"Golden Arrow," released by D. Gottlieb & Co. in 1977, is a single-player electro-mechanical pinball machine designed by Ed Krynski with artwork by Gordon Morison. The game features a distinctive archery and target-shooting theme, with gameplay centered around hitting lit numbers and lanes to maximize scoring, particularly by aligning the lit arrow with the corresponding lit number for a bonus.

Quickie Version:
Shoot lit numbers and lanes, ideally with both the number and the arrow lit.
Go-to Flipper:
Balanced
Risk Index:
Very High
Full Rules:
A pretty poor game for competition, since once you’ve collected all the numbers, there’s almost nothing to do but chase the sole lit arrow if able or go UTAD and hope for bumper love and some random hits on the 5K green stand-up targets. Having the lit arrow where you can use it is more a matter of luck than skill. Numbers score 5000 when lit, which is just the first time collected; they’re worth only 500 thereafter. The two spinners and the star rollover in the center move the arrow which is always on exactly one number. If both the number and the arrow on it are lit, it scores 10K. Blue bumpers score 1K.
