Designed by industry legend Dennis Nordman and featuring artwork by Christopher Franchi, when folded down this cool looking space sci-fi themed game is intended to resemble a tank.

Galactic Tank Force:  a Pinball Machine or a Tank!

There are several shots of the cabinet in the teaser video, but no clues about what to expect on the playfield. However Nordman has shared one or two details on social media. According to Dennis, the version of Galactic Tank Force that was shown in the teaser video was the Limited Edition – and the game will also be available in a standard pinball machine cabinet for players who like to have a uniform lineup of pinball machines in their games room.

“Finally!  I can show what I’ve been creating, on and off, for the past few years.  This is the cabinet for my new game, Galactic Tank Force. Of course it didn’t get to this point without the help of many other talented people.  This is the cabinet in its folded up position. It opens to reveal a pinball game inside. This is the Limited Edition for those who have the room and want something cool looking for their game rooms.  It also comes in a standard cabinet for those who like to have a line up of pin games. Will be available for sale by the end of March.”

The film stars John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames and Uma Thurman.

Playfield: More Mechanisms & Greater Depth

Legendary pinball designer Mark Ritchie masterfully crafted a playfield which on its surface appears comparable to games from this era but outside of initial perception features more mechanisms and greater depth than most games produced today. David Thiel forcefully pulls the player into this world utilizing over 250 iconic lines from Pulp Fiction’s legendary cast, five licensed songs from the original movie soundtrack, and a number of original compositions.

Pinball Machine Silicone Rubbers

Pinball machine silicone rubbers from Pinball Heaven.

Upgrade and personalise your pinball machine using state of the art materials, while still retailing that retro look and feel, with replacement silicone rubbers from Pinball Heaven.

Original white pinball rubbers were reactive and delivered great bounce, but they tended to become dirty more quickly and could quickly soon lose their aesthetic appeal. Whereas, standard black rubbers hide dirt well and offer an acceptable mix of durability, aesthetics and playability. However both white and black pinball rubbers have to be replaced every few years as they age, deteriorate and break down, and their game performance starts to fail.

Our next generation PerfectPlay™ silicone post rings, post rubbers, flipper rubbers, rubber rings and post sleeves are made from uniquely formulated silicone. They provide a classic pinball rubber feel while adding vivid colours to your machine, and they last longer too.

Our silicone post rings, post rubbers, flipper rubbers, rubber rings and post sleeves are UV light resistant and will not yield to drying, cracking, or fading, giving them a much longer lifespan than traditional rubbers.

Available in translucent, black, blue, green, orange, purple, red, white and yellow, our PerfectPlay silicone rubbers will help take your pinball machine to the next level.

Pinball Heaven can supply you with individual PerfectPlay silicon components to help enhance your pinball machine, available in red, black, yellow, green, blue, orange, purple, white & translucent colours.

Complete Silicone Pinball Machine Kits

Pinball Heaven can also supply you with complete silicone pinball machine kits to allow you to fully upgrade all your pinball machine rubbers with state of the art replacements. Using an alternative to rubber and replacing your entire pinball machine with silicone also means you don’t have to clean and wax the playfield as much.

Foo Fighters Pinball Machine – The Pinball Rumour Mill

Foo Fighters pinball machine – Stern’s next announcement?

In tune with the increasing popularity of their music, the last few years has seen the emergence of an increasing number of re-branded Foo Fighters pinball machines, with more than one based on Stern’s 2011 Rolling Stones. However, recent rumours have emerged that an official Stern Pinball Foo Fighters machine is about to be announced. So how true might these rumours be, and if a Foo Fighters pinball does emerge, what might it look like?

11 Grammys & 30 million records worldwide

From their formation by ex-Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl in 1994, Foo Fighters have grown to be one of the most popular rock bands in the world. Along the way the band has released nine studio albums, won 11 Grammy Awards and sold more than 30 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling rock bands of all time.

Given the success of Stern’s other rock-themed pins including Kiss, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Rush, what are the chances of a Foo Fighters pinball being the next big thing to emerge from Elk Grove Village? Before the sad and untimely passing of drummer Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters were at the height of their power, so releasing a pinball machine now would make sense. And Dave Grohl’s close relationship with Paul Stanley of Kiss certainly shortens the odds of a Foo Fighters game being created by Stern. So, what would a Stern Foo Fighters pinball machine look like?

Foo Fighters pinball machine soundtrack

Any self-respecting FF pinball machine would recreate an atmospheric rock concert under glass, featuring the best of their hits including: All My Life, Best of You, Everlong, The Pretender, My Hero, Learn to Fly, Times Like These, Monkey Wrench and Breakout.

The playfield would feature a custom light show, with bespoke designed and dynamically responsive game events for each song.

And how about a 10 band graphic equalizer so you can tune the soundtrack just to your liking?

6 pinballs and 3 flippers, plus a liberal sprinkling of Foo Fighters drop targets, custom steel ramps and pop bumpers, combined with a custom FF logo sculptured bash toy and feature motorised ramp would certainly bring the game to life, as would live playfield concert footage, as employed by Stern on their recent Led Zeppelin, James Bond and Rush pinballs.

So, are we going to see a Stern Foo Fighters pinball machine this year – it certainly is a mouth watering prospect.

The year’s fastest selling pinball machine

These features combined with a choice of Premium, Pro and LE, all benefitting from Stern’s Insider Connected™ might well prove to be the year’s fastest selling pinball machine. But is this just another random rumour rumbling, or is Stern about to make the pinball announcement of the year?

Hear it here first…

Scooby Doo Pinball Machine: Collector’s Edition

Scooby Doo Pinball Machine: Collector’s Edition by Spooky Pinball.

Spooky Pinball has recently announced its Scooby-Doo Where Are You! pinball machine, which is available now to pre-order direct from Pinball Heaven.

Collector’s Edition Features

Scooby Doo Pinball Machine Collector’s Edition further benefits from a more detailed cabinet art package and exclusive playfield sculptured models.

The Collector’s Edition features two ball locks as part of the bottom apron which are fed by ramps, and kick released balls out onto the flippers and there are LED indicators on the apron to show when a ball is locked. There is also a controlled drop target between the flippers to help save the ball, while on the right-hand side the shooter lane is moved away from the playfield edge to allow for a long plastic with indicators colour-coded to Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby.

The upper playfield features two full-size flippers, a bash toy and magnetic ball disruption. It also features a Captain Cutler diving helmet bash toy and two hand standup targets which activate an electromagnet to throw the ball around.
