Pin*Bot is a pinball game released by Williams in October of 1986, designed by Barry Oursler and Python Anghelo. It is known for its futuristic space music (composed by Chris Granner).

In this pinball game, you tried to make it around the solar system, which always started in Pluto. In order to move from planet to planet, you had to knock down three drop targets in quick succession. Each planet reached gave you a 20,000 point bonus. At the center of the playfield was a 5 by 5 grid. Lighting up the grid caused a visor to lift, revealing the robot's eye sockets. Locking balls in each socket caused the robot to say, "Now I see you," after which a bonus multiball began.

There was a home version released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the 1990s. Pin*Bot will also be playable on Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection.

Pin*Bot was followed by two sequels: The Machine: Bride of Pin*Bot (released in 1991) and Jack*Bot (released in 1995).

  • Pin*Bot appears in the 1988 pinball game, Taxi (created by Anghelo and Mark Ritchie).
  • This was the pinball machine that Tom Hanks had in the movie Big
