Step into vintage pinball action with Big Brave! A 1970s classic with timeless appeal, chimes, and smooth, strategic gameplay.
Travel back to the golden age of arcades with Big Brave Pinball, a timeless electro-mechanical (EM) machine released by Gottlieb in 1974. Revered for its straightforward gameplay, charming artwork, and nostalgic feel, Big Brave delivers a classic pinball experience that captures the spirit of vintage Americana. Whether you’re an experienced player who appreciates the old-school touch or a casual guest enjoying pinball for the first time, this machine is a crowd-pleasing favorite for all types of events.
Themed around Native American imagery, the artwork features hand-drawn illustrations with vibrant reds, oranges, and teals—a style iconic of its time. Its backglass and playfield designs evoke a sense of adventure, with imagery of feathers, arrows, and tribal motifs. Unlike modern digital pinball machines, Big Brave uses mechanical scoring reels and bell chimes, giving each game a warm, retro ambiance that delights the senses.
Big Brave features two classic flippers, drop target banks, pop bumpers, and rollover lanes, offering a balanced level of challenge and reward. The game encourages precision over speed, making ball control and flipper timing essential for long plays and high scores. The rules are simple: hit all the drop targets, activate the bonuses, and rack up points with skillful shots—no screens or modern gimmicks required.
This machine is particularly popular at retro-themed parties, vintage game rooms, weddings with nostalgic flair, and corporate events seeking a unique entertainment piece. The mechanical sounds, flashing bulbs, and rhythmic chimes bring back memories for older guests while introducing a charming, tactile experience to younger players unfamiliar with pre-digital games.
Professionally maintained and fully functional, our Big Brave Pinball rental includes setup and takedown. It’s compact enough for residential parties but impressive enough to serve as a focal point in larger venues. The smooth wood finish and classic Gottlieb design ensure it stands out while blending with vintage or rustic décor.

It brings generations together over a shared love of games that are easy to learn and hard to put down. Add it to your event lineup and enjoy the charm of true old-school pinball.
