Big Lebowski Pinball – Best of the Fest!

The Dude

The Big Lebowski is a 1998 crime comedy written, produced, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, starring Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler. He is assaulted as a result of mistaken identity, after which The Dude learns that a millionaire (also named Jeffrey Lebowski) was the intended victim. The millionaire Lebowski’s trophy wife is kidnapped, and he commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release; the plan goes awry when the Dude’s friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the ransom money. Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, David Huddleston, John Turturro and Philip Seymour Hoffman also appear in supporting roles.

This plot has resulted in what is considered a real cult-movie and has millions of followers all over the world. The Dude has become a part of life for many people.

Nineties Bally Williams Style

The Big Lebowski (TBL) is a pinball made in the style of the Bally William pinballs from the nineties era we all love and stands its ground against the best of them. While it follows the best principles of Bally William pinballs it incorporates modern techniques like fully controlled (RGB) leds, large LCD display, deeper rule sheet, etc.

The theme integration is considered as one of the best. With covers of the most popular songs, many call-outs and clips from the movie you really enter the movie when playing TBL.

Not One, But Two Bash-Toys

Modern pinballs are all about software and have no toys? Not with TBL. TBL has not one, but two bash-toys: the famous rug and car. Also has a second upper playfield. And last but not least, it has a real Brunswick Bowling Alley which is considered as one of the best and most unique toys in pinball. So, true real mechanical action is present in TBL.

This doesn’t mean that there is software-wise nothing to do. It has not only two main multi-balls but also three Car-modes, six Rug-modes and a final wizard mode: The Dude Abides. And while playing you hear some of the best music ever made accompanied with many clips from the movie and like in the movie, the Stranger takes care of the call-outs.
