Press Release
STERN PINBALL SIGNS LICENSE FOR SHREK® PINBALL MACHINE
March 13,
2008 - Everybody's favorite Ogre is making his way to pinball! DreamWorks
Animation's SHREK® franchise is the highest grossing animated movie
franchise of all time and now has an officially-licensed pinball machine.
Pat Lawlor Design, along with software and rules designers Lonnie Ropp
and Mike Kyzivat, designed the SHREK pinball, featuring eye-popping,
original art from John Youssi, newly elected Pinball Hall of Fame artist.
Mark Galvez and Tom Kyzivat created original dot matrix display art for
the pinball.
The SHREK pinball machine's main feature is Donkey's mini-playfield,
a small pinball playfield that sits in the upper right hand corner. It
has mini-flippers that the player controls with the regular flipper buttons
when the game is in 'Donkey mini-playfield' mode. The mini-playfield has
ramps and targets to shoot at while an actual Donkey figurine spins in
front of the mini-playfield.
Additional features on the game include: figurines of five SHREK
characters, including SHREK, Donkey, Puss in Boots®, Princess Fiona
and Gingy®. A mirror sculpture of Prince Charming sits in the center of
the playfield and can be struck by the pinball. Two captive pinballs spell
out P-I-N-B-A-L-L when hit; and SHREK also includes plenty of exciting
multi-ball action.
"SHREK pinball has great depth and is fun and easy to understand
for the casual player. This is a great game for both home owners and game
operators," said Gary Stern, President of Stern Pinball.
