October 20, 2003
The greatest adventure ever told is now Stern Pinball's epic new pinball machine for the ages! Families and 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™ 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 on December 17th, 2003.
"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 features the eye of Sauron; A small playfield in the upper left hand corner represents that of The Paths of the Dead; plus 12 LOTR action figures are 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-Davies (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. Pinball machine rules were developed by Keith Johnson (the rules
designer of very famous "The Simpsons / Pinball Party" machine).
THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ movie trilogy is produced and directed by Peter Jackson.
Mr. Gary Stern concluded, "This pinball machine 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 both the operator and home user
THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ pinball machine began shipping on November, 2003.
