About This Machine

Rompeolas ('Breakwater' in Spanish) is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from Maquinas Recreativas Sociedad Anonima (Maresa) of Madrid, Spain, sharing its playfield layout with Gottlieb's 1967 two-player game 'Surf Side'. Its exact production year is not documented.

Gameplay is built around four flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, six standup targets, and two roto-targets, housed in a wedge-head backbox with a drop-down cabinet. The maximum displayed score is 9,999 points.

The machine's playfield and backglass art carry a beach, boating, and sailing theme, fitting its Spanish coastal name. As with several other Maresa titles, it appears to be an adaptation of an existing Gottlieb design for the Spanish market, though details of its designer are not documented.
