A little history on Allied Leisure

Allied Leisure was an arcade and pinball manufacturer founded in the late 1960s, originally based in Hialeah, Florida. The company started by producing electro-mechanical arcade games and quickly expanded into pinball and video games as the amusement industry evolved. In its early years, Allied Leisure was known for making cost-effective and innovative pinball machines, often using simpler designs to appeal to operators looking for affordable and reliable games. One of its first notable pinball titles was Thunderbolt (1974), followed by others like Dyn-O-Mite and Roy Clark: The Entertainer.

In the mid-1970s, as the arcade boom accelerated, Allied Leisure ventured into solid-state pinball machines, but reliability issues plagued some of their releases. The company rebranded as Century Electronics in the early 1980s, shifting its focus primarily to video arcade games. Despite some success in that market, increasing competition from industry giants like Bally, Williams, and Atari made it difficult for the company to sustain long-term growth. Allied Leisure/Century Electronics eventually faded from the industry, but its contribution to the early days of arcade and pinball remains a part of gaming history.
