Ator

The Ator pinball machine is a rare and enigmatic gem from Video Dens, S.A. of Madrid, Spain. As a solid-state electronic (SS) pinball machine originating from Spain, it holds a distinctive place in the global pinball community due to its Adventure-Fantasy theme. Despite a lack of readily available information on this machine's history, its distinct design and features make it an intriguing find for collectors and enthusiasts.

Ator boasts a range of engaging gameplay elements, including two flippers, three pop bumpers, two stand-up targets, and a single 4-bank drop target. The game also features a kick-out hole, a messenger ball, and separate left and right dual inlanes, with no slingshots — notable characteristics that set it apart from other pinball machines of its era. The backglass artwork is particularly striking, covering the score display windows while still allowing players to keep track of their progress through the art.

Specific details on the game's storyline and designer remain elusive, but its adventure-fantasy theme and distinct look make Ator a fascinating glimpse into pinball manufacturing outside the usual American and European hubs, and an attractive find for collectors seeking a unique piece.
