Sea Scare

The Sea Scare pinball machine is a rare example of electro-mechanical design from Petaco, S.A., the domestic trade name used by a Madrid, Spain manufacturer active from 1962 to 1977. Although its exact production year is unknown, an export version was later released by Recel in 1978, suggesting Sea Scare itself dates from somewhere in that general period.

Sea Scare boasts an array of notable features, including two flippers, two pop bumpers, and two slingshots, which provide a lively experience for players. The game's layout includes a right dual-lane configuration and a mini-bagatelle area on the playfield that adds an extra layer of challenge and reward. Additionally, three drop targets, a kick-out hole, and a wedge head cabinet further contribute to the machine's distinctive gameplay, along with an end-of-ball bonus.

From a design and theming perspective, Sea Scare draws on fantasy and myth, though details about its designer or specific artistic influences are scarce. It stands out as an intriguing example of Petaco's creative output during its operating years.
