King Kool

King Kool, designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Gordon Morison, was released by Gottlieb in June 1972. This two-player electro-mechanical (EM) machine showcases the solid design and craftsmanship typical of Gottlieb's engineering during this era, several years before the industry's eventual shift to solid-state technology.

King Kool boasts an impressive array of gameplay features, including four flippers, three pop bumpers, two spinning targets, and five standup targets. The right outlane ball return gate adds a level of complexity to the game, requiring players to think strategically about their shots. Additionally, the end-of-ball bonus and maximum displayable point score of 99,990 points per player provide an exciting challenge for players looking to maximize their scores.

The machine's theme is centered around happiness and music, with colorful artwork depicting a lively party atmosphere. With 3,325 units confirmed produced, King Kool remains a solidly represented piece of early-1970s Gottlieb history for collectors and enthusiasts.
