2007 - Stern Pinball, Inc. is releasing its newest pinball machine,
SPIDER-MAN™. Designed by Steve Ritchie, Lyman Sheats, and the engineering
staff at Stern Pinball, the pinball machine takes Spider-Man™, Spider-Man™ 2,

and puts them all into one fast-paced pinball machine that will
excite both operators and homeowners alike !.
In the SPIDER-MAN™ pinball machine, you are Spider-Man.
Your goal is to defeat the villains from all three movies: Green
Goblin from Spider-Man™, Doc Ock from Spider-Man™ 2, and Sandman and Venom from
Spider-Man™ 3. There are detailed, vibrant toys of each of the four villains
on the playfield with an associated shot. Defeat all four villains and
experience Battle Royale!
The pinball machine offers incredible features, including: Doc Ock’s magnet that
simulates a “Fusion Malfunction” by holding the ball; Green Goblin hovering on
his glider above Pumpkin Bomb targets;
Venom’s ramp that quickly feeds the ball back to the left flipper; Sandman’s
whirlwind of targets and a motor 3-bank at the center
of the playfield; and a whole lot of amazing multi-ball action.
Steve Ritchie says, “Many hours have gone into the making of SPIDER-MAN™ pinball
machine. Lyman Sheats has created a
set of elegant yet simple rules that anyone can learn in a few plays.
SPIDER-MAN™ pinball is a game of speed, flow and constant action and excitement.
Lyman and I have wanted to make a Spier-Man pinball since forever, and it
contains the best work and ideas of many people who work at Stern Pinball. We
are extremely pleased with the results, and we think you will be, too!”
Kevin O’Connor created the backglass and playfield art, while Marc Schoenberg
and Mark Galvez produced the cabinet art. The pinball machine has a phenomenal
music and a sound package composed and adapted by David Thiel, along with over
800 speech calls. The dot matrix animations created by Mark Galvez are stunning
and feature scenes from Spider-Man™, Spider-Man™ 2, and Spider-Man™ 3 movies.
Earning very well and eminently collectable, SPIDER-MAN™ pinball from Stern is a
solid and entertaining package that will rock the pinball universe.

About Spider-Man™
3
Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man™ 3 reunites the cast and filmmakers from the first
two blockbuster adventures for a web of excitement that will transport worldwide
audiences to thrilling new heights on
May 4, 2007. In Spider-Man™ 3, based on the legendary Marvel Comics
series, Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his
devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero.
But there is a storm brewing on the horizon.
When his Spider-Man suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his
powers, it transforms Peter as well. Under the influence of the suit, Peter
becomes prideful and overconfident and he begins to neglect the ones he cares
about the most. As two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman and Venom,
gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution, Peter’s greatest battle
is the one within himself. Spider-Man will need to rediscover the compassion
that makes him who he is: a hero.
