Brave Team

The Brave Team, manufactured by Industria (Electromecánica) de Recreativos S.A. of Madrid, Spain, is a notable entry in the world of 1980s pinball. Released in 1985, this solid-state electronic machine is a relatively rare example of a Spanish-made pinball, offering a unique perspective on design and gameplay from outside the traditional American or Italian manufacturers.

The Brave Team's key features include two flippers, three pop bumpers, six standup targets, two 4-bank drop targets, and two messenger balls. The game also has left and right dual inlanes. What sets this machine apart is its focus on motocross racing, a theme that was relatively rare in pinball at the time. The artwork features colorful depictions of motorcycles in motion, adding to the game's kinetic energy.

While detailed information about the designer and other trivia is scarce, the Brave Team remains an intriguing addition to any serious collector's or enthusiast's collection due to its rarity. Its Spanish origin makes it a fascinating example of the global reach of pinball manufacturing beyond the better-known US and Italian makers.
