That’s a marvel not just because other “hit” games at the time were selling between 8,000 and 14,000 units, but because back then most pinball games were being sold to coin-op distributors or arcades rather than private collectors.

The flippers would 'flip' when the machine idled, while the machine was idle it would play the Addam's Family theme, and during the parts where finger snapping would occur, the flippers would activate in sync. This automated flipper was used successfully to lure players in by generating interest. A computer-controlled flipper which activates after a certain sequence of shots is made, called the Thing Flipper, after the disembodied hand.Sound bytes by Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia, who played Morticia and Gomez in the movie.Released by Bally in 1992, The Addams Family pinball machine has enjoyed record sales.
