with the unique handle controls and dual Stallone/Snipes voice work, and it’s a machine that stands out in a room even next to other 90s classics. If you’re building a collection with real variety, this earns its spot for reasons beyond nostalgia.
