Lawlor put everything possible in the game and most pinball players consider to be the most complicated pinball game ever built.
In fact route operators tended to dislike the game due to the sheer number of parts that could break.
It did however earn very well on location.
Music from the original TV show is in the game as is remix of the 1982 song "Twilight Zone", by Golden Earring.

Lost in the Zone (6-ball) — The game's final mode also known today as a wizard mode,
given to a player who has successfully lit all
of the door panels. Often it is referred at LITZ which is short for Lost in the Zone
The player has 45 seconds to hit as many targets as possible - all single-ball modes are lit during LITZ,
and balls are placed back into play when they drain. When time runs out, the flippers shut off and all balls drain.
The total score made during LITZ is added while the Gumball Machine machine is refilled. Gameplay then starts over.
