Terminator® 3: Rise of the Machines™
Designed by Steve Ritchie, formerly of Williams, T3™ combines all the intensity of this non-stop action movie with pinball at its fastest and most daring.
Steve Ritchie is one of the great pinball designers of the modern pinball era. He has created such famous titles as Black Knight, Star Trek: The Next Generation™, Firepower, and High Speed. TERMINATOR® 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES™ is Steve’s first pinball design in seven years.
The TERMINATOR® 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES™ pinball offers non-stop action features, including a Rocket Propelled Grenade launcher in the backglass. This interactive mechanism fires balls into targets for high score and progressive game play. An interactive backglass mechanism has not been featured in a pinball machine for many years, and Steve has responded to operator and player requests to have one.

In the movie TERMINATOR® 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES™, a decade has passed since John Connor (played by Nick Stahl) helped prevent Judgment Day and save mankind from mass destruction. Now 22, Connor lives ‘off the grid’, with no home, no credit cards, and no cell phone. There is no way he can be traced by Skynet, the highly developed network of machines that once tried to kill him and wage war on humanity. That is until out of the shadows of the future steps the T-X™, a Terminatrix® (Kistanna Loken), Skynet’s most sophisticated cyborg killing machine. With incredibly advanced powers and beauty to match, she is the ultimate threat to humanity. Now Connor’s only hope for survival is the Terminator® (Arnold Schwarzenegger). Together, they must triumph over the technologically superior T-X™ and forestall the looming threat of Judgment Day…or face the apocalypse and the fall of civilization.
