About This Machine

Galaxie is an electro-mechanical Add-A-Ball pinball machine from Italy's Renato Montanari Giochi (R.M.G.), produced as a copy of Gottlieb's 1971 'Galaxie.' As with many R.M.G. titles, it adapted an existing American design for the Italian and European market. No specific release year or designer credit is documented for this machine.

The gameplay features that make Galaxie stand out include its dual flippers, two pop bumpers, five kick-out holes, and an impressive 20 drop targets. Players must navigate the ball through these obstacles to achieve high scores, with a layout that closely mirrors the original Gottlieb machine it was based on.

While details about Galaxie's theme or artwork are scarce, its Add-A-Ball format and heavy reliance on drop targets suggest a focus on technical precision and playability. As an electro-mechanical clone from a lesser-known manufacturer, Galaxie offers a glimpse into how European operators localized popular American designs during the early 1970s.
