Victory is a 1987 Gottlieb Premier pinball machine that was John Borg's first game design assignment. The table features vitagraph color playfield technology and a countdown bonus mechanic designed by John Norris, with a goal-oriented design based on 1-7 checkpoints. Despite some recognition for decent layout and 'just one more game' appeal, Victory is frequently criticized for poor rules structure, repetitive 'hurry up' mechanics, and weak software design compared to contemporary titles.
