Psychedelic

The Psychedelic pinball machine, designed by Ed Krynski with art by Art Stenholm, was manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company in August 1970. Its psychedelic music, singing, and dancing theme taps into the cultural zeitgeist of its time, reflecting the counterculture movement of the era.

Gameplay-wise, Psychedelic boasts two flippers, five pop bumpers, five drop targets, and two standup targets. The machine's layout and feature set make for a challenging single-player game.

The Psychedelic's design and art are notable for their use of bright, bold colors and abstract patterns, creating a visually striking experience that immerses players in its theme. It was released as the single-player Italian version of the two-player 'Crescendo' and four-player 'Groovy,' both also released by Gottlieb in 1970. While little else is known about the machine's specific design inspirations, its distinctive aesthetic has made it a notable addition to any serious collection.
