About This Machine

Super Tris is a rare and intriguing entry into the world of 1970s solid-state electronic pinball. As one of the few games from Costruzioni Elettroniche Automatiche (C.E.A.), an Italian manufacturer with a relatively short production run, it offers a glimpse into the lesser-known corners of pinball history. Produced in 1979, Super Tris stands out as a unique example of early electronic pinball design.

The gameplay on Super Tris is driven by its left and right dual-lane layout, flippers, two pop bumpers, eight stand-up targets, and a single kick-out hole. The game also features a messenger ball, which adds an extra layer of challenge to the player's experience. While not all details are well-documented, it's clear that Super Tris has its own distinct rhythm and challenges, setting it apart from more common pinball machines.

The theme of "Happiness - Music" is reflected in a color scheme dominated by bright, cheerful hues and an art style that is typical of the era. While specific details about the design or art are scarce due to the machine's rarity, its presence in the world of vintage pinball enthusiasts is undeniably significant.
