Sea Scare

Sea Scare, manufactured by Recel S.A. of Madrid, Spain between 1974 and 1986, is a rare and intriguing electro-mechanical pinball machine from 1978. As one of the few EM machines to emerge during this period, Sea Scare holds significance in the history of pinball, representing a transitional phase between traditional electromechanical games and the more advanced solid-state electronics that would soon dominate the industry.

Gameplay on Sea Scare is characterized by its unique blend of fantasy and mythological themes, with two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, three drop targets, and a single kick-out hole. The presence of right dual inlanes adds an extra layer of strategy to the game, while the mini-bagatelle on the playfield provides an entertaining diversion. An end-of-ball bonus and wedge head further contribute to the machine's distinct gameplay experience.

The artwork on Sea Scare is a key aspect of its appeal, featuring vibrant colors and fantastical creatures that evoke a sense of mystery and wonder. Unfortunately, little information is available about the game's designer or any notable events in its history. Nevertheless, as one of the few remaining examples from this era, Sea Scare remains an important piece of pinball history, offering enthusiasts a glimpse into the evolution of the game over time.
