Storm

The 1979 Storm from Segasa d.b.a. Sonic is a solid-state electronic pinball machine produced in Spain. Notably, Storm is a licensed version of Williams' 1978 'Flash', according to the book Arcade Treasures -- an example of the licensing arrangements that let European manufacturers bring American designs to their home markets during this period.

Gameplay on the Storm follows its Williams source material, offering the standard fare of flippers, bumpers, and targets typical of late-1970s pinball, built around a fantasy theme. As a product of Segasa, one of several Spanish firms operating in pinball at the time, Storm illustrates how international manufacturers adapted established American designs for their own markets.

Little detailed documentation exists on Segasa d.b.a. Sonic's operations or production history, and specific details of Storm's artwork and rules beyond its relationship to Flash are not well recorded. It remains an interesting example of the cross-border licensing that shaped part of pinball's history in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
