Shrek

Everybody's favorite Ogre is making his way to pinball! DreamWorks Animation's SHREK® franchise is the highest grossing animated movie franchise of all time and now has an officially-licensed pinball machine.

Pat Lawlor Design, along with software and rules designers Lonnie Ropp and Mike Kyzivat, designed the SHREK pinball, featuring eye-popping, original art from John Youssi, newly elected Pinball Hall of Fame artist. Mark Galvez and Tom Kyzivat created original dot matrix display art for the pinball.

The SHREK pinball machine's main feature is Donkey's mini-playfield, a small pinball playfield that sits in the upper right hand corner. It has mini-flippers that the player controls with the regular flipper buttons when the game is in ‘Donkey mini-playfield' mode. The mini-playfield has ramps and targets to shoot at while an actual Donkey figurine spins in front of the mini-playfield.

Additional features on the game include: figurines of five SHREK characters, including Shrek, Donkey, Puss in Boots®, Princess Fiona and Gingy®. A mirror sculpture of Prince Charming sits in the center of the playfield and can be struck by the pinball. Two captive pinballs spell out P-I-N-B-A-L-L when hit; and SHREK also includes plenty of exciting multi-ball action.

"SHREK pinball has great depth and is fun and easy to understand for the casual player. This is a great game for both home owners and game operators," said Gary Stern, President of Stern Pinball.

Pirates Of The Caribbean
 

For those fans of the movies, Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean pinball machine adapts the characters and settings from the two Disney films perfectly into a pinball playfield. Two former Williams’ developers designed Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean, game designer Dennis Nordman and rules designer/software engineer Dwight Sullivan. 

The goal of Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean pinball is to go on a pirate adventure to defeat Davy Jones, Jack’s nemesis in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean/Dead Man’s Chest.

Features Include:

• A mechanical pirate ship that the player strikes with the pinball. With each hit, the ship lowers its sails and eventually sinks into the playfield, thus revealing a shot into the Kraken’s mouth. In this area, the player can sink the ship, destroy the Kraken, and fight Davy Jones.

• A mechanical treasures chest, the Dead Man’s Chest, through which the player can shoot the ball. When the player has the KEY, the chest opens. They can then spell H-E-A-R-T to begin HEART multi-ball.

• A contained spinning rubber disk where the player can capture up to three pinballs. The disk bounces them around in the contained area and holds them for an extended period of time till the player starts multi-ball. The disk sometimes represents Tortuga and other times Port Royal.

• A map compass comprised of playfield inserts that shows the player each feature they need to finish. Complete all eight features and play Four Winds Multi-ball.

Family Guy

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.

The cabinet playfield and plastics are pretty sharp looking. Every ball starts on the upper field and it's easy for ANYONE to take shots up there. If you are good it's very rewarding. The plastics on this photo mock-up are all proto with zero artwork but coming soon. We are very happy with the geometry and rules.

You are getting a game-and-a-half here with the wide open space and 16 drops on the main playfield a jet zone popper scoop Reverse-O-Matic left ramp and right ramp shots orbits etc....Steve Ritchie used the whole back panel and upper playfield for another game with the Ace-In-The-Hole feature a transfer tube targets and a cool device called the Rob VUK which gets the ball up to the upper playfield from the longest shot he could ever make--all the way off the back end of the playfield.

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.

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!”

Keith Johnson, former Williams employee and software designer on THE SIMPSONS/PINBALL PARTY™ says, "In the last 12 years, both pinball and The Simpsons have come a long way, and it was my goal to design a game that illustrates that perfectly. Casual players will be attracted to the Simpsons license and the compelling gadgets. Regular players will be astounded by the sheer amount of things to do and accomplish on the game. I think players of all kinds will be drawn in and find the game satisfying regardless of their skill level."
