Hyperball is a 1981 rolling ball arcade machine designed by Steve Ritchie and released by Williams. While it uses a pinball cabinet and some components found in a pinball machine it is not generally considered a pinball machine. The gameplay is similar to arcade video games, with elements of it inspired by Space Invaders and other video games. On release, trade journals and others struggled to categorize it.
