About
Video Dens, S.A., known in the trade as Videodens, was a Spanish arcade manufacturer based in Fuenlabrada, a city in the Madrid region, active from 1980 to 1987. Its early output was mostly video games, including a Scramble-style shooter marketed as Offensive (1981) and a pair of Pac-Man clone boards, alongside an electromechanical bowling-alley machine called New Bowling (1981). Videodens moved into pinball in 1985 with Ator, a four-player solid-state machine and its first release in the category.
Videodens followed with two more pinball machines built around its own circuit board: Break '86, launched in March 1986, and Papillon, a four-player solid-state game released later that year — a distinct, unrelated machine from the French Papillon that Jeutel had put out in 1984. All three of Videodens' pinball machines carried official Spanish homologación certification, and the company appears to have wound down its arcade manufacturing by 1987.
