Space Train

Space Train is a rare and intriguing addition to the pinball scene, manufactured in 1987 by Maquinas Automaticas Computerizadas, S.A. (MAC S.A.) of Madrid, Spain, a manufacturer that operated only from 1986 to 1987. It's a four-player solid-state machine running on the MAC System IV MPU, and its Spanish origin makes it a fascinating artifact for collectors and historians of European pinball.

Gameplay on Space Train is marked by its use of three captive balls, two slingshots, three pop bumpers, and four standup targets, all set against an Outer Space - Fantasy theme. A standout design feature is the elevated transparent mini-playfield, which adds an extra dimension to the gameplay experience beyond the standard two flippers.

While limited information exists on this machine, its combination of Spanish manufacture and solid-state electronics make it a compelling and unusual addition to any pinball collection, especially for enthusiasts interested in the smaller European manufacturers of the 1980s.
