Pleasure Isle

Pleasure Isle, released by D. Gottlieb & Co. in the mid-1960s, represents a classic example of the beach/tropical paradise theme that was popular during the optimistic post-war era. The machine captured the public's fascination with exotic vacation destinations and leisure culture that defined much of American entertainment during this period.

The playfield design likely featured tropical imagery including palm trees, beach scenes, and island motifs - common elements for pinball machines of this era. As an electro-mechanical machine, it would have utilized the traditional scoring mechanisms of the time, including mechanical relays, stepper units, and chime units for sound effects. The gameplay would have focused on hitting various targets and rollover switches to advance scores and light features.

Like many Gottlieb machines of this period, Pleasure Isle would have been manufactured at their Chicago facility, representing the company's strong position in the coin-operated amusement industry during the 1960s. Gottlieb was known for their reliable mechanisms and quality construction, making their machines popular choices for operators. While not among Gottlieb's most famous titles, Pleasure Isle reflects the era's design aesthetics and mechanical engineering capabilities.
