The
greatest pirate adventure of all-time is now
the latest pinball machine from Stern Pinball,
Inc. Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean
pinball features exciting elements from the
first movie, as well as the box office record-breaking,
Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean/Dead
Man's Chest.
For those fans of the movies, Disney's
Pirates of the Caribbean pinball
machine adapts the characters and settings
from the two Disney films perfectly into a
pinball playfield. Two former Williams' developers
designed Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean,
game designer Dennis Nordman and
rules designer/software engineer Dwight Sullivan.
"Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean
is the perfect title and theme for a pinball,"
Gary Stern says. "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 Disney's Pirates of the
Caribbean pinball is to go on a pirate
adventure to defeat Davy Jones, Jack's nemesis
in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean/Dead
Man's Chest.
Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean
offers the following features:
- A mechanical pirate ship
that the player strikes with the pinball.
With each hit, the ship lowers its sails
and eventually sinks into the playfield,
thus revealing a shot into the Kraken's
mouth. In this area, the player can sink
the ship, destroy the Kraken, and fight
Davy Jones.
- A mechanical treasures chest,
the Dead Man's Chest, through which the
player can shoot the ball. When the player
has the KEY, the chest opens. They can then
spell H-E-A-R-T to begin HEART multi-ball.
- A contained spinning rubber
disk where the player can capture up to
three pinballs. The disk bounces them around
in the contained area and holds them for
an extended period of time till the player
starts multi-ball. The disk sometimes represents
Tortuga and other times Port Royal.
- A map compass comprised of
playfield inserts that shows the player
each feature they need to finish. Complete
all eight features and play Four Winds Multi-ball.
Kevin
O'Connor created the artwork for Disney's
Pirates of the Caribbean pinball
machine. David Thiel, former IT and Microsoft
sound engineer, developed the sound and music
for the game. Together the team delivered
a great package of sound and art.
