+Juan Paredes, the founder of Juegos Populares (and Petaco before that), started another pinball
+company named Automáticos Montecarlo (with another partner named Rosés) just before closing Juegos
+Populares because of economic issues. Some of the intellectual property was transferred from one
+company to the other.  Automáticos Montecarlo manufactured two pinballs just relabeling Juegos
+Populares machines (using the same ROMs): Lortium and Pimbal.  (Pimbal was a reissue of Quijote, also
+from Juegos Populares.)  A completely new pinball design, named Mediterráneo, was started but couldn't
+be finished, as Juan Paredes died in a traffic accident while the project was at a very preliminary
+stage.
