Antiaereo Reflejos
About This Machine
Antiaereo Reflejos (Spanish for "Antiaircraft Reflexes"), made by Talleres CAR of Barcelona, Spain, is a rare and enigmatic machine included in IPDB primarily because it could be mistaken for a pinball machine - its listed specialty is actually "Not A Pinball." Its wedge-head-style backbox and metal cigarette holders on the side rails closely resemble the styling of Talleres CAR's genuine EM pinball machines from the same era.
Eleven buttons are visible on the front panel, but exactly how the game is played and scored is not documented or understood from the surviving flyer. Its military/aircraft-combat theme fits a broader category of wartime-themed arcade amusements, but no further details on rules or mechanics are available.
Little else is known about Antiaereo Reflejos beyond its physical characteristics and theme. Its scarcity and unknown mechanics make it a curious specimen for collectors and historians, and a reminder of how easily unusual amusement games can be mistaken for pinball machines when only a backglass or backbox survives.
