F-14 Tomcat is a pinball machine designed by Steve Ritchie and released by Williams Electronics in 1987. It features an F-14 Tomcat theme and was advertised with the slogan "It's fast. It's furious. AND IT FIGHTS BACK!".[1]

Description

Players assume the role of a Navy pilot nicknamed Hitman with the goal to destroy the evil Russian General Yagov and his fleet.

F-14 Tomcat has a very fast gameplay. Nevertheless, players can achieve very long ball times because there are no drain on a near miss shots except hitting the center targets dead on.[2]

The game was the first pinball machine with an Autosave feature that gave the ball back into game if the ball got drained right at the start.[1]

The pinball machine features four flippers, multiple ramps, a four-ball Multiball mode and three flashing, rotating red, blue, and white beacons on top of the backbox that depicts a dogfight scene.[3][4]

F-14 Tomcat was available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade. This table is no longer possible to purchase for any platform after WMS license expiration on June 30, 2018. F-14 Tomcat was also included in the arcade game UltraPin.
