Stern's official press release:
At last…The King of Rock n' Roll® meets The King of Pinball! ELVIS® ,
the new pinball machine from Stern Pinball, Inc., is the first pinball
ever to brandish the Elvis name and was designed by pinball's leading
designer, Steve Ritchie.
The ELVIS® pinball machine is a celebration of the music, the life, and
the legendary legacy of The King of Rock n' Roll®. Elvis collectors,
pinball collectors, and operators alike will have to have this pinball.
In the ELVIS® pinball machine Elvis sings, “See See Rider,” “Blue Suede
Shoes,” “All Shook Up,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” “Heartbreak
Hotel,” and “Burning Love.” Actual recordings are used from the famed
“'68 Comeback” television special, as well as the “Aloha from Hawaii ”
television special. It's actually Elvis singing!
ELVIS® sings and dances! A mechanical Elvis with shaking hips and
gesturing hands moves forward and back in perfect sync with real Elvis
tunes, bringing the microphone to The King Of Rock & Roll's® lips every
time he sings a phrase! This incredible effect of Elvis dancing and
singing is highlighted with re-mixed high quality sound tracks that draw
people into the game. ELVIS® IS THE MOST MUSICAL PINBALL EVER CREATED!
In addition to the mechanical Elvis, the mechanical-action toys on the
pinball include: a jailhouse (Jailhouse Rock); a Hound Dog that the
player sends up a pole when hit; a five bank of drop target; and a
Heartbreak Hotel with an opening front door on a clear Lexan
second-level playfield.
The object of ELVIS® is to collect Elvis songs, win the Top-Ten
Countdown, and collect points by spelling out the name E-L-V-I-S. The
player can then compete for the highest reward…a trip to Graceland !
Jerry Vanderstelt, the incredible artist behind THE LORD OF THE RINGS™,
hand painted the artwork for ELVIS®. Al Dvorin, Elvis' tour manager and
bandleader lends his voice as one of the game's announcers. Performer
Jamie Kelley provides an Elvis sound-alike speaking voice for "Elvis
commentary" heard as one plays the game. And the singing is by Elvis
himself.
Steve Ritchie says, “ ELVIS® is a nice blend of rules and action for the
average player, with some forgiveness for the novice, as well as depth
of rules that good players and collectors want for sustained play
interest. The ELVIS® design incorporates the most toys I have ever
assembled into one game.
“We have addressed operator issues wherever possible. With four flippers
and a magnet that sets up a loop flip, two genuine eject saucers, as
well as smooth shots, the game is packed with mechanical and software
features. When Elvis sings and dances people pay attention! ELVIS® is
fun to play, hear, and watch.”
Gary Stern says, “What more can I say-It's Elvis!”
The ELVIS® pinball machine is available UL, CUL and CE approved, as
applicable.
The ELVIS® pinball machine will begin shipping at the end of August,
2004.
