Support Our WorkIce-Revue, released by D. Gottlieb & Co. in the mid-1960s, captured the elegance and spectacle of ice skating shows that were immensely popular during that era. The machine's theme capitalized on the public's fascination with ice skating entertainment, which had been popularized by touring shows like Ice Capades and Holiday on Ice.
The pinball machine featured classic electro-mechanical components typical of its era, with a playfield design that likely incorporated skating-themed artwork and targets. The gameplay would have included the standard mechanical features of the period: pop bumpers, kickout holes, and scoring lanes, all themed to represent an ice skating performance. The machine's art package presumably depicted figure skaters in elaborate costumes, capturing the glamour and movement of ice show performances.
As one of many themed pinball machines from the golden age of electro-mechanical pinball, Ice-Revue represented Gottlieb's commitment to creating engaging entertainment that connected with popular culture of the time. While not one of Gottlieb's most famous titles, it serves as an interesting snapshot of mid-1960s entertainment preferences, when ice skating shows were a significant part of American popular culture.
