    Ripley’s Believe It or Not!  (2004): This is possibly the most complex table to come from legendary pinball designer Pat Lawlor (who also created Funhouse and Addams Family). It allows players to travel with Robert Ripley across seven continents to discover the strange, the bizarre, and the unusual! The goal was to make a pinball machine that appeals to the casual player as well as the expert, which is accomplished through a special feature aptly entitled \”Believe it or Not.\” This multi-level rule enables the beginning player to achieve some of the game’s goals early on and earn frequent multi-ball modes, while allowing the more advanced player to extend their opportunities through better play.

    Last Action Hero™ (1993): This action-packed pinball powerhouse harbours the license for the summer blockbuster hit movie of the same name. The table’s feature filled design was created by Tim Seckel, Joe Kaminkow, Ed Cebula, and John Borg. This game completely captures the intensity, comedic tones, and cast of characters from the film. Notable play-field sections include the motorised Super Crane™, game controlled magnets which activate during multi-ball events, the Ripper lane which accelerates a shot ball on returns, and the Smart Missile button above the slick black coloured gun-shaped launcher. 5,505 units of this table were produced.
