About This Machine

The Maquinas Recreativas Sociedad Anonima (Maresa) pinball machine, "Sprint", is a rare and intriguing example of early electro-mechanical gameplay. Little is known about this machine's history, but its unique design and features make it an exciting find for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its slot car racing theme sets it apart from more common pinball motifs of the period.

Sprint boasts four flippers, four pop bumpers, and a single passive bumper, providing players with multiple ways to interact with the game's layout. The addition of standup targets, kick-out holes, a roll-under lane, and a captive ball spinner adds complexity and challenge to gameplay. Notably, the playfield layout is the same as Gottlieb's 1967 'Super Score', and this is considered a replay game.

While few details are known about Sprint's designer or production history, its electro-mechanical construction is characteristic of pinball designs of its era. The machine features a maximum displayed point score of 1,999 points per player. Despite its obscurity, Sprint remains an interesting addition to any collection, offering a look at the development of pinball gameplay and design during this period.
