Love this discussion -- really hard to beat everything from 80-81 and B/W's 93. Gottlieb obviously ruled the 50s and 60s, but I think their best stretch was 1976-1977. So many great games with iconic layouts and interesting rules.

Quoted from sunnRAT:

Outside of the save gates they are very different to me. I always thought Viking played more like an upgraded Mata Hari.

Mata Hari is a great comparison, especially that right loop shot into the bonus collect. The pop bumper placement, inline drops, and saucers at the top of the playfield give it sort of a squished Paragon feel too. I haven't put much time into Viking, but really enjoyed it when I did.
