UK Machine Record
Surf 'N Safari
Gottlieb · 1991 · at 1 UK venue.
Surf ’N Safari combines two classic holiday fantasies, surfing and an African safari, into one colourful Gottlieb machine. The game jumps between beach and jungle imagery, giving the table a deliberately playful personality.
The objectives are built around the various themed areas and targets, with the player progressing through the game by completing different challenges.
It is bright, uncomplicated and very much of its early-1990s era. Ride the waves, explore the jungle and keep the ball out of trouble.
