Seven Seas

Seven Seas was a nautical-themed electro-mechanical pinball machine released by D. Gottlieb & Co. during the golden age of EM pinball. The machine captured the romantic era of maritime exploration and pirate adventures, a popular theme that resonated with players during this period.

The playfield design featured classic nautical elements including ships, compasses, and maritime imagery that was characteristic of Gottlieb's artistic style of the early 1970s. As an electro-mechanical machine, it utilized relay-based scoring and chime units to create the distinctive sounds that defined this era of pinball. The gameplay focused on hitting various targets and drop targets that represented different aspects of seafaring adventure.

While not one of Gottlieb's most famous titles, Seven Seas represented the company's commitment to creating themed entertainment during a crucial period in pinball history. It was produced during the final decade of electro-mechanical pinball machines, before the industry's transition to solid-state electronics would forever change the landscape of pinball design.
