Machine Description
Released in January 1967, Beatniks is a two-player electro-mechanical pinball machine produced by Chicago Coin Machine Manufacturing Company. Designed by Christian Marche, the game features a vibrant and colorful design, reflecting the cultural aesthetics of the 1960s. It includes four flippers, four pop bumpers, two slingshots, and two rollunders, offering a dynamic and engaging gameplay experience.
The game is notable for its "kick-up" feature, where extra balls are kicked back onto the playfield from the outhole, a characteristic of the Italian export version. This feature adds an element of excitement and replayability to the game.
