Satin Doll

The Satin Doll, designed by Norm Clark with art by Christian Marche, was released by Williams Electronics in March 1975 -- one of the later electro-mechanical machines built before Williams' full transition to solid-state, and notable for its music/singing theme, evoking the lounge and jazz standard of the same name.

The gameplay is generous by EM standards: four flippers, two pop bumpers, one slingshot, fifteen rollover buttons, and nine standup targets, with an end-of-ball bonus rewarding accumulated play. Its sound package of three chimes and a knocker gave it a distinctive audio signature for the period. Williams also produced a related four-player game the same year, 'Pat Hand,' which shared a similar playfield layout and artwork but used three flippers instead of four.

Roughly 2,400 units of Satin Doll were produced. Specific details of its artwork's color palette are not documented, though its music theme and Marche's artwork made it a stylish EM release in Williams' late-EM catalog.
