Aside from being one of a handful of pinball machines themed after an individual athlete, ''Ali'' is memorable for being one of the few Stern pinball games that was actually designed by Creator/WilliamsElectronics' founder Creator/HarryWilliams. Though it was not a standout when first released, ''Ali'' has attracted its fans over time who appreciate its uncluttered gameplay.

Like Muhammad Ali himself, this is a fast, bombastic game that never lets players forget who they're up against. The table is festooned with famous Ali-isms, such as "I am the Greatest", "Three-Time Champ", "Ali Shuffle" and "Rope-a-Dope", all drawn with comic-style pop lettering. The center of the playfield has a portrait of Ali pointing at the player along with a facsimile of his signature, while the backglass features the boxer's face surrounded by his form in the ring. The game also supported the then-new Susan B. Anthony dollar coin, and gave players an extra game for using one.
