Cosmos

Cosmos is an electro-mechanical pinball machine produced in 1969 by Renov' Automatic - Jolux of Marcoussis and Paris, France. It is a conversion of Gottlieb's 1962 'Liberty Belle,' reworked with a new astronauts/outer-space theme and artwork by Jean Amiot - a common practice among some European manufacturers of the period who adapted existing American cabinets for their own markets.

Key gameplay features include four flippers, three pop bumpers, two passive bumpers, two slingshots, four roto-targets, and a bullseye target - five targets in total. The extensive use of roto-targets adds an extra layer of depth and strategy to gameplay, and the layout offers a reasonably complex challenge for an EM machine of its era.

Cosmos's outer-space theme and artwork are distinctive examples of late-1960s European pinball design. Notably, at least two surviving examples of this conversion show slight differences from each other in backglass colors, playfield colors, and backbox art, with one example having its passive bumpers replaced by standup targets. Little is documented about the machine's designer or other production details beyond its origin as a Liberty Belle conversion.
