Far Out
Gottlieb · 1974 · at 1 UK venue.
Far Out is an early Gottlieb machine with a distinctly 1970s psychedelic and space-age character. The artwork and presentation capture the period’s fascination with futuristic imagery, while the gameplay remains rooted in traditional electromechanical pinball.
The rules are simple, with the player concentrating on targets, lanes and bonus progression.
The real attraction is the atmosphere and mechanical character. Take a trip back to the 1970s and enjoy the physical simplicity of the game.
