The Addams Family pinball machine is a 4-player game containing a lock-ball / multi-ball feature was released by Bally in 1992.

 

 

Some new pinball machine concepts were introduced in The Addams Family pinball machine with a game-controlled mini-flipper known as the "Thing Flips" flipper. Another feature of the game was that up in the upper right part of the playfield "Thing" would emerge from his box to magnetically pick up the ball and take it below the playfield.

 

The game also contained the first ever optical target bank which was located in the bookcase. The bookcase would rotate to reveal a lock hole when the word GREED is spelled out. When three balls are locked they are all released and all kinds of Jackpots become available. Train Wreck, Double Jackpot and Super Jackpot.
