Central Park is a pinball machine that was released by Gottlieb in 1966. The game sold 3,100 units. It was designed by Ed Krynski, with the artwork done by Roy Parker.[1]
Gameplay
Central Park has a large gap between the flippers, causing the ball to drain easily. The goal of the game is to raise a special called the Tree Bonus by collecting numbers. The player can collect numbers by hitting targets at the top of the playfield. Every time 100 points are scored in Central Park, an animated monkey on the backglass will ring a bell. Hitting the 7 and 9 lights up a bumper, earning 10 points instead of the usual 1. The 2 and 4 also lights up a bumper.
Digital versions
Central Park is available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade.[2] The table is defaulted to five ball play, though additional balls may be added. The table also appears in Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection. [3]
