Super Star

Super Star was one of Gottlieb's notable electro-mechanical pinball machines from the mid-1970s, released during a pivotal period when pinball was reaching peak popularity in arcades and entertainment venues. The machine embodied the classic aesthetic of the era with its distinctive backglass artwork featuring cosmic and stellar themes, which were particularly resonant during the Space Age period of American culture.

The gameplay incorporated traditional electro-mechanical features including pop bumpers, drop targets, and rollover lanes typical of the era. The machine likely featured a standard three or four-digit electro-mechanical score reel system, with gameplay focused on hitting specific target combinations to advance bonus multipliers and achieve high scores. Like many Gottlieb games of this period, it would have emphasized smooth ball handling and precise shot-making rather than complex rule sets.

While not necessarily one of Gottlieb's most groundbreaking titles, Super Star represented the solid engineering and reliability that made Gottlieb a leading manufacturer during the electro-mechanical era. The cosmic theme and straightforward gameplay would have made it a recognizable fixture in arcades and bowling alleys of the mid-1970s, though specific production numbers are not readily verified.
