I do not know about you, but every time I watch a movie or series and a pinball comes out, I can not even blink until I guess the machine model that it is.
Today, I’m going to do the opposite. Let’s get to know all the pinball machines based on successful movies.
The fever for commercial licenses encouraged the players to begin to adore even more «the machines of the million». It was a great impulse to encourage the game in these machines. Likewise, the designers themselves were inspired by the characters, places or other characteristics related to the films to fill the board of designs and accessories that made the player enjoy, even more, the experiences with pinballs.
Next, I leave you a list with the film-based machines:
1. Star Wars.
Manufactured by Sega Pinball in March 1997. Stern and Williams also have their own models.
2. Austin Power.
It was in 2001 when Stern decided to acquire the license to make a pinball related to the fictional English spy.
3. James Bond.
Agent 007 had his porpia pinball thanks to Gottlieb for the 80s.
4. Drácula.
The most famous vampire of all time had his own pinball machine thanks to Williams in 1993.
5. Jurasicc Park.
Manufactured by Data East in 1993 with a production of 9008 machines.
6. Flash Gordon.
Bally Manufacturing Corporation introduced its machine in February 1981 with a production of 10,000 units.
7. Demolition Man.
In 1994 Williams Electronics Games presented Demolition Man. Designed by Dennis Nordman with image and sound of Jon Hey.
8. Independence day.
The most famous alien invasion in history has its own pinball since 1996 thanks to Sega Pinball.
These are some of the many pinball related movies. In addition, there are other models like Batman Forever, The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, Space Jam, Avatar, Lost in Space, Godzilla, Terminator 2, The Addams Family, The Shadow, The Hobbit, Rocky, Pirates of the Caribbean or Elvira, the queen of darkness.
If you notice another model, leave me a comment!
