Laser War is the first pinball machine that was produced by Data East Pinball. It was the first pinball machine to feature digital stereo sound,[1] and is loosely based on Lazer Tag.[2]

Data East had been trying to get a pinball division for 2 years before this machine to sell them through their existing distribution network.[3] The game was first revealed in November 1986, and completed and tested before its release in May 1987.[4]

Design

This is notable as the "first pinball specifically designed for digital stereo". There are separate ROMs for voice and music, and includes advanced speech. The digital speakers are in a chrome enclosure as part of the backbox.[5]

Gameplay

Reception

In a review for Play Meter, Roger Sharpe gave the game 3.5/4 with a layout that is fair to an average player, yet still challenging for a more skilled player.[7]
