Stern 2007
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 Royal!
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 wanted to make a Spider-Man
pinball 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’Connor created the back glass and
playfield art, while Marc Schoenberg and Mark Galvez produced 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 dot matrix
animations created by Mark Galvez are stunning and feature scenes from
Spider-Man™, Spider-Man™ 2, and Spider-Man™ 3 movies. Earning very well and
eminently collectable, SPIDER-MAN™ pinball from Stern is a solid and
entertaining package that will rock the pinball universe.
