Godzilla Pinball Machine by Sega Pinball

Godzilla by Sega January 1998, was designed by Joe Balcer with software by Neil Falconer and Orin Day; art by Morgan Weistling. Only 510 were made, It has 4 balls, 2 flippers, 4 ‘radioactive breath’ magnets, 6 multiballs (including wizard mode), and a shaker motor. I saw it described on Pinside as “a system 11 rule set in a DMD game”

This machine was made to cash in on the 1998 Godzilla film. Well, it wasn’t the best of films, but the pinball machine is actually enjoyable (see also Johnny Mnemonic, Congo, The Shadow, the Flintstones....). Film relevance to pin: New York is under attack, there’s a taxi chase, a surviving egg hatches into baby Godzilla. And there’s a helicopter at some point. I expect somewhere in the film there must be sonar as well.
