Flying Chariots

Flying Chariots is a vintage electro-mechanical pinball machine from November 1963, designed by Wayne Neyens and manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company. This historical-themed two-player game enjoyed a strong confirmed production run of 3,410 units, and its layout allows for a high level of player interaction and strategic play.

Key gameplay features include two flippers, four pop bumpers, five passive bumpers, two slingshots, three targets, and left and right dual outlanes. The Target Alley is particularly notable: this long center lane carries variable values for the center target, including a mystery score value ranging from 50 to 300 points, adding an element of unpredictability to gameplay. Players compete for the highest score, with a maximum display of 1,999 points per player, and the replay wheel maximum is 15. Sound comes from a single bell and a knocker.

The artwork and design of Flying Chariots are a nostalgic representation of mid-1960s pinball. Roy Parker's theme is centered around chariots of the ancient world, complete with ornate artwork and detailed graphics. With its mystery-value Target Alley and retro charm, Flying Chariots is a fascinating piece of pinball history that will captivate collectors and enthusiasts alike.
