Here's a 1967 King of Diamonds pinball machine that has been freshly resurrected from years of dormancy.
This game is a collectible and sought-after title and is generally considered a classic example of Gottlieb ingenuity.
King of Diamonds has that excellent combination of easy-to-understand-but-very-challenging rules, rewarding gameplay and excellent artwork.
Spotting numbers 2 through 9 lights the rollovers alternately for special. Hitting 2 through Ace scores a special and lights the 10 through Ace in a roving fashin for continuous specials. The roto unit in the middle of the playfield and the backbox card animation make for some pretty neat visuals during gameplay.
This machine was designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Art Stenholm.
