Jungle Princess
About This Machine
The Jungle Princess is a testament to the early days of modern pinball design. As one of the many iconic machines produced by Gottlieb in the late 1970s, it showcases the company's commitment to innovation and creativity during this pivotal period in pinball history. Released in 1977, the Jungle Princess was designed by Ed Krynski, a renowned designer who would go on to create some of the most beloved games of all time.
What sets Jungle Princess apart from its contemporaries is its unique blend of fantasy theme and engaging gameplay. Players can enjoy either 3-ball or 5-ball play, adding an extra layer of complexity and strategy to the game. The machine features four flippers, three pop bumpers, two kick-out holes, and a pair of 5-bank drop targets, providing ample opportunities for players to rack up points. A notable aspect of Jungle Princess is its end-of-ball bonus feature, which rewards skilled players with additional points.
The artwork on the Jungle Princess is equally impressive, featuring a stunning illustration of a jungle princess surrounded by exotic flora and fauna. The design is characteristic of Gottlieb's signature style during this era, blending vibrant colors with intricate details to create an immersive experience for players. Unfortunately, little is known about the machine beyond its technical specifications, but its significance in pinball history and unique gameplay features make it a must-play for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
