About This Machine

The Gamatron, manufactured by Segasa d.b.a. Sonic in 1986, is a notable addition to the world of solid-state electronic pinball machines. As one of the few examples of Spanish-made pinball hardware from this era, it stands out for its unique blend of gameplay and design elements. With a focus on outer space as its theme, Gamatron presents players with an immersive experience that's still waiting to be fully explored.

Gamatron boasts an impressive array of features, including two flippers, one pop bumper, two slingshots, multiple drop targets, kick-out holes, spinning targets, and kickers. The machine's standout feature is undoubtedly its 3-ball multiball mode, which can be triggered in the upper left playfield. This unique setup allows players to simultaneously manage three balls as they navigate through a complex web of ramps and targets.

The Gamatron's design and art are equally captivating, with Plexiglas-covered playfields adding a sleek touch to its otherwise retro aesthetic. While there may be limited information available on this machine, its relative obscurity only adds to its allure for pinball enthusiasts seeking out rare and lesser-known titles.
