In 1979, Williams, a former leading pinball manufacturer, released the first pinball table to speak: Gorgar. It marked a major milestone in pinball, and game technology in general.

The premise of the game is that you are a big, burly barbarian (think He-Man) fighting your way into the volcanic lair of a demon named Gorgar who has kidnapped your preposterously proportioned and barely bikinied lover.

To beat Gorgar, you have to hit various targets and spinners, and based on which of these shots you hit, you trigger Gorgar's speech mechanism.

Click any of the silver balls on the playfield image to your left to play and hear Gorgar speak.
