Gottlieb’s Roller Disco, released in 1980 and designed by Ed Krynski, is a glittering time capsule of its moment — a roller-skating, disco-dancing celebration that captures the tail end of the 1970s craze in pinball form. With four flippers, twin five-bank drop targets, and a trio of standup targets, it’s a clean, fast Gottlieb machine wrapped in irresistibly groovy theming.

The gameplay is straightforward and built around solid fundamentals. A skill shot rewards hitting the flashing upper lane for a tidy 10,000 points, giving each ball a satisfying opening goal, while the twin drop-target banks anchor the scoring with the methodical, knock-’em-down rhythm that defines the era’s best Gottlieb tables. In three-ball play the A and D lanes are linked, a small wrinkle that rewards a player paying attention to the layout’s logic.

Bright, breezy, and dripping with disco-ball charm, Roller Disco is a fun and unabashedly of-its-time Gottlieb machine. For collectors who love a vintage table that wears its era proudly — all neon, skates, and Saturday-night-fever spirit — it’s a likeable and good-natured classic that’s impossible not to smile at. Lace up and let the good times roll.
