The playfield is designed to simulate an earthquake, complete with a fault line that splits the two states. The artwork is vibrant and detailed, depicting scenes of destruction and chaos typical of an earthquake. Gameplay: Flippers: Three flippers, including an upper playfield flipper, provide players with more control and strategic options.Multiball Modes: The game features multiple multiball modes, adding excitement and scoring opportunities.Shaker Motor: Earthshaker! was the first pinball machine to include a shaker motor, which causes the table to rumble, simulating the feel of an earthquake.Interactive Toys: Includes a rotating target, a vertical up-kicker, and a unique “Earthquake Institute” building that sinks into the playfield in some prototype versions.Sound and Music: The game features a memorable soundtrack and voiceovers, including a distinctive female voice exclaiming “Bitchin’!” which was quite unusual for its time.Special Features: Fault Line: A diverter opens a pathway between California and Nevada, simulating a fault line that the ball can travel through.Sinking Building: Some early versions of the game included a sinking building feature, which was later removed due to cost.Messenger Ball: A unique feature where a ball is sent across the playfield to hit targets and score points.Production and Popularity: Approximately 5,257 units of Earthshaker! were produced, making it a popular and widely recognized machine among pinball enthusiasts. Its combination of innovative features, engaging gameplay, and thematic elements has kept it a favorite over the years All pinball machines listed are currently IN STOCK and ready to sell.
