Orbitor 1 video review. Classic Game Room reviews the ORBITOR 1 pinball machine from Stern released in 1982. Orbiter 1 was regarded as a massive failure but it should be regarded as a great attempt at something new for pinball, even though it didn't succeed. A bizarre molded piece of plastic makes up the playing field that is formed in the shape of a planet's surface with a convex valley-like form, hills and valleys complete with spinning bumpers that shoot the ball off in erratic ways. Gameplay is never the same twice yet Orbiter 1 has very few objectives or things to actually shoot at. It's a fast game that provides a short thrill but gets old quickly, even though it's really cool for a few games.
