STERN PINBALL, INC. PRESS RELEASE

October 20, 2003 - The greatest adventure ever told is now Stern Pinball's epic pinball machine for the ages.
THE LORD OF THE RINGS pinball machine features exciting elements from New Line Cinema's box office hits,
THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and THE TWO TOWERS, as well as the most anticipated installment yet,
THE RETURN OF THE KING, opening worldwide on December 17th.

Players of all levels will love THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
For those truly familiar with the movies and books, the pinball machine follows the story perfectly.
"THE LORD OF THE RINGS is the perfect title and theme for a pinball," Gary Stern said.
"It lends itself to lots of Mechanical Action Pinball shots and toys for casual players,
yet the story cries for deep rules to challenge the best players."

The goal of THE LORD OF THE RINGS pinball machine is to collect the Elf Rings, the Dwarf Rings,
and the mortal men rings, thereby forming The One Ring. Then destroy The One Ring through collecting all three movies.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS pinball machine offers non-stop action at its best in the form of the following mechanisms:
A Balrog toy that pivots when hit by the ball, revealing the jump ramp that leads to The One Ring;
A magnet in the center of The One Ring which pulls the ball in and then feeds another ramp
shaped in the form of Aragorn's legendary Narsil sword;
Many multi-ball modes, including one for each movie, as well as for Gollum; The Orthanc and Barad-dur Towers.
Players can knock down Barad-dur, which also features the eye of Sauron;
A small playfield in the upper left hand corner represents that of The Paths of the Dead;
Twelve action figures from Play Along toys interspersed throughout the playfield.
"All those involved in the design of the pinball machine are true fans of THE LORD OF THE RINGS,
with intimate knowledge of it," Stern said.
"That is why this game is so great - the designers were into this title."

The pinball features original speech from Elijah Wood (Frodo), as well as John Rhys-Dvies (Gimli the Dwarf).
Backglass and cabinet artwork for THE LORD OF THE RINGS was created by artist Jerry Vanderstelt,
while playfield art was designed by Kevin O'Connor.
Sounds and special effects were produced by Chris Granner. Rules are by Keith Johnson on his first outing
since The Simpsons Pinball Party.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS movie trilogy is produced and directed by Peter Jackson. Gary Stern concluded,
"This pinball will have a great response from the public worldwide.
With its great playfield, art package and theme, I expect THE LORD OF THE RINGS
will have the greatest resale value for the operator ever."

THE LORD OF THE RINGS is available UL, CUL and CE approved, as applicable.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS pinball machine will begin shipping in November, 2003.

Attans synd att de kommer att vara dyra i början. Jag tror att de har potential till en klassiker som kan bräcka Twilight Zone, kanske till och med Addams Family!

Dags att börja spara femmor!

One ball to rule them all...

Haha, det är väl det första rena Pinball inlägget på det här forumet. Tuff nyhet i vilket fall. Hur mycket kostar ett flipperspel egentligen?

Re: One ball to rule them all...

Hur mycket kostar ett flipperspel egentligen?

De nya (T3, Simpsons, antagligen LotR) ligger runt 50 000, man kan få ett bra begagnat 90-talsspel (de flesta klassikerna är där) för 8 000-16 000.

Några länkar:

Det går bra att köpa begagnade, men de bör vara nyservade. Där jag köpte mitt får spelen en totalgenomgång, med rengöring, utbyte av alla lampor, gummibitar och annat som kan slitas. Viktigt är också att man får med hela manualen, både spelmanual och servicemanual.

Urr...

"man kan få ett bra begagnat 90-talsspel (de flesta klassikerna är där) för 8 000-16 000."

Betydligt bättre, men fortfarande rätt mycket pengar för en utan inkomst. Jag får vänta ett bra tag eller önska mig det i julklapp...

Jag skulle mycket väl kunna klaga på kommersialiseringen av tolkiens verk och en massa annat. Men jag vill fasen spela! Jag undrar och spekulerar: Är kulan ringen eller frodo? Får man bonus om man träffar Balrogen i Moria? Två kulor - är det när man fått ner bägge statyerna vid Rauras och sällskapet splittras? Och finns det en vulkan på spelplanen som om man träffar den gör så att kulan smälts ner och spelet är slut?

Synnerligen koolt!
