Stern Pinball, Inc. is releasing its newest pinball machine, SPIDER-MAN™. Designed by Steve Ritchie, Lyman Sheats, and the engineering staff at Stern Pinball, the pinball machine takes Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3 and puts them all into one fast-paced pinball machine that will excite both operators and homeowners.
In the SPIDER-MAN™ pinball machine, you are Spider-Man™. Your goal is to defeat the villains from all three movies: Green Goblin from Spider-Man, Doc Ock from Spider-Man 2, and Sandman and Venom from Spider-Man 3. There are detailed, vibrant toys of each of the four villains on the playfield with an associated shot. Defeat all four villains and experience Battle Royale!
The pinball machine offers incredible features, including: Doc Ock's magnet that simulates a "Fusion Malfunction" by holding the ball; Green Goblin hovering on his glider above Pumpkin Bomb targets; Venom's ramp that quickly feeds the ball back to the left flipper; Sandman's whirlwind of targets and a motor 3-bank at the center of the playfield; and a whole lot of amazing multi-ball action.
Steve Ritchie says, “Many hours have gone into the making of SPIDER-MAN™ pinball machine. Lyman Sheats has created a set of elegant yet simple rules that anyone can learn in a few plays. SPIDER-MAN™ pinball is a game of speed, flow and constant action and excitement. Lyman and I have always wanted to make a SPIDER-MAN™ pinball game since forever, and it contains the best work and ideas of many people who work at Stern Pinball. We are extremely pleased with the results, and we think you will be, too!”
Kevin O'Conner utilized the film’s art resources and created the back glass and playfield art, while Marc Shoenberg and Mark Galvez also worked with the film’s art direction, to produce the cabinet art. The pinball machine has a phenomenal music and a sound package composed and adapted by David Thiel, along with over 800 speech calls. The game also features stunning dot matrix animations created by Mark Galvez, recapturing key scenes form Spider-Man , Spider-Man 2, and Spider-Man 3. Earning very well and eminently collectable, SPIDER-MAN™ pinball from Stern is a solid and entertaining package that will rock the pinball universe.
Meet the Griffins...America's new first family of comedy! The Griffin family stars in the FOX Television show FAMILY GUY, an animated sitcom that is making adults of all ages laugh till they cry. FAMILY GUY is also Stern Pinball's newest pinball machine, designed by Pat Lawlor, his team at Pat Lawlor Design, and the engineers at Stern Pinball.
The FAMILY GUY pinball machine features exclusive never before heard phrases by FAMILY GUY show creator, Seth McFarlane. Seth offers up plenty of hysterical lines as Peter Griffin (the father), Brian Griffin (the family dog), Stewie Griffin (the baby who wants to take over the world), and other characters from the show. The FAMILY GUY pinball offers three different adjustable levels of speech (Adult, Moderate and Family). The FAMILY GUY pinball machine also features original artwork from the artists who create the FAMILY GUY television show, as well as famed pinball artists John Youssi and Margaret Hudson.
The FAMILY GUY pinball machine introduces a unique element to pinball—Stewie's mini-playfield. Stewie's mini-playfield is a small pinball playfield that sits in the upper right hand corner of the main playfield. It has mini-flippers that the player controls with the regular flipper buttons when the game is in 'Stewie mini-playfield' mode. The mini-playfield even has ramps and targets to shoot at while a toy of Stewie turns on its axis in front of the mini-playfield and taunts the player into believing they have no chance of beating Stewie.
Additional features on the game include: character figures of each of the six Griffin family members by Mezco Toys; a Patriot Ale can with a Brian Griffin toy standing on top that can be struck by the ball (the game owner will be provided with an extra set of decals if they want to change Patriot Ale to Patriot Root Beer); two captive pinballs, which spell out P-I-N-B-A-L-L when struck; and plenty of multi-ball features.
