Venture Line

Venture Line, Inc. was an arcade-game manufacturer based in Tempe, Arizona, active from the mid-1970s into the 1980s. Its catalog was almost entirely video games, starting with the Breakout-style Break Away in 1976 and continuing through titles such as Meteoroids (1981), Ponpoko (1982) and Super Rider (1983), sold alongside video conversion kits.

Pinball was a one-off for the company. Its only entry was Joker's Wild, a four-player, solid-state cocktail table released in 1978 with a card-and-casino theme, featuring flippers, pop bumpers, a slingshot and standup targets. Venture Line did not make another pinball machine, continuing instead as a video game manufacturer.
