Cleopatra

Cleopatra, produced by Mondialmatic of Florence, Italy in 1979, is an electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine and a conversion kit built for Gottlieb's 1972 'Play Pool'. Its backglass is similar to Gottlieb's own 1977 'Cleopatra', though this Italian version depicts the figure of Cleopatra topless, and the backglass reads "Ball In Play" rather than "Balls To Play," suggesting the game is not an add-a-ball model.

The gameplay features two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, three standup targets, two banks of 7-bank drop targets, and two star rollovers, housed in a wedge-head backbox. The combination of two full 7-bank drop target banks is a notable feature, allowing for extended shot sequences typical of EM games of this era.

The backglass carries the artist's signature at bottom center, crediting Michele "Mike" Martinelli. The historical-characters theme, centered on Cleopatra, was a popular subject for pinball art of the period and gives the machine a distinctive visual identity among Mondialmatic's small run of Italian EM conversion kits.
