Support Our WorkKings of Steel is a relatively obscure pinball machine that appears to have been produced during the mid-1980s, a period when pinball manufacturers were fully embracing solid-state electronics and innovative playfield designs. The machine's theme seems to revolve around medieval knights and armor, a popular motif during this era of arcade gaming.
The title and theme would have capitalized on the surge of sword-and-sorcery entertainment in the 1980s, following successful franchises like Conan the Barbarian and other fantasy properties. While specific gameplay details are limited, machines from this era typically featured multiple ramps, drop targets, and various scoring mechanisms that would have been controlled by solid-state electronics.
Due to limited historical documentation and the relative obscurity of this title, production numbers and market performance are unclear. The early-to-mid 1980s represented a challenging period for the pinball industry as video games were dominating the arcade market, which may have impacted this machine's commercial success and availability today.
