The Fonz Pinball
About This Machine
The Fonz Pinball, manufactured by Coleco Industries in 1977, is a home model electro-mechanical (EM) machine licensed from the hit TV show "Happy Days," capitalizing on the popularity of the character Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli. It reflects Coleco's strategy of tying home pinball products to popular television culture in the late 1970s.
Specific gameplay details, rules, and playfield features for The Fonz Pinball have not been documented. As with other Coleco home EM machines of the era, it was likely a single-player, simplified design intended for home use rather than arcade play.
While detailed information on its art, cabinet design, or unique features is not available, The Fonz Pinball remains an interesting example of how manufacturers were experimenting with television and pop-culture licensing in home pinball during this period.
