Criterium 80

Criterium 80 is a 1975 single-player, electro-mechanical pinball machine from Petaco, S.A. (Procedimientos Electromagneticos de Tanteo y Color) of Madrid, Spain, a manufacturer that operated from 1962 to 1977. Petaco was the trade name used for the company's domestic market; the same machine was sold abroad under the Recel brand, also as 'Criterium 80.'

The game is built around a bicycle-racing theme and includes two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, six standup targets, three captive balls, three kick-out holes, and a spinning target, all housed in a wedge-head backbox. It can display scores up to 999,990 points, a notably high ceiling for an EM machine of its time.

While specific details about the designer and original release reception are not documented, Criterium 80's cycling theme and Spanish origin make it a distinctive entry from a lesser-known corner of 1970s European pinball manufacturing.
