Atlanticus
About This Machine
The Atlanticus, manufactured by T.H. Bergmann & Company in April 1960, is a single-player electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine offering a rich feature set for its era. With four flippers, four pop bumpers, two passive bumpers, two slingshots, and five standup targets, Atlanticus offers a comparatively elaborate and challenging experience for a European EM game of its time.
What sets Atlanticus apart from many of Bergmann's other releases is its use of four flippers rather than the more common two, allowing for more complex gameplay and increased player interaction. The addition of passive bumpers and slingshots adds variety to the gameplay experience, while the standup targets provide an added challenge for players.
Due to limited available information, the exact designer or theme behind Atlanticus cannot be confirmed. Despite its age, Atlanticus remains an intriguing piece of pinball history, notable for its relatively feature-rich flipper layout among Bergmann's catalog.
