Pyramid

The Pyramid pinball machine, manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company in August 1939, is an early example of electro-mechanical (EM) pinball design. Designed by Harry Mabs with artwork by Roy Parker, this single-player game reflects the mechanical components and gameplay elements that were becoming staples of the industry in the late 1930s.

Pyramid's gameplay follows a basic EM layout, with no notable theme documented for the game. As was typical for pinball of this era, players navigate the ball around the playfield, interacting with various targets and obstacles to score points.

While the Pyramid lacks a distinctive theme or well-documented art style, its historical significance lies in representing the state of the pinball industry in the late 1930s, a formative period for Gottlieb and the wider industry.
