Oasis

The Oasis pinball machine, produced by Exhibit Supply Company (ESCO), was released in October 1950. It is a single-player electromechanical (EM) game built around a cheerful theme of happiness, a lighter departure from the crime and adventure themes common in the era.

The machine's key features include two flippers, four pop bumpers, six passive bumpers, and four kick-out holes that redirect the ball around the playfield, plus a rollover button that adds a scoring opportunity as the ball passes over it. Perhaps most notable is the outhole's separate kick-back lane, which awards 250,000 points and can light a Special. The maximum displayed score on the backglass is 8,990,000 points.

Little is documented about the Oasis's designer or specific inspirations, but its combination of scoring features suggests ESCO aimed to create an engaging, feature-rich single-player experience typical of the early flipper era.
