Jungle

The Jungle pinball machine, manufactured by Williams Electronic Manufacturing Corporation in 1960, is a notable addition to the world of classic electromechanical (EM) games. It features a rotating drum in the playfield that indicates target values, adding an extra layer of strategy to gameplay.

Gameplay on Jungle revolves around hunting and safari themes, with players aiming to knock down animals displayed behind jungle undergrowth using flippers, pop bumpers, slingshots, gobble holes, and a stand-up target. The objective is to light up the "Special" by eliminating all targets, earning maximum point scores of 8,990,000 points. The inclusion of two flippers, five pop bumpers, and other interactive elements makes Jungle an engaging and challenging experience for players.

The Jungle pinball machine's design and art are also noteworthy. Its cabinet features a distinctive "Styling of the 60's" aesthetic, with anodized aluminum trim, tapered tubular chromium steel legs, and a shelf accommodating a cigarette holder -- all part of the new cabinet design Williams introduced on several games during 1960-1961. Jungle remains a fascinating piece of pinball history that continues to captivate enthusiasts with its unique gameplay mechanics and retro charm.
