Zoser

The Giuliano Lodola-manufactured Zoser is a rare piece of pinball history, produced in Italy in 1981 by a manufacturer active from 1978 to 1981. This Solid State Electronic (SS) machine stands out as one of the lesser-known examples of early European pinball production, similar to Williams' 1981 'Pharaoh'. Its name refers to Zoser (Djoser), a Pharaoh of Egypt's 3rd Dynasty who commissioned the first pyramid, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, still the world's oldest standing stone monument.

No specific theme or notable features are documented for this machine beyond its use of solid-state electronics, a relatively new technology at the time of its 1981 release.

Despite its lack of fame among pinball enthusiasts, Zoser is an interesting piece of the hobby's history due to its rarity and connection to early European production, and its Egyptian-pharaoh naming echoing its contemporary, Williams' Pharaoh.
