Picnic

The 1967 Picnic pinball machine by Maquinas Recreativas Sociedad Anonima (Maresa) is an electro-mechanical single-player game from Madrid, Spain. IPDB identifies it as a copy of Gottlieb's 1966 'Central Park,' a common practice among Spanish manufacturers of the era who adapted popular American designs. The machine's wedge-shaped headbackbox houses a mechanical animation of a man ringing a bell.

The Picnic's gameplay uses two flippers, four pop bumpers, and two slingshots, along with 12 standup targets and dual outlanes on both sides of the playfield, offering ample scoring opportunities. The maximum displayed score of 1,999 points is typical for machines of this design generation.

While little information survives about the machine's specific theme details or the individuals behind its production, its status as a Spanish adaptation of a well-known Gottlieb design makes it an interesting artifact of the era's cross-border pinball manufacturing.
