[[caption-width-right:300:Since you like pinball, here's a pinball game in your pinball game.]]

* Creator/{{Sega}}'s ''Pinball/StarWarsTrilogy'' has the player ride a speeder bike on Endor, dodging trees while running over Stormtroopers. It's the same Video Mode as Sega's (and later Creator/SternPinball's) ''Guns And Roses'' and ''Harley Davidson'' games, down to using the same patterns.

** In "Spittin' Gallery", you must move a plantoon around with the flippers to catch some men's spit.

->'''The Terminator:''' "Video Mode - activated."
-->--''[[Pinball/Terminator2JudgmentDay Terminator 2: Judgment Day]]''

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' pinball has the Doctor escaping the Daleks by jumping over random objects (done by pressing the flipper buttons).

* ''Pinball/IndianaJonesThePinballAdventure'' features three video modes, called "Get the Medallion", "Escape in the Mine Cart", and "Choose Wisely".

* Creator/{{Sega}}'s ''Pinball/StarWarsTrilogy'' has the player ride a speeder bike on Endor, dodging trees while running over Stormtroopers. It's the same Video Mode as Sega's ''Guns And Roses'' pinball (also Sega's/Creator/SternPinball's ''Harley Davidson'' Pinball), and even uses the same patterns.

* ''Pinball/JudgeDredd'' has a variation centered around a [[HotPursuit police chase]] -- the player must stop a swerving, runaway car on the display. This is done with the playfield itself, as shooting the ramps will fire a missile at the car, so good timing is needed to hit it.

The TropeMaker is Williams' ''Pinball/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' pinball, although technically it was not the first pinball game to include a video game; that would be ''Pinball/{{Caveman}}'' by Creator/{{Gottlieb}}.

* As mentioned above, the TropeMaker is ''Pinball/Terminator2JudgmentDay''. Its Video Mode consisted of a simplified LightGunGame, where the player moves an onscreen cursor left or right to fight off advancing Terminator robots and HK drones. The video game is over when either all of the Terminators are defeated, or the player is shot three times.
** Appropriately enough, this is revisited in ''Pinball/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'', where the player uses the flipper buttons to move the crosshairs and pull the launch trigger to shoot.

* ''Pinball/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' has the player perform a shuttle simulation in the holodeck, flying through a series of caverns without colliding. Players could opt to skip the Video Mode entirely, but completing it yields an artifact.

* Available in ''Pinball/TheGetawayHighSpeed2'' after reaching 3rd Gear. Drive your car along a three-lane highway and dodge slow-moving Volkswagens; change gears to go faster and earn more points.

* ''Pinball/StarWarsDataEast'' requires the player to pull the launcher trigger to shoot Stormtroopers ''while the ball is in play.''

[[AC:Pinball]]

* Creator/{{Sega}}'s ''Pinball/StarWarsTrilogy'' has the player ride a speeder bike on Endor, dodging trees while running over Stormtroopers. It's the same Video Mode as Sega's ''Guns And Roses'' pinball, and even uses the same patterns.

* ''Pinball/MedievalMadness'': After spelling out the F-I-R-E rollover eight times, visit Merlin to start Video Mode. A flock of ravens attacks a group of children, and you must move your character left and right to fend them off. There are 30 ravens all together, but beating 20 ravens yields an Extra Ball.

* ''Theater of Magic'' has Video Pinball, available as a random option in the Secret Basement. Yes, a pinball game inside a pinball game.
