Atari's
Middle Earth, manufactured in 1978,
dates from the brief period that Atari was involved in
making pinball machines.
This is a 4-player, wide-body, solid state machine.
Here is Atari's description from the advertising flyer:
" Middle Earth is a brilliantly conceived and challenging
new game concept. The unique "double field" layout incorporates
two separates pairs of flippers; one pair to play the upper
section, one to play the lower. . . Flippers are The artwork, on both the backglass and the playfield combines science fiction imagery with a prehistoric look. There are dinosaurs, futuristic animals, giant apes, helmeted heroes, and scantily clad women.
