Gizmo Game Design was founded in 2016 with the goal to “bring back vintage novelty games with a modern twist”. They decided to create a modern day “pitch and bat” style baseball pinball machine.

According to the Valley Dynamo website, “ALL STAR BASEBALL offers the traditional feel of the ballpark with a perfectly manicured infield and a lush green outfield. The player’s uniforms and positions take us right to the front row of the action. The only things missing are the popcorn and hot dogs. The cabinet art reminds us that baseball is the American pastime with its red, white and blue design. Fans of all ages will flock to the turnstiles to play this game.”
Again according to the Valley Dynamo website, “ZOMBIE LEAGUE ALL STARS brings a new twist to a familiar game designed to capitalize on today’s fascination with Zombies. The game brings fast paced Zombie action with a sense of humor including spooky sounds and music, and thunderous Home Run celebrations. It has the same exciting game play experience as ALL STAR BASEBALL, but these players only come out at night. The highly detailed art includes everything you would expect at Graveyard Park. The more you look, the more you see.”
