Apple Time is an Italian pinball manufacturer best known for the 1987 solid-state title Thunder Man, an adventure-themed cabinet that borrows heavily from contemporary designs and the Gottlieb Bounty Hunter layout while showcasing bold Italian artwork and styling. Thunder Man was released in March 1987 on Zaccaria Generation 2 hardware with an alphanumeric display, three flippers and an estimated production run of roughly 500 units, details documented in historic pinball databases and collector records. Today Apple Time machines like Thunder Man are regarded as rare, sought-after vintage pinball machines among collectors and enthusiasts for their distinctive Michele Martinelli artwork and their place in the 1980s Italian pinball scene.
