Viking

The Viking pinball machine, manufactured by Playmatic of Barcelona, Spain in 1970, is a classic example of electro-mechanical (EM) pinball design from that era, built around a Norse-history theme.

Key gameplay features include two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, four rollover buttons, and three standup targets. The machine also boasts a horseshoe lane feature, adding an extra layer of challenge to the game. Players can choose between 3 or 5 ball play, increasing replay value, and the wedge head design adds a touch of elegance to the machine's overall aesthetic.

The Viking's historical theme, inspired by Norse mythology, sets it apart from other pinball machines of its time. The inclusion of cigarette holders on each side rail is a subtle nod to the era in which it was created. Specific details about the designer are unavailable, but for enthusiasts and historians alike, the Viking remains an interesting example of early-1970s Spanish pinball design.
