Scramble
About This Machine
Scramble, manufactured by Tecnoplay of San Marino, Italy, in 1987, represents one of the lesser-known solid-state electronic pinball machines from the late 1980s. As a Sports-themed game centered around motorcycles and motocross, Scramble offers an intriguing combination of speed and competition. This machine's gameplay features two flippers, four pop bumpers, and four slingshots, alongside four ramps that provide players with opportunities to score high points and compete for the top spot.
What makes Scramble stand out from other pinball machines is its European design and construction, which deviates slightly from American-made cabinets. The Tecnoplay cabinet reportedly features a thick, smooth clear coat, adding an air of sleekness and sophistication to this otherwise straightforward Sports-themed game. While the exact gameplay mechanics and rules are not well-documented, Scramble's solid-state electronics suggest that it was designed with precision and accuracy in mind.
Unfortunately, there is limited information available about Scramble's design team or any notable achievements it may have achieved during its production run. However, for pinball enthusiasts interested in the lesser-known corners of pinball history, Scramble represents a fascinating opportunity to explore an often-overlooked era of machine design and gameplay.
