Miss Spy
About This Machine
Miss Spy, manufactured by Manufacturas Automaticas Americanas (MAM) of Barcelona, Spain, is a rare and enigmatic electro-mechanical pinball machine. Despite its unknown production year and lack of clear theme, this machine has garnered significant attention from pinball enthusiasts due to its unique features and intriguing design.
One of the most notable aspects of Miss Spy is its asymmetrical playfield, which offers an unconventional gameplay experience. The four flippers, arranged in a 2-above-2 configuration, are extremely close together, requiring players to adapt their technique to navigate the challenging layout. Additionally, the machine boasts three pop bumpers, five standup targets, and one kick-out hole, providing ample opportunities for scoring and multiball action. The inclusion of an automatic ball serve system also streamlines gameplay, allowing players to focus on mastering the intricacies of Miss Spy's design.
While little is known about the machine's designer or its intended theme, the artwork and backglass marquee suggest a playful, espionage-inspired aesthetic. As one of the few MAM-manufactured pinball machines in existence, Miss Spy offers a glimpse into the lesser-known aspects of early pinball history. Its unique blend of mechanics and design elements makes it an attractive target for collectors and enthusiasts seeking to uncover the secrets of this mysterious machine.
