Pinball Game Designers
Pinball games are a family of games in which a ball is propelled into a specially designed table where it bounces off various obstacles, scoring points either en route or when it comes to rest. Historically the board was studded with nails called 'pins' and had hollows or pockets which scored points if the ball came to rest in them. Today, pinball is most commonly an arcade game in which the ball is fired into a specially designed cabinet known as a pinball machine, hitting various lights, bumpers, ramps, and other targets depending on its design. The game's object is generally to score as many points as possible by hitting these targets and making various shots with flippers before the ball is lost. Most pinball machines use one ball per turn (except during special multi-ball phases), and the game ends when the ball(s) from the last turn are lost. The biggest pinball machine manufacturers historically include Bally Manufacturing, Gottlieb, Williams Electronics and Stern Pinba ...

Johnny Mnemonic (pinball)
Johnny Mnemonic is a 4 player pinball machine from August 1995, manufactured by Williams Electronic Games, Inc. A total of 2,756 units were produced. Description Johnny Mnemonic is a 1995 pinball machine based on the movie of the same name, created by George Gomez and Williams Electronics, with artwork by John Youssi. Designer George Gomez had been inspired by author William Gibson's original cyberpunk short story Johnny Mnemonic, but based the game and its features, such as a player-controlled glove that used a magnet to lift the ball off the playfield, on the film's assets. Unfortunately, the film was a box office failure, and its poor showing affected sales of the game despite high pinball ratings. Although, today the movie is considered undervalued. According to inverse.com, Johnny Mnemonic is an overlooked gem in Reeves’ filmography that does deserve to sit in the shadow of The Matrix. In 1995, the Johnny Mnemonic movie didn't become the blockbuster movie that William ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
