Family Guy Pinball Machine was made by Stern Pinball in 2007, and designed by Pat Lawlor and his team at Pat Lawlor Design.
The game features exclusive never before heard phrases by FAMILY GUY show creator, Seth McFarlane. Seth offers up plenty of hysterical lines as Peter Griffin (the father) and Brian Griffin (the family dog). He also voices Stewie Griffin (the baby who wants to take over the world) and other characters from the show. The Family Guy Pinball Machine also features original artwork from the artists who create the FAMILY GUY television show, as well as famed pinball artists John Youssi and Margaret Hudson.
The Family Guy Pinball Machine introduces a unique element to pinball—Stewie’s mini-playfield. Stewie’s mini-playfield is a small pinball playfield that sits in the upper right hand corner of the main playfield. It has mini-flippers that the player controls with the regular flipper buttons when the game is in ‘Stewie mini-playfield’ mode. The mini-playfield even has ramps and targets to shoot at while a toy of Stewie turns on its axis in front of the mini-playfield and taunts the player into believing they have no chance of beating Stewie.
Additional features on the game include:
- character figures of each of the six Griffin family members by Mezco
- The game offers three different adjustable levels of speech (Adult, Moderate and Family).
Toys:
- a Patriot Ale can with a Brian Griffin toy standing on top that can be struck by the ball
- two captive pinballs, which spell out P-I-N-B-A-L-L when struck;
- and plenty of multi-ball features.
