Mexico

Mexico, produced by Manufacturas Automaticas Americanas (MAM) of Barcelona, Spain, is a rare and intriguing electro-mechanical pinball machine that offers a glimpse into a lesser-documented corner of pinball manufacturing. Its exact year of production is not recorded. The game shares the same playfield layout as MAM's other title, "Que Bueno," and is described as a replay game.

Mexico features an array of engaging gameplay elements, including two flippers, three pop bumpers, two passive bumpers, and two slingshots. The layout includes four standup targets and a swinging target that rewards players with 50 points and a special when lit. Six rollover lanes provide additional scoring opportunities, earning players either 10 or 50 points depending on whether they are lit. Notably, there are no side outlanes -- just one outlane in the flipper gap -- and passive bumpers score 10 points when lit.

The machine's cabinet measures approximately 1.20 meters in length and 0.55 meters in width, with a wedge-shaped head backbox. The maximum displayed point score is 1,999 points. While little information is known about Mexico's designer or artist, its "World Places" theme likely reflects the geographic scope suggested by its name. As a lesser-known machine from a niche manufacturer, Mexico remains an intriguing piece of pinball history for enthusiasts to explore.
