About This Machine

Sexy Girl, manufactured by Arkon Automaten, GmbH of Frankfurt, Germany between 1980 and 1982, is a rare and intriguing solid-state electronic pinball machine. Its significance lies in its unique theme, which was relatively uncommon for the time, focusing on women and featuring a distinctive pin-up girl artwork. While not much information is available about Sexy Girl's design or development team, its gameplay features make it an interesting addition to any pinball collection.

The machine boasts several notable gameplay elements, including two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, six standup targets, and a single 5-bank drop target. One of the most distinctive features is the upper left kickback lane, which adds an extra layer of challenge to the game. Additionally, hitting certain targets projects a changing pin-up picture on the screen in the playfield, adding a touch of whimsy to the gameplay experience.

The design and artwork of Sexy Girl are characteristic of the era, with bold colors and graphic illustrations. The theme's focus on women was unusual for 1980s pinball machines, which often featured more generic or fantastical themes. As such, Sexy Girl offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of pinball design and artistry during this period. While its rarity and scarcity make it a challenging find, Sexy Girl remains an intriguing and attractive addition to any serious pinball enthusiast's collection.
