Full Description

CGC’s Pulp Fiction Pinball is a game that stands on its own in most people’s lineups and now collectors will be able to take their games to the next level with the inclusion of this custom topper and limited edition badging! 

Bringing the thrills of the in-game experience to the tops of games everywhere, this unique topper experience ties directly into the game’s GI and multiball lighting to mimic all of the game’s rich colors and light sequences.

Players and viewers alike will see (and hear!) when its time to collect the playfield multiplier with the toppers first-of-its-kind “Double Tap” feature that releases a physical pinball accompanied by custom gunshot SFX, and dynamic muzzle lighting when activated in-game and during various multiballs. Powered by custom-mounted speakers on each side of the topper, the gunshot SFX are fully adjustable using the volume control knob on the back.   

Once again we have partnered with Brad Albright to create a Pulp Fiction world, centered around a multi-layered “Diner Scene” that captures the intensity of the movie’s final sequence. Bookended by ominous Jules and Vincent silhouettes and anchored by Butch’s weapon of choice, the custom art package is printed on 11 art panels and is backed by a mirror finish cloud layer and katana blade that matches the game’s translite.

Each topper is accompanied by limited “Double Tap” edition magnetic apron badging that will help set your game apart and show off your chosen production number. Numbers can be chosen when the final payment is due and are available on a first-come, first-serve basis (starting with early waitlist members in order of waitlist signup).

Finally, giving something to those Bad Mother Flipper edition owners to be jealous about!  

Feature List

• Industry-first pinball action + SFX built into a pinball topper, activated by the game

• Jules and Vincent “Double Tap” Gunshot Ball action, SFX, and muzzle flash lightshow when the Playfield Multiplier is ready to collect (activated by the flasher below the watch) and during various multiball lightshows

• This unique “Double Tap” feature acts as an audio queue to collect the playfield multiplier when it’s available, which can be built up to 6x in the game.

• The audio volume can be adjusted (or turned off completely) via a knob on the back of the topper. The audio plays approximately every 30 seconds while the gun flasher is lit, a frequency we found is just often enough to remind you to collect this important feature, but not feel overly repetitive.

• Includes 650+ controlled LEDs. Topper Lighting is synced with the GI and Multiball Lighting in the game, bringing the exact same deep green, yellow, red, ultraviolet and rainbow light shows features in the various multiballs into the topper’s general illumination. Leveraging the unique layering of art in the topper, these colored lightshows create dynamic scenes that bring the ominous character of Jules and Vincent to life on the topper

• Mirror finish Katana blade captures the moment Butch and Marsellus make their way out of the pawn shop and honors Tarrantio’s fan favorite “Kill Bill”

FAQ

This will be updated periodically as new questions come up.

What causes the ball (and related SFX and lighting) to occur, and how often does it occur?

To activate the “Double Tap” ball action, the player must hit both Big Kahuna Bonus targets (near the upper pop bumpers) t o light the Playfield multiplier target on the right, underneath the Watch. When this target is active the gun flashes until the bonus multiplier is collected. While the flasher is active, the “Double Tap” ball action will execute every 30 seconds, until the playfield multiplier target is hit, or when the ball ends. This flasher generally only flashes in one other scenario, the “Gold Watch” mode, so the ball action will occur during that mode as well. There are a few cases in some of the deeper stages of the mini-wizard modes and the wizard mode where this flasher will light up as well.
