Rock On
About This Machine
Rock On, manufactured by Allied Leisure Industries in 1975, is a notable example of early solid-state electronic (SS) pinball machines. As one of the first games from this Florida-based company, Rock On's existence marks an important milestone in the evolution of pinball technology and design during the mid-1970s. Although its designer remains unknown, the game's theme of music, singing, and dancing was a common trend in popular culture at the time.
Key gameplay features on Rock On include two flippers, one pop bumper, and two slingshots, which were characteristic elements of solid-state pinball machines from this era. The presence of eight stand-up targets and four solitary drop targets adds to the challenge and variety of gameplay. Moreover, the left and right outlane detour gates provide an interesting twist on traditional pinball design.
The machine's art and theme are a nostalgic reflection of 1970s music culture, featuring colorful graphics and possibly even some iconic musical references. Unfortunately, no specific details about its artwork or design elements have been uncovered through research, leaving this aspect open to interpretation. As one of the lesser-documented Allied Leisure machines, Rock On presents an intriguing opportunity for enthusiasts to study and appreciate its place in pinball history.
