Description

Lost World is the first pinball machine that uses electronic sounds which replaces chimes. It is also the first machine that uses a photographic backglass.[1] The game spawned a sequel - Paragon released in 1979.[3]

The machine features a simple gameplay with the goal of hitting the A-B-C-D-E-F targets repeatedly. The playfield contains very few other feature including three pop bumpers, two kickouts, a captive ball and a spinner.[4]

The backglass depicts a dragon, a warrior and a woman. Designer Paul Faris and his wife were the models for the latter.[5] His daughter was later also the model for the Christine Daaé character on the backglass of the pinball machine The Phantom of the Opera.[6]

Digital versions

Lost World is a playable table in Williams Pinball Classics (2001) by Encore, Inc. for PC.[7]
