Description
TX-Sector was one of only three pinball machines to use a Vitrigraph playfield besides the games Victory and Diamond Lady.[1]
The pinball machine creates the illusion of teleporting the ball by so-called staged balls that are hidden and released when needed.[2]
The game was praised in a review by Classic Game Room for its music and sound effects, which raised the machine's market value.[2][3]
