Sea Wolf

The Sea Wolf, designed by Harry Mabs with artwork by George Molentin, was manufactured by Williams in July 1959. It's a single-player EM machine built around an adventure theme of submarines, ships, and aircraft, and it features four flippers along with three jet bumpers, two passive bumpers, two slingshots, ten standup targets, three kick-out holes, and a gobble hole.

One of the most distinctive features of the Sea Wolf is its disappearing jet bumper, which adds an element of surprise and challenge to the game. The backglass light animation of a submarine rising and falling in sync with the jet bumper creates a captivating visual effect that immerses players in the underwater adventure theme. Interestingly, Williams' promotional flyer touted the disappearing bumper as an entirely new idea, even though the company had used the same mechanism the year before on its 1958 game Gusher.

The Sea Wolf's design and artwork are characteristic of late-1950s pinball, with bold colors and stylized graphics evoking a sense of adventure. With its four flippers and array of targets and holes, it remains a sought-after machine among collectors and enthusiasts interested in Williams' late-EM-era output.
