Sky Warrior
About This Machine
The Sky Warrior, manufactured by I.D.I. of Italy, is a Solid State Electronic (SS) conversion kit whose exact release date is unconfirmed -- it has been variously listed as 1978 and 1983. It was designed as a conversion kit for several late-1970s solid-state Gottlieb games, running on a Gottlieb System 1 MPU, and shares its playfield design with Gottlieb's 1975 'Fast Draw.'
The gameplay features that make Sky Warrior notable include its two flippers, three pop bumpers, and two banks of five drop targets, along with two kick-out holes that add an extra layer of challenge. Its theme, Outer Space - Fantasy, fits the science-fiction interests common in pinball of that period.
Given the scarcity of confirmed details -- including its manufacture date -- Sky Warrior holds a niche place among collectors interested in Italian conversion kits built on Gottlieb hardware. Further research may help pin down its exact production year and other history.
