Stern Electronics Debuts
"FREEFALL" Pinball Game
Stern Electronics, Inc. announces plans for international distribution of a
new solid-state four-player pinball game - FREEFALL - scheduled for
release in mid-February.
Designed by pinball industry pioneer Harry Williams, FREEFALL
features multiple ball play. A bonus feature picks up and transports the
ball across the playfield - by tramway - to an elevated launch site.
The ball accumulator is activated following completion of the "skydiver''
scoring sequence and can launch as many as three balls simultaneously
onto the playfield.
FREE FALL'S three-dimensional, richly-colored backglass of azure
blues, shaded to deep purples and other dawn-to-dusk sky colors,
emphasizes the game's ethereal theme - depicting celestial winged
nymphs free-floating under an impressionistic, scripted logo.
Among scoring features are:
"Lighted line selector changer," innovative player-controlled option
enables player - by depressing both flippers - to change lighted
line selector on bonus multiplier scoring feature
Bonus multiplier increases point value up to 14x.
Numerical drop targets score 10,000 points or, if made in sequence,
score 50,000 points.
Twenty-word vocabulary signals game "TAKE OFF," identifies players
1, 2, 3 and 4, and alerts player to completion of sequenced scoring
features.
FREEFALL'S advanced solid-state electronic system was designed and
manufactured by Universal Research Laboratories, Inc., a Stern
subsidiary.
Stern Electronics, a Chicago-based company, is a leading
manufacturer of solid-state pinball, video games and other coin-
operated amusement games. Its Seeburg division manufactures
coin-operated solid-state phonographs.
