Jalisco

The Jalisco, produced by Recreativos Franco of Madrid, Spain in 1976, features a Mexico-themed design, a departure from the typical American-centric themes prevalent during this era. As an electro-mechanical (EM), single-player machine, it reflects Spain's early pinball manufacturing industry.

Detailed information on Jalisco's specific gameplay features, designer, and artwork is not well documented. What is known is its EM construction and its distinctive theme drawing on Mexican culture, setting it apart from the more common American and franchise themes of the period.

As a relatively obscure example of 1970s Spanish pinball production, the Jalisco offers a glimpse into the international spread of pinball manufacturing and the localization of themes for different markets.
