Creature from the Black Lagoon Pinball Machine
Own the pinball machine that made history! Creature from the Black Lagoon was the first pinball machine to feature an Animated 3-D Hologram! As a part of the storyline of the playfield you have a chance to unlock the 3-D holographic animation which reveals the Gill-man creature in shocking realism!
You’ll be stunned to learn that in addition to historic 3-D Hologram technology, this pinball machine also features Creature movie scenes and gives multiple opportunities for players to participate in the playfield story! This is a rich play experience as would be expected from a newer machine with solid state electronics on board.
It’s no surprise that this machine was originally manufactured in 1992, a full 40 years after the original movie was released in 1954! This makes Creature from the Black Lagoon a modern pinball machine with extremely robust gameplay features and all the bells and whistles you would expect from a movie pinball machine.
The game was designed by John Trudeau and the software was done by Jeff Johnson The artwork was done by Kevin O’Connor

Reel Excitement! Real Profits!
AMAZING! The drive-in classic of the ’50s is now classic pinball for the ’90s!
Only Bally could combine the excitement of Universal’s classic monster flick with the fun of a drive-in movie date. And when nostalgia meets high-tech pinball wizardry, the results are breathtaking!

ASTOUNDING! Licensed rocking ’50s soundtrack and the original Universal CREATURE!
Five fifties’ favorites — including “Get a Job” and “Rock Around the Clock” — play on a three-per-day rotation for variety and increased nostalgia appeal.
And shattering sound effects, including movie dialogue, make CREATURE Bally’s biggest splash hit yet!
STARTLING! Animated 3-D CREATURE hologram!
Holographic technology reaches pinball for the first time ever. Following the completion of the chase-and-rescue sequence, the CREATURE appears at the bottom of h is own black lagoon, reaching out with slime-covered flippers to take a swipe at players in incredible 3-D realism.

Dot-Mation sequences feature CREATURE movie scenes, and also give players an opportunity to kiss their dates, punch out a Peeping Tom, order from the snack bar, get revenge on a view-blocking van and rack up Big Millions, Mega Millions and Unlimited Millions!
