Bally Dungeons & Dragons Pinball — Exceptional Original Survivor with Rare Original Topper

This is a beautiful, exceptionally well-preserved original Bally Dungeons & Dragons pinball machine and a truly special piece for the serious collector.

This game has been refurbished, but has not been restored. It retains its original cabinet artwork and original playfield, along with the original plastics. The cabinet has remarkably little fading for a game of this age, and the playfield presents beautifully. Finding a Dungeons & Dragons in this kind of original condition is uncommon by itself — finding one with the original topper makes it considerably more special.

The topper is an especially desirable and rare component of this game. Many Dungeons & Dragons machines have lost their toppers over the years, making a complete example like this increasingly difficult to find.

The game is fully functional and plays 100%, with LED lighting already installed to improve illumination while retaining the character of the original machine.

Another unusual feature is the original leg set. Dungeons & Dragons used a unique leg configuration, and these original legs are not commonly found with the game today. The back legs are extremely long because this game was a unique cabinet style only used on this, Blackwater and escape from the lost world.  This machine retains its original set.

The manuals are also stamped “PRELIMINARY.” While I cannot definitively say that this identifies the machine as an early production example or prototype, it is an interesting detail that certainly adds to the history and intrigue of this particular game.

This is not a freshly painted or cosmetically recreated machine. It is an authentic original survivor that has been exceptionally well cared for, retaining the things collectors want to see — original artwork, original playfield, original plastics, original legs, and the highly sought-after topper.

A rare game. An unusually complete example. And an exceptional piece of Bally pinball history.
