A target-shooting classic... 2001!
1971 Gottlieb


A classic Gottlieb wedgehead... 2001!  This game was produced in 1971 by Gottlieb, creator of the most popular mechanical pinball machines on the planet!  The most requested and collectable electro-mechanical pinball machines are the classic Gottlieb "wedge-head" style from the 60's and 70's.  Even more desirable of the "wedge-head" series of games are those that present everyone's favorite playfield feature... the drop-target!  This game has TWENTY of them!  Those banks of targets just scream at the player...  "HEY BUDDY!  KNOCK US ALL DOWN!"  2001 is considered to be one of the greatest drop-target games ever created, especially of the "shorty" flipper games.  This game was created when Gottlieb was the king of the arcades, bowling alleys and corner stores.  No one could hold a candle to a Gottlieb mechanical pinball machine as they were simply the king of the hill!  2001 is generally close to the top of any mechanical pinball machine collectors favorite game lists.  Anyone that played pinball machines in the 70's has usually seen and played one of these classic Gottlieb drop-target games and they are our most requested mechanical games.

You'll love the old-fashioned chime box sounds that take you back to a simpler time in all of our lives.  A time when pinball was the king of the arcade and boardwalk.  A time before those confounded electronic games came about!  This game has many of the classic features that made Gottlieb great.  Everyone's favorite feature on this game are the huge banks of drop targets that line the sides of the playfield.  The targets are not only used to score immediate points, but when all of the same-color targets in a set are completed, the corresponding rollovers and kickout holes become worth exponentially more points!  Drop all 20 targets during a round and the playfield will light up FIVE different SPECIALS!  There's more... the dual pop-bumpers at the top will alternate between 100 points and 10 points as you play!  There are also FOUR slingshot kickers on the game with one set above the center targets and another near the flippers!  All of the classic elements... the pop-bumpers, slingshots, rollovers, drop-targets and kickout holes give this playfield a classic playing and vintage feel that will keep you entertained and challenged for hours at a time. Most pinball enthusiasts agree that Gottlieb made the best playing single-level playfield designs and this game is one of the very best. The classic and family-friendly theme goes great in any home gameroom!
