Stern Pinball Announces New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pinball Machines! https://sternpinball.com/game/tmnt/

CHICAGO, IL – May 27, 2020 – Stern Pinball, Inc., a global lifestyle brand based on the iconic and outrageously fun modern American game of pinball, announced today the availability of a new line of pinball machines based on Nickelodeon’s iconic animated hit television series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pinball machines will be available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE) models.

Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, trained in the art of ninjutsu by their wise rat sensei, Master Splinter. Is New York City ready for these radical reptile brothers? With a sick sewer lair and tough friends like April O'Neil and Casey Jones, the Turtles are about to face evils more dangerous and pizza more delicious than anything they could have ever imagined. In this pinball adventure players will go to battle as the Turtles fight villains like Shredder, the Krang and loads of super-powerful mutants, to become the heroes they were destined to be, and have loads of fun along the way!

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles began as a comic book, morphed into a hit animated show, and has grown into a beloved and iconic global pop culture phenomenon. We have worked directly with Nickelodeon to bring these heroes in a half-shell into the pinball dimension. This game has pure pinball power,” said Gary Stern, Chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball, Inc.

The Premium and Limited Edition models feature an interactive custom sculpted Turtles Van, equipped to lock up to 4 balls inside with a mechanical opening/closing side door, ready to unleash multiball havoc upon players. These models also feature the iconic TMNT Glider, a custom-sculpted, player-controlled diverter assembly stationed above both ramps, giving players the ability to control and transport the ball to the flipper of their choice. In addition, a custom-sculpted mechanical Krang toy hovers over the pop bumpers, jumping up and down while taunting players throughout game action.

The Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition models all feature distinct hand-drawn art in addition to a high speed magnetic spinning pizza disc capable of holding and throwing 3 balls during pizza multiball mayhem. The original 1987 theme music complements the action with custom video scenes and events created exclusively for this pinball experience. All models include 3 flippers, 3 high speed ramps, and a hidden ninja training ball lock area.

The LE model is limited to 500 units globally. The LE model includes additional unique features such as an exclusive mirrored backglass, exclusive custom themed cabinet artwork, a custom autographed bottom arch, exclusive custom art blades, upgraded audio system, anti-reflection pinball glass, a shaker motor, and a sequentially numbered plaque.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pinball machines are available through authorized Stern Pinball distributors and dealers around the world.

Considered one of the most popular kids’ television programs of the 1980s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a classic, global property created in 1984 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. It first debuted as a successful comic book series and then became a hit animated TV show, a live-action television series and later spawned numerous blockbuster theatrical releases. The property is a global consumer products powerhouse, winning in every category that has hit shelves to date—with toys, apparel, video games, DVDs and more—and generating billions of dollars at retail.

The Incredible History of Tetris

Arcade Spotlight #4 - TETRIS

- Designed by Alexey Pajitnov in 1984 while working for Dorodnitsyn Computing Center of the Soviet Academy of Science based in Moscow. He designed it as more of a hobby then to make money.

- Alexey named it Tetris, a combination of Tetra which is Latin for "Four" which signifies how many boxes are in each Tetris piece and tennis which is Alexey's favorite sport.

- Tetris was the first software created in the Soviet Union to be sold in the US.

- Because Alexey created Tetris in the Soviet Union, his intellectual property became property of the State and did not receive any royalties from the game until 1996.

- The Tetris we have here at Alpha Amusements is an original cabinet from my Grandfathers Arcade and is still in amazing shape for being over 30 years old.

If you want to learn more about Tetris here is a short Youtube video! We will see you next week with more Arcade Spotlight!

Arcade Spotlight #3

Bubble Hockey!

- Table Hockey, the earliest version of bubble hockey was developed in 1932 by Donald H. Munro Sr. in Toronto Canada.

- The modern version of Bubble Hockey was developed in 1982 by Innovative Concepts in Entertainment or ICE. The first game shipped on Feb 3 1983 and sold 5000 units in their first year alone.

- The first game concept has the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team fare off against the Russian Hockey team. This historical hockey game was better known as the Miracle on Ice.

- The later version (1993) Super Chexx changed the USA opponent to the Canada well as including some other updates.

- Innovative Concepts in Entertainment still manufacturers Super Chexx Bubble Hockeys today. One of the best innovations is the use of LCD screens as score boards. Also you can now customize your games to feature any NHL or Minor league hockey team!

Here at Alpha we have a couple different Bubble Hockey versions but our most popular is the Red Wings vs. the Maple Leafs! Contact us today to reserve a Bubble Hockey for your upcoming event!

Arcade Spotlight #2

Donkey Kong

- Created by Shigeru Miyamoto and released by Nintendo in 1981. Miyamoto is also responsible for the creation of Super Mario Brothers as well as a personal favorite of mine, The Legend of Zelda.

- the origins of the name Donkey Kong stem from a play off King Kong, and Donkey is a reflection of the stubborn nature of the ape.

- Shigeru Miyamoto was the first to create the characters of Donkey Kong and his counterpart in the game "Jumpman" whose name was changed later by Nintendo America to "Mario" after the Nintendo America's warehouse landlord Mario Segale.

- The female that needs to be rescued in this game is Mario's girlfriend Pauline. Mario has since moved on from Pauline and is now dating Princess Peach.

- Due to a glitch, Donkey Kong has no official ending. The timer on the 22nd level is too short for the level to be completed so once the timer runs out the game ends.

Alpha Amusements original Donkey Kong is a great throw back to the early arcade days of the 80's. This game is one of our most popular titles so if you would like to rent Donkey Kong for your next event, contact us today!

Arcade Game Spotlight!

Starting today, April 1, we are going to pick one of our games available for rental and do a quick history of that game!

We figured the best place to start is with one of our biggest and most iconic games of all time... PAC-MAN!

- Pac-man was released in 1980 by Namco, but was published by Midway.

-It was developed by Toru Iwatini when he was 27 years old. Toru wanted to create a game that did not emphasize violence and also appealed to a broader audience. He was inspired to create Pac-man after looking at a pizza with 2 slices missing. The game concept was inspired by food and eating as opposed to shooting games which dominated the arcades at the time.

- The name for Pac-man was originally Puck Man but the name was changed due to concerns over potential vandalizing of the game in changing the letters around.

- The game sold 350,000 in the first 18 months and retailed for roughly $2400 making Pac-man one of the most successful arcade games of all time!

Here at Alpha Amusements our original Pac-man game is going thru a restoration, however, we have our World's Largest Pac-man available to rent for your next event!

Just a quick word about the current situation in the world.

Alpha Amusements already has steps to ensure our games are as clean as possible. One of our current procedures is to wipe down our games before and after an event with Clorox bleach wipes. This started out of concern for the flu and other illnesses. Also, our games are also stored in a secured warehouse that is not open to the public. We are also looking into providing hand sanitizing stations for our clients and their guests to use at events where our games are present, however, they are proving difficult to find.

If you have an event scheduled with us please just let us know what is going on. We are more then willing to work with you if you need to reschedule. If you are considering using us in the future, I hope you still do. Things look a little bleak right now but the future looks bright! Stay safe out there.

- Chris Pascaretti; V.P. of Alpha Amusements
