- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (MachineModel)*Sandokan* is a one-off [[technology-generation:electromechanical]] pinball that [[manufacturer:ditta-artigiana-ricambi]], an artisan parts-and-repair firm at Sesto Fiorentino outside Florence, built by re-skinning a single-player [[manufacturer:gottlieb]] table, *[[model:card-trix]]*, whose backglass had originally pictured a college dorm room.[1] The game borrows its name and its swashbuckling subject from the television event of the year: the RAI miniseries *Sandokan*, six episodes broadcast in 1976 that dramatised Emilio Salgari's [[theme:adventure]] tales of the Malaysian [[theme:pirates]], turned the unknown Kabir Bedi into a star, and drew an average of twenty-seven million viewers a night.[2] Only ten examples were ever planned — a run tiny even by the measure of Italy's cottage pinball trade.[3]

Era il 1976 quando Sandokan fece il suo debutto sul piccolo schermo italiano. Sei episodi, una produzione ambiziosa girata fra India e Malesia, un protagonista allora sconosciuto — Kabir Bedi — e una storia avventurosa tratta dai romanzi di Emilio Salgari. [...] 27 milioni di telespettatori in media
