Stern Pinball, Inc. announces their newest pinball games
featuring JAWS,
one of the most iconic motion picture thrillers of all time from Universal
Pictures and Amblin Entertainment. Players will experience all four
blockbuster JAWS films
like never before, with brand-new mechanical features inspired by iconic
movie moments and state-of-the-art technology. JAWS pinball
games are available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE) models.
JAWS transports
players to the fictional locale of Amity Island, located off the coast of
Long Island, New York. The small fishing community is a popular beach
vacation location in the summer. As Fourth of July vacationers close in on
the island’s picturesque beaches, grave danger lurks below sea level… The
Amity Island mayor covers up the shark attacks out of fear of losing the
island’s tourism money, resulting in more terrifying attacks.
Stern’s JAWS pinball
games will have players grabbing their harpoons and playing as Quint,
Hooper, and Brody to save Amity Island’s residents and the Fourth of July!
As the grizzled fishermen, tackle the most dangerous ocean creatures on the
planet. Tension mounts as you see “blood in the water” from our animated
lighting effects. Fire pinballs at the motorized “Shark Fin” target
swimming across the playfield. Anticipation builds as you navigate the
“Orca Boat” upper playfield, featuring a “Lookout Tower” ramp, a ship’s
wheel horizontal spinner on the deck, and a “Radio” stand-up target to call
for help. Lookout! A motorized custom sculpted “Great White Shark” bash
toy comes crashing through the bottom of a fishing boat, terrorizing players
in this thrilling pinball odyssey. Will you survive JAWS?!
In addition to immersive film and audio assets integrated
into pinball action, JAWS includes
custom speech by actor Richard Dreyfuss and the iconic movie theme music by
John Williams.
“Honoring one of the greatest movie franchises of all time,
we’re giving JAWS our
most advanced software and hardware to date,” said Seth Davis, President &
CEO of Stern Pinball, “We can’t wait to debut JAWS Pinball’s heart-pounding
gameplay to the world!”
