By knapparcade
The months, perhaps even years, of rumors and speculation are over. This morning, Friday November 13th at 9:00 AM Central time, Spooky Pinball officially revealed its next pinball machine, based on Steven Spielberg's beloved 1985 film "The Goonies." The game Let's start things off by looking at the game's features. The centerpiece of the game may be the the Inferno upper playfield, built around a sculpted pirate ship hull. It has: - Sculpted quarterdeck stairs - An interactive motorized rotating ship wheel - A Walk the Plank escape shot that drops to the Octopus Pit - A VUK that feeds the One-Eyed Willy ball lock - A repeatable Jump Rope 180-degree orbit The ball gets to the Inferno from a sculpted translucent treasure pile in a treasure chest. A mechanized lift ramp carries it to the launch. The bone organ from the film is on the right side of the playfield. It’s a sculpted, moving, flashing piece, and the organ keys work as targets. The organ also has its own rhythm game video mode. Other features on the playfield include: - A fully sculpted One-Eyed Willy multiball lock, with an add-a-ball under a jaw drop target - The Lighthouse Lounge fireplace, with three secret entrances - RGB-lit Fratelli’s Lighthouse Lounge drop targets - A repeatable Waterslide upper-flipper spinner loop - An X Marks the Spot captive ball - A “Data Gadget” Shatz rattle-switch multiplier The machine has five stainless steel ramps and skip ramps and seven whiskey bronze powder-coated habitrails. Sculpts are officially licensed and made by Back Alley Creations. Art, sound and video Christopher Franchi did the beautiful hand-drawn art, and Brady Hearn composed amazing original music and sounds for the game. It is now confirmed that the machine does indeed include Cyndi Lauper’s original recording of the iconic “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough.” It also contains hours upon hours of original clips and sound from the movie.
