Thunderbirds
Homepin · 2018 · at 1 UK venue.
Thunderbirds brings Gerry Anderson’s international rescue organisation to pinball, with the machines, vehicles and characters from the television series providing the game’s central objectives.
The player works through rescue missions, using the various Thunderbirds vehicles and features to progress through increasingly demanding situations. The theme fits naturally with pinball because every mission gives you something specific to accomplish.
The key is to treat the table as a series of rescues rather than one enormous objective. Choose the emergency, launch the rescue and bring everyone home safely.

No guide to Thunderbirds yet
Guides here are compiled against the machine’s published rules, credited to what they were built from, and dated. That makes them slow: the machines standing on the most UK floors get one first — but anyone who plays this machine can write their own.
No tips for this one yet
Tips come from PinTips, where players write them and vote them up. They’re not ours to author, so a machine has none here until somebody writes one there.
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.
One reviewer's opinion, not a Silverball verdict, and not a guide to playing.
Videos from YouTube, curated from channels we rate. They belong to their creators, who aren’t affiliated with Silverball; links open on YouTube so the view counts for them. A creator who’d rather not be listed can get in touch and we’ll remove it.
