Granada
About This Machine
Granada, designed by Norm Clark and manufactured by Williams Electronics in 1972, is a single-player electro-mechanical add-a-ball game. Its theme is a blend of dancing, music, women, and world places, and its artwork is credited to John Craig, whose work also appears on Williams' 'Spanish Eyes' — the only two pinball machines to feature his art.
Granada boasts an array of classic gameplay features, including two flippers, four pop bumpers, two slingshots, thirteen standup targets, two kick-out holes, and a rollunder. In its novelty mode, the Super Special award adds a tantalizing element of strategy, awarding players between 200,000 and 500,000 points (operator adjustable). In add-a-ball mode, the Super Special instead awards two extra balls and no points. The maximum displayed point score is 1,999,990 points.
Production records show a confirmed run of 875 units, the majority of which were built for export. That short run makes Granada a relatively uncommon example of Williams' early-1970s single-player games and an interesting find for collectors of the electro-mechanical era.
