Stern Pinball
Press Release
July 13, 2006 - The greatest pirate adventure
of all-time is now the latest Stern Pinball, Inc. pinball machine! 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 Multiball.
• A contained spinning 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
Multiball. 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 Multiball.
