Petaco 2

Petaco 2, from Juegos Populares, S.A. of Madrid, Spain, is a Solid State Electronic, four-player pinball machine dated 1985, with a Music/Singing/Dancing theme. Notably, the upper left area of the backglass depicts Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett in a modified recreation of a 1984 photograph — an unusual and striking detail for a pinball backglass of this era.

Gameplay features two flippers, two pop bumpers, two slingshots, two 3-bank drop targets, two spinning targets, a vari-target, and a messenger ball, combining to create a varied, multi-path playfield that encourages players to experiment with different shot strategies.

Little is documented about the machine's designer or the specifics of its artwork beyond the Metallica-inspired backglass imagery, but Petaco 2 stands out as a distinctive example of Spanish pinball manufacturing outside the more commonly documented North American and Italian markets.
