Cyclone is a pinball machine released by Williams Electronics in 1988. It features an amusement park theme and was advertised with the slogan "It'll blow you away!".[1] The game should not be confused with the Gottlieb pinball machine Cyclone from 1951.[2]
Description
Cyclone was the 2nd machine from Williams after Comet depicting the Coney Island amusement park. The game has no multiball which is not typical for its era.[3] The next sequel was Hurricane in 1991.[4]
A revolving mystery wheel is placed in the backbox - ranging from Zilch to 200k, Extra Ball, and Special.[5] A ferris wheel one on the playfield carries the ball for a portion of its rotation.[1]
The playfield features bommerang, comet, spookhouse, and cyclone shots. Images on the moving ferris wheel depict a young couple kiss as it turns. The art on the side of the backbox features an asian type dragon and on the side of cabinet a carnival type design.[6]
Digital versions
Cyclone is available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade.
