Pulp Fiction Special Edition
Pulp Fiction Special Edition by Chicago Gaming Company is a retro-inspired full-featured modern pinball machine. Developed at the request of Quentin Tarantino, who wanted a 1980’s style Pulp Fiction themed pinball machine for his home.
Quentin Tarantino
Released in 1994, Pulp Fiction was Quentin Tarantino’s second film. The dark comedy crime thriller was a major success with critics and audiences alike, winning numerous awards including the Palme d’Or.
Pulp Fiction was nominated for seven awards at the 67th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. It also earned John Travolta, Samuel L Jackson, and Uma Thurman Academy Award nominations.
It is also widely accepted that the film’s development, marketing, distribution, and profitability had a sweeping effect on independent cinema.
Quentin Tarantino rarely licenses his intellectual property, so it was a unique privilege for Chicago Gaming to produce a game which pays tribute to his 1994 masterpiece, and Tarantino’s continued involvement throughout the project shaped the final game.
Williams Mechanisms & Chicago Gaming Electronics
Pulp Fiction Special Edition features original time-tested Williams standard pinball mechanisms, coupled with highly reliable Chicago Gaming Company electronics.
The game uses alpha-numeric LED displays rather than a dot-matrix display or an LCD panel, meaning there will be no clips from the movie displayed. However, the game does feature more than 250 sound samples from 19 different characters. It also includes five music tracks featured in the film – Comanche, Jungle Boogie, Misirlou, Son of a Preacher Man and You Never Can Tell.
Much like the film, the Pulp Fiction Special Edition pinball machine has a true retro feel and is a throwback to an age before ramps were mandatory, with most of the action taking place at playfield level. Adding to the appeal the cabinet artwork is also retro-looking, with a three-colour design giving a stencilled appearance.
