8 | As the name indicates, this table is based on the popular [[TheSeventies seventies]] [[Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan television show]] starring Lee Majors. It is a quintessential example of early solid-state pinball -- shoot the top saucer to advance the bonus multiplier and light the outlanes for a Special, and complete the five-bank drop targets to increase the awards. Complete the Bionic Power Awards for a 50,000 point bonus and to open the ball-save gate, then make yourself invincible by hitting the center stand-up target to raise the up-post between the flippers, blocking (almost) every exit on the field. |

10 | ''The Six Million Dollar Man'' is notable for being the first solid-state pin to support up to six players, and the only six-player game from Bally. Aside from that, it's a respectable game from pinball's golden age, with solid albeit unremarkable gameplay and a good balance of things to shoot for. Over 10,000 units were made, and it is still in fairly high demand by collectors looking for some nostalgic fun. |
