Evolution

The Jeutel Evolution, manufactured in 1986, marks a notable entry in the world of solid-state electronic pinball machines. As one of a small number of French-made pinball titles, it offers a distinct perspective on the game's design and technology in the mid-1980s. With only 180 units confirmed produced, it remains a scarce find for collectors and enthusiasts.

The Evolution features an engaging gameplay experience with four flippers and a wide variety of targets, including eight standup targets, three star rollovers, a 4-bank and a 3-bank of drop targets, a pop bumper, two slingshots, a kick-out hole, and a left outlane kickback, adding complexity to the game's flow.

The playfield and backglass art were created by artist Michele "Mike" Martinelli. The Evolution's theme - Evolution/Science - is relatively rare among pinball machines, making it stand out visually and thematically within Jeutel's catalog and the broader solid-state era.
