Our production of Avatar pinball will begin in the middle of August. To capture the full excitement of the 3-D Avatar movie, our pinball has a Sensational 3-D backglass. I can't say often enough - the Avatar backglass is Sensational.
Game play is also great, or to be consistent I must say Sensational. Starting with our last few games, we have changed our design philosophy. Back in the day, as the phrase goes, pinball play was maybe 1/2 skill and 1/2 chance. In the last 2 decades pinball became almost
all skill; great players played very long games, and casual players didn't have enough fun. Our games now have more randomness, with the playfield laid out accordingly and more use of magnets. As the great
pinball designer Harry Williams taught me, "The ball is wild." Now all players have fun and are challenged. Game time is down. Fun is up for all. And earnings are improved.
In Avatar pinball, you as player are the hero Jake Sully. Capture the pinball in the transporter link, a case that reveals a Jake figurine, and transform yourself into his Avatar. Then, after a series of
challenges, get past the motorized up/down target bank protecting Colonel Quaritch and fight the Colonel in his AMP Suit, aiming your pinball at him. As you overtake the Colonel, his AMP Suit crashes to the ground and you save the Na'vi people from total destruction. Avatar
pinball also features a twisting ramp, the magnet for random ball play, and lots of multi-ball action.
Avatar pinball has lots of great sound, including speech and sound effects from the movie as well as original voice over by actor Stephen Lang, who plays Colonel Quaritch in the movie.
As we always do, we have been playing Avatar pinball without art, and tests begin with temporary art, allowing for changes that may still be necessary for final Licensor approval.
