Support Our Work"Kings" was a classic electro-mechanical pinball machine produced by D. Gottlieb & Co. during the golden age of mechanical pinball in the late 1950s. The machine embodied the era's fascination with royalty and medieval themes, which were popular in post-war American entertainment.
The game featured traditional mechanical scoring, bells, and chimes characteristic of the electro-mechanical era. Its playfield likely included standard elements of the period such as pop bumpers, kick-out holes, and scoring lanes. The artwork would have featured regal imagery including crowns, scepters, and playing card royalty figures, following the artistic styles typical of 1950s pinball decoration.
While not necessarily a groundbreaking title in pinball history, "Kings" represents an important piece of the mechanical pinball era, when games were purely analog experiences driven by relays, switches, and solenoids. These machines helped establish many of the fundamental pinball gameplay mechanics that would continue through to the modern era.
