Warlords

Warlords is a fantasy-themed Solid State Electronic pinball machine from Astro Games Incorporated, mentioned in a Playmeter trade article dated October 15, 1979, which places its release around that year, though no confirmed manufacture date survives. It's reportedly the second title from Astro Games, and may have shared game ROMs with Bally's 1979 'Star Trek' or Astro Games' own 1979 'Black Sheep Squadron.'

The backglass follows the same score-window, credit, and ball-in-play arrangement used on Bally SS games from 1977 through 1986, reflecting how smaller manufacturers of the era often borrowed layout conventions from the larger companies whose hardware or design language they were adapting.

Specific details about Warlords' playfield features, rules, and artwork are not well documented, but its fantasy theme fits squarely within the era's trend of mythic and adventure-inspired pinball design. As a lesser-known entry from a short-lived manufacturer, it remains primarily of interest to collectors researching Astro Games' small output.
