''Captain Fantastic'' ([-Full title:-] ''Capt. Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy'') is an [[PhysicalPinballTable arcade pinball machine]] designed by Creator/GregKmiec and produced by [[Creator/MidwayGames Bally]] in 1976. A semi-sequel to Bally's earlier ''Pinball/{{Wizard}}!'', it's named after the chart-topping pop album by Music/EltonJohn, and features John dressed as the Local Lad from the rock opera movie ''Music/{{Tommy}}''. The game's eye-catching artwork, approachable gameplay, and Elton John's popularity made it one of the most produced electromechanical pinball machines ever. Enthusiasts consider it one of the iconic pinballs of the '70s.
