Stern Pinball has announced an official JAWS pinball machine that they’ve created, and they released a trailer for it that you can check out below!
Jaws is one of my all-time favorite movies and I’m also a big fan of pinball machines, so this is actually really awesome. If I had the money, I would totally buy one of these! But I definitely don’t have the kind of money they are asking for to buy one.
Players will experience the original trilogy of films like never before with brand-new mechanical features inspired by iconic movie moments and state-of-the-art technology.
JAWS brings players to the beloved, fictional locale of Amity Island, located off the coast of Long Island, New York. The small fishing community becomes a popular beach vacation location in the summer months, but as Fourth of July vacationers close in on the island’s picturesque beaches, grave danger lurks below sea level…the Amity Island mayor attempts to cover up shark attacks out of fear of losing the island’s tourism money, resulting in several terrifying attacks.
Playing as Quint, Stern’s JAWS pinball games will have players grabbing their harpoons and helping Amity Island save the Fourth of July! As the grizzled fisherman, tackle the most dangerous ocean creatures on the planet. Heart pounding tension mounts as you fire pinballs at a motorized “Shark Fin” target with “blood in the water” animated lighting effects. Anticipation builds as you navigate the “Orca Boat” upper playfield, featuring a “Lookout Tower” ramp, ship’s wheel horizontal spinner on the deck and “Radio” stand-up target to call for help, but 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?!
In addition to immersive film and audio assets integrated into pinball action, JAWS includes custom speech performed by actor Richard Dreyfuss and the iconic movie theme music by John Williams.
Seth Davis, President & CEO, Stern Pinball said in a statement: “Honoring one of the greatest movies of all time, we’re giving JAWS our most modern software and hardware to date. We can’t wait to debut this game’s terrifying and surprising gameplay to the world!”
