Register

The Register, manufactured by Gottlieb in October 1956 and designed by Wayne Neyens with art by Roy Parker, is a four-player electro-mechanical pinball machine from late in the EM era. By this point pinball design was quite mature, with flippers, bumpers, and scoring systems well established.

Notable among its features are four pop bumpers and six passive bumpers, which allowed players to accumulate points by hitting targets with varying point values. The inclusion of two flippers and two slingshots further increased player control, while two bullseye targets and two gobble holes added scoring variety. The machine's replay wheel could award replays up to a maximum setting of 26, and the maximum displayed score per player was 1,999 points.

The machine's design and art are characteristic of Gottlieb's signature style from this period, with clean lines, simple graphics, and an emphasis on functional playability. The backglass carries Gottlieb's well-known slogan, 'Amusement Pinballs, as American as Baseball and Hot Dogs!' While no specific theme is documented for this title, its design and credited creators make it a solid representative of mid-1950s Gottlieb output.
