About This Machine

Zeke is a 1984 solid-state arcade game from Taito America Corporation, cataloged as "Not A Pinball" rather than a true pinball machine — it is actually a reissue of Taito's own 1983 redemption game Ice Cold Beer, dressed up with a mountain-climbing theme.

Gameplay centers on using a motorized bar to guide a ball up the playfield toward ten numbered target holes, racing to reach the illuminated target before the ball falls away. The machine's solid-state electronics provide the same responsive target-lighting logic as its predecessor.

Details about Zeke's specific artwork and backstory are sparse, but as a rebadged, mountain-themed version of a well-regarded arcade novelty, it remains a curiosity for collectors interested in Taito's lesser-known redemption games from the era.
