Cyclone is a classic pinball game that has become a reference point in the pinball community for its innovative mechanical design, particularly its Ferris wheel and underplayfield ball lock features. The game is frequently cited by modern designers as inspiration for contemporary machines, and its aesthetic and design philosophy continue to influence titles from the 1980s-90s era onward. Cyclone also holds cultural significance in pinball restoration circles, having been the subject of detailed cabinet restoration work involving hand silk-screening techniques.
