Here’s another game Pinball Shark has brought back from the dead. Dropped off in pieces, it took a bit of work to resurrect this baby, but it was worth it. Time Machine is nostalgic of not only the 80’s (it was released in 1988), but also the 70’s, 60’s and 50’s as you travel back in time throughout the game with different sound bites, music and chimes. Time Machine has quickly become one of my favorite System 11 games next to Fun House, Pinbot and Transporter. Check out the video and pics below.
