TX-Sector is a pinball machine designed by John Trudeau and released by Gottlieb in 1988. The game features a scifi theme and revolves around raising the energy level to teleport the ball.
Description
TX-Sector was one of only three pinball machines to use a Vitrigraph playfield besides the games Victory and Diamond Lady.
The pinball machine creates the illusion of teleporting the ball by so-called staged balls that are hidden and released when needed.
The game was praised in a review by Classic Game Room for its music and sound effects, which raised the machine's market value.
