Super Triangle

The Super Triangle, manufactured by Electromaton, Inc. of Hoboken, New Jersey in July 1946, is an electro-mechanical rolldown game housed in a substantial maple cabinet. Period advertising described the cabinet as 2 feet wide, 6 feet long, and 5 feet 5 inches high -- a sizable footprint for a coin-op game of its day.

The game plays with 5 balls per game, a generous ball count for a rolldown-style machine of the era. According to contemporary Billboard coverage, the Super Triangle was first advertised locally in mid-1946 before Electromaton announced national distribution that August, with a period list price of about $469.50 as reported by Coin Machine Digest.

Beyond its physical specifications and market rollout, little else about Super Triangle's specific gameplay mechanics or scoring rules has survived in the historical record, which is common for rolldown games of this period.
