Frisco Fair
About This Machine
Frisco Fair is a French conversion of Gottlieb's 1969 'Wild Wild West,' reusing that machine's original instruction card while presenting new carnival/fair-themed artwork and branding. Its converting manufacturer is unknown, and details about when and by whom the conversion was made remain scarce.
Built on the Wild Wild West's electro-mechanical hardware, Frisco Fair carries over that machine's gameplay: two flippers, four pop bumpers, two passive bumpers, two kick-out holes, a vari-target, and a standup target, offering a lively mix of shots typical of Gottlieb's late-1960s design.
The Frisco Fair's carnival theme gives it a distinctive look apart from its Wild Wild West original, evoking the joy and spectacle of a classic fair. While more research is needed to uncover who converted this machine and why, it remains an interesting example of the French conversion scene that repurposed American EM hardware with new regional branding.
