    it was a pin where you went to each planet in the solar system then I think end up at the sun
    it was older maybe late 70's or early 80's
    it was a very cool game

    A friend asked me this question last night and pinbot was my first thought, but he says no.

    Thanks t_p_f - I have fond memories of playing Galaxy as a teenager.

    My review for this game on Pinside:

    “Another game I used to love playing when it first came out. The slingshots on this one are located higher up than usual on the sides of the playfield, which makes for interesting gameplay at times. Some very good games can be had on this one for a early 1980's machine that has no ramps or any multiball. Interesting artwork on the playfield as well. The sounds for an early SS machine are good, and it flashes the GI at times, I think this was a first in pinball on this game. Knock the side targets down to advance through the solar system, complete GALAXY through the lanes for extra balls and replays. Good use of a spinner too in this excellent game.”
