Dragon
About This Machine
The 1977 Interflip S.A. "Dragon" is a rare and intriguing addition to any pinball collection. As one of the few electro-mechanical pinball machines from Spain, it holds a unique spot in pinball history. The Dragon's design and gameplay are characteristic of the late EM era, showcasing the manufacturer's experimentation with electronic sound effects and visual elements.
Gameplay on the Dragon is marked by its five knock-down targets that produce an eerie "growling" sound when hit, creating an immersive fantasy theme experience. The machine features two flippers, three pop bumpers, one kick-out hole, and a replay wheel maximum of 20. The use of numbered reels in the backbox to display ball-in-play and match numbers adds a nostalgic touch reminiscent of early pinball designs.
The Dragon's design is notable for its sleek, futuristic aesthetic, with a brightly lit logo above the flippers creating a striking visual effect. While little information is available about this machine beyond its specifications, it remains an attractive addition to any serious pinball enthusiast's collection due to its scarcity and unique features.
