Space Walk

Space Walk, designed by Ed Krynski for D. Gottlieb & Company with artwork by Gordon Morison, was released in March 1979. It holds a notable place in pinball history as the last electro-mechanical (EM) game manufactured by Gottlieb, marking the end of an era for the company. Its playfield design was also reused for a four-player solid-state version released the same year, 'Count-Down.'

The two-player game features four flippers, one pop bumper, four banks of drop targets (four each), two star rollovers, and a kick-out hole, along with a mini-post below the flipper gap. Notably, it has no slingshots. Players work toward an end-of-ball bonus and a maximum displayed score of 199,990 points per player, with sound provided by three chimes and a knocker.

Visually, Space Walk reflects the science fiction and space fantasy themes popular in the late 1970s, with artwork by Gordon Morison. Only 217 confirmed units were produced, making this a scarce piece for collectors, particularly given its significance as the final EM machine in Gottlieb's lineup.
