Ricochet

Ricochet is a 1955 electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine designed by Wayne Neyens with artwork by Roy Parker for D. Gottlieb & Company. Numbered Model 99, this four-player version never went into regular production - it exists only as a design that was also developed as a two-player game (Model 101), of which a small number of sample units are known to have been built.

The game's theme centers on archery, riflery, and target practice, an unusual departure from the underworld and adventure themes common on pinball machines of the era. As with other target-shooting themed games of the period, players would have aimed for scoring targets on the playfield to rack up points.

Because Ricochet never reached production, few details survive about its specific gameplay mechanics or artwork beyond its theme and design credits. Its status as an unproduced Gottlieb design makes it a curiosity for collectors and historians interested in games that never made it to market.
