But for the really big points you needed to start all five together. Do you cash in the multiball, or try to get more lined up before starting it? Starting a new multiball from within a multiball was fine, it increased the jackpot and you received a new ball save. There were lots of multiballs and hardly any modes, but it did include a thought provoking risk/reward strategy. The solid state Sega Godzilla was marketed as “The Meanest, Greenest Game on the Street!” and featured 4 balls, 2 flippers, 4 ‘radioactive breath’ magnets, 6 multiballs, including wizard mode, and a shaker motor. The Sega pinball machine expands on the film plot, with the surviving Godzilla egg hatching and once again putting New York under attack.ĭesigned by Joe Balcer, with artwork by Morgan Weistling and software by Neil Falconer and Orin Day, only 516 Godzilla pinball machines were ever produced.

One of the creatures, Godzilla, travels to New York, causing mayhem along the way and is eventually killed. ![]() In the 1888 film an iguana nest is exposed to the fallout of a nuclear test in the South Pacific. Little has been heard since, but recent rumours suggest that Godzilla could now be Stern’s next release. However, news broke later in the year that Stern Pinball had secured the Godzilla licence. Charlie Emery, who runs Spooky Pinball, is a huge Godzilla fan and when he dropped a hint on the Spooky Podcast that they had secured a new licencing deal, the consensus was that it must be Godzilla. Three years ago it was rumoured that Spooky Pinball was set to produce the new Godzilla pinball. However, the 2014 American film release saw no accompanying pinball launch, and rumours of a forthcoming Godzilla pin have been circulating ever since. The 1998 American film release was accompanied by the launch of Sega’s now classic Godzilla pinball machine. Godzilla is recognized by Guinness World Records as the longest continuously running movie franchise in history, having been in on-going production from 1954 to the present day a total of 28 Japanese films, plus two American films released in 19 have been produced.
