Rock _N Roll

Rock _N Roll was a classic electro-mechanical pinball machine released by Gottlieb during the height of the 1960s rock music explosion. The machine captured the spirit of the era with artwork and theming that celebrated the burgeoning rock and roll culture that was transforming popular music and youth culture.

The machine featured traditional EM gameplay elements including pop bumpers, drop targets, and kick-out holes typical of the late 1960s era. The playfield layout was designed to create flowing shot sequences while the art package incorporated musical imagery including guitars, amplifiers, and rock band imagery that resonated with players of the period.

As one of several music-themed machines from this golden age of electro-mechanical pinball, Rock _N Roll represented Gottlieb's recognition of changing cultural trends and their effort to appeal to a younger audience. The machine helped establish music themes as a major category in pinball design, paving the way for countless rock-themed games that would follow in later decades.

While production numbers are not definitively known, Rock _N Roll is considered a relatively rare machine today, with surviving examples being sought after by collectors who appreciate both its historical significance and its representation of late 1960s pinball design aesthetics.
