Big Game is a classic pinball machine with dual origins in the historical record. It was released by Stern in March 1980 as a wide-body solid-state game designed by Harry Williams, featuring grid-based bingo-card rules and four flippers. A separate vintage electromechanical version was acquired by Ron at a South Dayton, Ohio farmhouse auction for $1,000 and is available at the Wedgehead venue, where it serves as a reference baseline machine despite requiring rubber replacement and maintenance.
