Sportmatic

Sportmatic is a Spanish pinball manufacturer founded in Barcelona in the early 1980s that produced a small but distinctive line of solid-state pinball machines aimed at the booming European arcade market, noted for eye-catching themes, creative gameplay and a compact catalog that includes Flashman and Terrific Lake. The company’s history—marked by releases highlighted in existing records such as Eagle, Cerberus and Monster—reflects the creativity and challenges of independent Spanish pinball manufacturing in the 1980s, and despite ceasing operations by the late 1980s Sportmatic machines remain of interest to collectors and historians as representative examples of Spain’s contribution to the global pinball scene.
