About This Machine

The 1967 Boxing pinball machine by Maquinas Recreativas Sociedad Anonima (Maresa) of Madrid, Spain, is an electro-mechanical single-player game with a boxing theme. IPDB notes it is a copy of Gottlieb's 1965 'Ice-Revue,' adapted with a wedge-head backbox while retaining a drop-down front cabinet in the style of contemporary Williams machines -- a blend of design influences typical of Spanish manufacturers of the period.

Gameplay features two flippers, four pop bumpers, one passive bumper, two kick-out holes, and six standup targets, paired with a backbox animation depicting boxers in action that reinforces the sporting theme.

The machine's artwork and mechanical animation evoke the excitement of a boxing match, though little specific information survives about its designer or development. As with other Maresa titles of the era, Boxing illustrates how Spanish manufacturers frequently reworked established American Gottlieb designs for their home market.
