Safari

Despite its listing here, Safari is actually not a pinball machine -- it is a Gun Game manufactured by Williams Manufacturing Company, released August 20, 1954 as Model 122, with a Sports/Hunting/Safari theme. It is frequently confused with Williams' related 1954 title 'Safari De Luxe' (Model 121), which added Triple Match and Replay features; the two models shipped to distributors together in the first week of January 1955, which has led some historical lists to mistakenly classify Safari as a conventional pin game.

Because it is a gun game rather than a flipper-and-playfield pinball machine, its gameplay mechanics differ fundamentally from typical pinball titles of the era -- players use a gun mechanism rather than flippers to interact with targets.

Detailed records of Safari's specific artwork, target layout, and scoring mechanics have not been documented here. Its safari-hunting theme fits the broader mid-1950s trend of adventure and exotic-locale theming in coin-operated amusements.
