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!
