Stern Pinball, Inc. has announced JAWS, inspired by one of the most iconic thrillers from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment. Players can experience all four JAWS films like never before, with innovative mechanical features and advanced technology inspired by memorable movie moments.
The game takes players to Amity Island, a fictional summer beach destination off Long Island, New York. As Fourth of July vacationers flock to the island, danger lurks underwater. The mayor’s decision to hide shark attacks to protect tourism leads to even more terrifying encounters.
In JAWS pinball, players take on the roles of Quint, Hooper, and Brody to save Amity Island and its residents. As seasoned fishermen, they’ll face deadly ocean creatures while experiencing dramatic effects like “blood in the water” lighting. Players can aim at the motorized “Shark Fin” target, navigate the “Orca Boat” upper playfield with its “Lookout Tower” ramp and ship’s wheel spinner, and use the “Radio” target to call for help. A custom motorized “Great White Shark” toy bursts through a boat, adding to the thrill. Will you survive the adventure?
The game also features immersive film and audio elements, including custom dialogue from Richard Dreyfuss and John Williams’ legendary theme music.
“Honoring one of the greatest movie franchises, we’ve equipped JAWS with our most advanced software and hardware yet,” said Seth Davis, President & CEO of Stern Pinball.
