1976 Gottlieb BUCCANEER pinball machine

That sound brings back a lot of happy memories. My grandparents had one of these in their sunroom, and I must've spent thousands of hours on it in the '80s and '90s. My stepdad and I just dug it out of storage, and it's now in the hands of a friend who's opening a taproom/arcade. I can't wait to play it again.

Thanks for the lovely comment. I hope you get the chance to play it soon!

I really like the longer videos on these games. Make more of them. Thanks!

This was a truly great table. I used to play one on the Boardwalk in Asbury Park every summer night in the late 70s, pretending I was a character in a Bruce Springsteen song. It was two games for a quarter, and the machine popped at 110,000. Then I heard they were going to sell it, so I bought it.

[@masterfactchecker5541]

Memories playing this one....stretched that quarter into a couple hours killing time...waiting for that special!

[@rhondatracey6377]

We loved this game !!!!

[@jayducharme]

That looks like a lot of fun!

[@melvinmcdoogle515]

My Grandparents had this machine in their basement, spent years playing it.

[@Foxonian]

Used play this game at the old Zayre dept. store when I was a kid in the mid 70"s

[@rhondatracey6377]

Yep us too in zayres woodbridge va

[@rhondatracey6377]

Totally got kicked of zayres number of times picking up machine to make it tilt and position to knock off games Loved it the best of times

[@pip12111]

I used to play this one when I was a kid. The top right blue star bumper would catch a ball and loose was to shake the machine and then it would tilt

[@rhondatracey6377]

Yes yes yes The tilt was broke and we would rack up games !!!!

[@jonoedwards4195]

Bumpers and Spinner, all the good ingredients needed!

[@aimoriizumi]

これは名作です！！

[@teddyl7006]

The lanes for the rollover switches 10 & 11 basically block the upper play field so the only skill shot is up through the spinner in the center. From there it's just luck and next to impossible to complete to goal to get all of the targets. It doesn't look like there's anything else to shoot for. This machine would get dull really fast.

[@robertlozyniak3661]

It probably looks "boring" because you can't see the score in the video. That's a problem with most pinball videos: you can't see the score, so it does get kind of boring.

[@alanmusicman3385]

No, all the rollerovers (except the outlanes_) are bi-directional so you can shoot for those too (see for example 05:30 and at 05:58 in this video). Thus you have 5 ways to get the ball back onto the upper playfield. I have one of these too (though in less good condition) and I don't find it gets dull.

[@robertlozyniak3661]

The rollovers are directional ?!

[@alanmusicman3385]

No, almost all are bi-directional.

[@builtfordtough4499]

Way to make her knock Mate.

[@didithoese2185]

dont swing the complete machine to right and left lol

[@kingsuniversitycollegeits1802]

The game can be moved as much as the tilt mechanism will allow. That's what pinball is all about!

[@brianfergus839]

@@kingsuniversitycollegeits1802 none of these KZbin players shake the machine like we used to do. While I’m watching I’m constantly thinking “shake it!” Lol
