Metropolis

Metropolis is an electro-mechanical pinball machine manufactured by Maquinas Recreativas Sociedad Anonima (Maresa) of Madrid, Spain, with an outer-space, science-fiction fantasy theme. Its exact production year is not documented, but Maresa's manufacturing lineage connects to Explomatic of Sevilla, which reportedly took over Maresa's operations around 1977-78 and released a near-identical machine under the same name.

Gameplay features two flippers, two pop bumpers, two five-bank drop targets, two kick-out holes, three standup targets, and dual in-lanes on the left and right — a feature-rich layout typical of late-1970s European electromechanical pinball, giving players multiple paths to score.

Specific artwork and design details for this Maresa original are not documented, but its outer-space theme reflects broader science-fiction trends in pinball design of the era. As one of two closely related 'Metropolis' machines tied to the Maresa/Explomatic manufacturing relationship, this game offers a useful reference point for tracing the history of pinball manufacturing in Spain.
