Party Animal

Party Animal is a pinball machine for Bally by Dennis Nordman, who over a long career designed for Bally, Williams and Stern.^[1] Bally Midway put it on the market in 1987^[2] with a raucous 1980s Party theme and a sound package that broke new ground: it was the first pinball to greet players with the sounds of a belch and a flushing toilet.^[3]
Two translites shipped — a bar version with a plain beer stein and a home version whose stein reads “Dad’s Old Fashioned Root Beer”.^[4]
Bally Midway produced 2,250, and Bally’s German subsidiary Bally Wulff built a licensed European edition, Party Animal.
