Name: Pulp Fiction
Brand: Chicago Gaming

The Chicago Gaming Company Pulp Fiction pinball machine is a bold, retro-inspired pinball experience that pays tribute to Quentin Tarantino’s cult classic film with cinematic flair and pure pinball fundamentals. Developed in collaboration with Play Mechanix and designed by legendary pinball designer Mark Ritchie, it blends vintage-style design with modern depth — featuring vibrant RGB lighting, iconic artwork, and an engaging ruleset rooted in classic pinball flow while delivering a fresh, character-driven adventure.

Retro Style Meets Deep, Modern Pinball Gameplay

Pulp Fiction stands out with a deliberately old-school visual identity, 1980s-style alphanumeric scoring displays, and clear, skill-focused shot design. Players move through modes inspired by memorable characters and scenes, lock balls in multiball assemblies like the Pawn Shop and Briefcase, and chase layered objectives including mini-wizard modes and the ultimate “Divine Intervention” wizard mode. The result is a game that feels familiar to vintage players yet rich and strategic enough to reward repeat play.

Key Features & Gameplay Highlights

Official Pulp Fiction license: Packed with over 250 iconic dialogue lines from 19 characters drawn from the film’s legendary cast.
Five licensed soundtrack songs: Includes classics like “Misirlou,” “Jungle Boogie,” and “You Never Can Tell,” pulled directly from the movie’s memorable soundtrack.
Classic pinball soul with modern depth: A clean, open layout reminiscent of vintage games — but with more mechanisms and strategic layers than typical retro machines.
RGB and lighting system: Fully integrated RGB general illumination with lower arch lighting and 15 software-controlled RGB inserts create dynamic, mood-driven lighting effects.
Unique playfield toys & figures: Custom sculpted Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield figures, an interactive briefcase, illuminated gold watch, and “Royale With Cheese” burger add thematic flair.
Multiple multiballs & modes: Includes 5 multiball modes like “Briefcase Boogie” and “Pawn Shop Panic,” 5 roll scene modes, 3 mini-wizard modes, and the climactic “Divine Intervention” wizard mode.
Retro LED display: Alphanumeric scoring displays evoke classic machines while still conveying deep rules and progression.
