About This Machine

Circus 388 is a rare and enigmatic pinball machine from SIRMO Games S.A., a lesser-known manufacturer based in Verviers, Belgium. Its exact year of production remains unknown, making it a mystery even to seasoned collectors and historians. As one of the few Solid State Electronic (SS) pinballs attributed to this company, Circus 388 offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of electronic pinball design.

Gameplay on Circus 388 is likely characterized by its extensive use of trap holes - an astonishing 25 are scattered throughout the playfield. This feature would have added an extra layer of complexity and challenge for players, as they navigated the ball through a maze of obstacles. The presence of six cards also hints at innovative gameplay mechanics, possibly involving card-flipping or other interactive elements.

The machine's design and artwork reflect its theme, transporting players to a vibrant circus atmosphere. Its dimensions - 132 cm long, 70 cm wide, and 202 cm high - are impressive for a pinball machine of this era. Unfortunately, little is known about the designer or any notable features that might have set Circus 388 apart from other machines of its time. As such, this description remains speculative, inviting further research and discovery to uncover the secrets hidden within this elusive game.
