Spanish Eyes

Spanish Eyes, designed by Norm Clark and manufactured by Williams Electronics in November 1971, is a single-player electro-mechanical (EM) pinball machine with a dancing, music, and world-travel theme. Its artwork was created by John Craig, the sole artist for both the backglass and playfield — one of only two pinball machines (alongside 'Granada') to feature his work. Craig, an illustrator who also contributed to Playboy magazine around the same period, was recruited off the street in Chicago by a Williams art director and paid $1,000 for his work on the game.

Gameplay features two flippers, four pop bumpers (one located between the flippers), six stand-up targets, a kick-out hole, and a horseshoe lane, with no slingshots. The machine can be configured for replay, add-a-ball, or novelty play, offering flexibility for different markets.

With 3,905 confirmed units produced, Spanish Eyes represents a solid seller in Williams' early-1970s EM lineup, standing out today for its unique art history and Craig's personal account of joining the pinball industry.
