Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
Stern · 2003 · at 2 UK venues.
Terminator 3 brings the war between humans and machines to Stern pinball, with the T-850 and T-X providing the central conflict.
The game uses weapons, battles and scenes from the film as the framework for its objectives. The player works through missions while dealing with the relentless threat of the machines.
The theme naturally suits fast pinball, with the game constantly pushing the player towards the next confrontation. Protect John Connor, destroy the machines and remember: the future isn’t going to save itself.

Shoot the drop target center lane to light lock. Same shot to lock 3 balls for MB. Same shot for jackpots. Super jackpot after 3 jackpots.

Alternate left and right ramp shots 5 times each to start Payback Time for 30s. All ramps and both loops are lit for 1M.
- General
Especially if the drop target is up, the lane shot has a dangerous return. It's safer from left flipper. Payback time is a safer mode.

No tutorials for this machine
We only list videos from a short list of channels we rate, and we never run a search to fill the gap — so most machines have none here rather than a page of whatever YouTube would have returned.
