'''''Cactus Canyon''''' is a [[pinball machine]] designed by Tom Kopera and Matt Coriale and produced by Williams Electronics Games (under the ''[[Bally Manufacturing|Bally]]'' brand name). The marketing slogan is "The West has never been this wild!"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pinside.com/pinball/archive/cactus-canyon|title=Cactus Canyon|publisher=}}</ref>

==Description==
Players assume the role of a new Sheriff of Cactus Canyon. The goal is to survive many confrontations with the bad guys, save the [[damsel in distress]] that is tied to the tracks, seek a fortune in a [[gold mine]] and help the citizens during a [[stampede]].<ref name=planet>{{cite web|url=http://www.planetarypinball.com/mm5/Williams/games/cactus/index.html|title=Bally's Cactus Canyon|publisher=}}</ref>

The table include 2 flippers, 2 pop bumpers, 4 popup "bad guy" drop targets.<ref name=ipdb /> The Bart Brother figure moves and taunts players.<ref name=planet />

It is the ''WPC'' machine with the shortest production run as the production stopped to start with the new [[Pinball 2000]] generation.<ref name=ipdb>{{cite web|url=http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=4445|title=Internet Pinball Machine Database: Midway 'Cactus Canyon'|publisher=}}</ref> Although fully playable, the software has never been finished.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pinballrebel.com/game/pins/cactus_canyon/cactus_canyon_pinball.htm|title=Cactus Canyon Pinball By Bally of 1998 at www.pinballrebel.com|publisher=}}</ref> The game uses the [[Digital Compression System|DCS Sound System]].<ref name=planet />

An "extended edition" of the game was later released, with the software now complete and having extra features added to it; this also adds to the number of challenges (i.e., there are now three damsel in distress challenges, not just one).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUBhdCtHi6Y</ref>

==Digital version==
WMS license expiration on June 30, 2018 made ''Cactus Canyon'' no longer available for purchase as a licensed table of ''[[The Pinball Arcade]]'' for any platform.
