Earthshaker (Williams 1989) VPW

GIMME SHELTER!

Prepare to shake, rattle, and roll your way through the epicenter of VPW's latest masterpiece, Earthshaker!  Created by Bally/Williams in 1989 and designed by the seismic duo of Pat Lawlor and Larry Demar, this System 11 pin is a timeless classic.  Break out your Richter scale of fun as VPW is ready to rock your world.

The main objective of Earthshaker is to complete the Earthquake Institute's prediction for today. The predicted zones are lit in the windows of the building toy and to complete each prediction you must visit the lit earthquake zones;

-Zones 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the standup targets

-Zone 5 is the eject hole

-Zone 6 is the loop under the Fault Zone (CA/NV)

-Zones 7 and 8 are the right and left return lanes

-Zone 9 is the captive ball

Once you complete all the predicted zones, a lock is enabled and the bonus multiplier increases! Lock your first ball up the right ramp or in the drop hole. Then lock your second ball up the right ramp, plunge your third ball, and your MULTIBALL will begin!

This tribute to one of pinball's best machines wouldn't exist without the immense talent from VPW and its support.  I may be listed as the project lead, but the true credits go to "tremor-ific" expertise of Apophis, Tomate, Sixtoe, UnclePaulie, TastyWasps, Bord, Benji, Oqqsan, rothbauerw, Fliptronic, Niwak and our quake-tested testers PinStratsDan, Cliffy, Lumi, Darth Vito, Studlygoorite, jarr3, somatic, DGrimmReaper, and Bietekwiet.  Building upon the original works of 32Assassin, I hope you look at the names above and realize how much hard work was done here.  Truly, thank you everyone.     - Friscopinball

So, get your flippers warmed up and get ready to feel like you're right in the middle of a fault line, Earthshaker is the aftershock you've been waiting for.

*Secret Bonus:  Check out the amazing Sinking Institute mod that even original owners didn't get with their pin 🙂
