From the press release on April 15, 1979:

The U.S.S. Enterprise has landed on a pinball machine. STAR TREK, the latest four-player electronic release from Bally Manufacturing Corporation is currently in full production says Paul Calamari, Director of Sales for Bally's Pinball Division.

Licensed from Paramount Pictures Corporation, Bally's STAR TREK features all the familiar characters from the long running TV series and incorporates a few new ones from the upcoming Paramount release, "STAR TREK - The Motion Picture." Players of all ages will automatically gravitate towards the bold, colorful, action packed game.

STAR TREK begins with a bonus score of 1000 points. Players may then score from 1,000 to 29,000 bonus points. A "Warp Speed Lane" skill shot with famous memory and recall provides players a chance to enter a time warp and return the ball to plunger for added scoring potential. STAR TREK also features an adjustable "Hyper Space Lane" with an extra ball feature.

STAR TREK'S B-A-L-L-Y feature provides various scoring positions with strobescophic effect. The top two lanes, A & B, side three targets L, L, Y, and top saucer BALLY, spots any letter that is lit. Upon completion of B-A-L-L-Y sequence, letters strobe, sounds pulsate and lit value scores and advances.

Bally's STAR TREK, with its updated STAR TREK graphics, challenging playfield obstacles, terrific tones and tunes, and famous Bally engineering will prove to be an "out of this world" money maker for any location.
