Ametrallador Atomico 1ş

The Ametrallador Atomico 1° ("Atomic Machine Gunner") is an electro-mechanical pinball machine from Torres-Macarrón of Madrid, Spain, an apparent follow-up version of the earlier Torres-Macarrón game 'Ametrallador Atomico.' Its exact date is uncertain: the manufacturer's flyer is printed with a 1964 date, but the patent document it references is from 1957 and depicts the playfield of the earlier game, leaving the true release date unclear.

Gameplay centers on seven playfield cannons that "fire" the pinball upward across the layout, alongside two flippers. The largest of these is actually a tube rather than a firing cannon: it accepts a ball entering at the top and delivers it to a lower area between the flippers rather than launching it. The military aviation and combat theme, cannon-firing mechanisms, and generous cabinet dimensions (100 cm long, 55 cm wide, 90 cm high) combine for a distinctive playfield experience unlike typical EM pinball layouts of the era.

Specific details of the game's artwork and broader reception are not documented, but as a rare example of mid-20th-century Spanish pinball manufacturing with an unusual cannon-based shooting mechanic, it remains a notable curiosity for collectors of European pinball history.
