Dreadnought
About This Machine
Dreadnought is a little-documented tabletop/counter game from British manufacturer Midlands, designed for single-player use. As a counter game rather than a full-size cabinet machine, it would have been played on a countertop or tabletop surface, a compact format commonly used by smaller manufacturers in venues with limited floor space, such as shops and pubs.
Beyond its manufacturer and format, few specific details survive about Dreadnought's gameplay, scoring, artwork, or year of manufacture. As with many tabletop games from smaller European makers, documentation is sparse compared to full-size machines from larger American manufacturers.
Dreadnought remains an intriguing but poorly documented piece of pinball history, and any additional information about its design or era would help fill in the gaps in the historical record.
