I've seen these from time to time over the years, but I have never seen them all in one place...until now. I have scoured YouTube and Facebook and put together the complete collection of Bally Pinball promotional videos from the 1990s. I stumbled across the one for Scared Stiff randomly earlier and I said to myself, I wonder how many others have been preserved? That begun my fall down the Rabbit Hole. So here they are, in chronological order. I hope that you enjoy this blast from the past as much as I did! Kudos to those who preserved and uploaded these videos for posterity, especially "Jan van den Munckhof" and "duncanfbrown." I have never uploaded remotely close to this many video links in a single post before, who who knows what will happen when I press the button. Don't worry, there's a "near zero chance that doing so will end life on Earth as we know it." These were all of the promotional videos that I could find. If anyone knows of any others, hit me up and I'll add them. 1991 Bally Gilligan's Island: 1991 Williams Hurricane: 1991 Bally Party Zone: 1991 Williams Terminator 2: 1992 Bally The Addams Family: 1992 Bally Black Rose: 1992 Bally Creature From the Black Lagoon: 1992 Bally Dr. Who: 1992 Williams Fish Tales: 1992 The Getaway: High Speed II: 1993 Bally Dracula: 1993 Williams Indiana Hilton Jones: The Pinball Adventure: 1993 Bally Judge Dredd: 1993 Williams Star Trek: The Next Generation: 1993 Bally Twilight Zone: 1993 Williams White Water: 1994 Bally Corvette: 1994 Williams Demolition Man: 1994 The Flintstones: 1994 Williams Red and Ted's Road Show: 1994 Bally The Shadow: 1994 Bally Popeye Saves the Earth: 1994 Bally World Cup Soccer: 1995 Bally Attack From Mars: 1995 Williams Dirty Harry: 1995 Bally Indianapolis 500: 1995 No Fear: Dangerous Sports: 1995 Jack*Bot: 1995 Johnny Mnemonic: 1995 Bally Theatre of Magic: 1996 Bally Safecracker: 1996 Bally Scared Stiff: 1997 Bally Cirqus Voltaire: 1997 Bally NBA Fastbreak: 1997 Williams Medieval Madness: 1997 Williams No Good Gophers: 1998 Monster Bash: 1999 Bally Revenge From Mars: 1999 Williams Star Wars Episode I: _(Acquisition: raw_text, Enrichment: v1)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: 0d29effb-41c9-4128-9f4e-fad82a253d0a*
