Check this out, The Electric Playground has been working on a custom King Kong Pinball topper they’re calling the Eighth Wonder and I got one of the 1st ones to showcase on the channel! It fits right into Stern Pinball’s King Kong IP they've created with a glowing city skyline, original artwork, and interactive lighting effects that react during gameplay. One of the standout touches is the spotlight on Kong, rip the spinners and a moving shadow stretches across the ceiling, giving your gameroom that larger-than-life Empire State Building vibe. There’s also a 10.5” LCD screen built in that plays hand-drawn animated clips inspired by classic King Kong movie posters, and even lets you load your own videos with an SD card. The artwork (done by Maria Keller) is designed to complement the machine and really ties everything together. Installation is simple too, it took me about 20 minutes and it’s interactive with the game at a reasonable price point!
