Super XX

The Super XX, manufactured by Alfred Druschky's ADEBE in 1935 in Berlin, Germany, is a period example of pure-mechanical pinball from pre-war Europe. Its pure mechanical design, with no electricity involved, offers a glimpse into an early chapter of the game's history, well before electromechanical and solid-state pinball emerged.

Gameplay on the Super XX centers on nine snap traps that capture the ball during play, along with double, triple, and quadruple scoring opportunities that let skilled shots multiply a player's score. Two large letters, "XX", are prominently displayed on the lower playfield, distinguishing this title from ADEBE's similar 1935 release, 'Super X'.

The Super XX's aesthetic is typical of early pinball design, with a wooden cabinet and functional simplicity in place of elaborate artwork. Little is known today about Alfred Druschky or the broader history of ADEBE, but the Super XX remains an intriguing surviving example of pinball's mechanical roots.
