Icarus

The 'Icarus' pinball machine appears to be a relatively obscure entry in early 1980s pinball history, drawing inspiration from the classic Greek mythology tale of Icarus who flew too close to the sun with wax wings. The timing of this machine would place it during the critical transition period when solid-state electronics were becoming the industry standard.

The theme likely incorporated artistic elements of wings, the sun, and classical Greek imagery into its playfield and backglass design. During this era, mythological themes were popular choices for pinball machines as they provided rich visual and narrative material to work with. The early 1980s saw manufacturers experimenting with more complex ruleset possibilities enabled by solid-state technology.

While detailed production numbers and specific gameplay features are not confirmed for this machine, pinball games from this period typically featured multiple pop bumpers, drop targets, and various scoring lanes. The solid-state technology would have allowed for more sophisticated scoring rules and basic sound effects compared to earlier electro-mechanical games.
