Nemesis
About This Machine
Nemesis, designed by Eulogio Pingarrón and manufactured by Peyper of Spain in 1986, is a notable addition to the world of pinball, showcasing Spain's established solid state electronic (SS) manufacturing during the 1980s. The backglass art is a rendition of "Flight of the Dragons" by fantasy artist Boris Vallejo, and Pingarrón's own name appears on the playfield below the left flipper.
Nemesis boasts an array of features that set it apart. Notably, it plays with three balls rather than the more common five, a distinctive element that shapes its pacing. Other features include two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, standup targets, two captive balls, two solitary drop targets, and a 3-bank drop target configuration. These elements combine to create an immersive experience, challenging players to navigate the fantasy-themed playfield with precision and strategy.
The design of Nemesis is characteristic of its era, with Boris Vallejo's bold, colorful fantasy artwork evoking a sense of mythological grandeur befitting the game's Fantasy theme. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking to explore lesser-known aspects of pinball history, Nemesis offers an intriguing example of Spain's contribution to the industry during this pivotal period.
