RIPLEY'S... BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
2003 Stern
PRIVATELY USED MACHINE!  NEVER IN AN ARCADE!


Travel the world with... RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT!  This game was produced in 2003 by Stern Pinball, the ONLY manufacturer of pinball machines left on the planet. Williams stopped making pinball machines in 1999 and Stern Pinball really filled the void with great modern titles like Simpson's Pinball Party, Spiderman and Ripley's.  This particular game was never used commercially.  It had just under 150 plays on it when the pictures were taken, so it's as close to a brand new game as you can get.  This game capitalizes on the popular franchise founded by Robert Ripley, which deals in bizarre events and items so strange and unusual that the claims were often hard to believe.  The Ripley franchise has been adapted into a wide variety of formats, including radio, television, a chain of museums, and a book series and finally... a pinball machine!  Stern really had a massive hit on it's hands when this game was released and it is still one of the most popular games of the modern era for true pinball enthusiasts.  The playfield layout on this game is truly magnificent!

You'll love the musical sound track and voice of the narrator as you are challenged to perform your playfield tasks.  You main objective is to join Robert Ripley on a quest to visit the seven continents of the world and collect strange and unusual objects.  Shoot your ball into the VARI-TARGET to visit a continent and you'll be instructed on what to collect.  Collect the indicated objects to be awarded a Ripley letter.  Collect items from all seven continents and you'll get to visit the mystery 8th continent in the wizard round!  There is also a SHRUNKEN HEAD on the playfield.  Shoot at it continuously and it will become lit for a ball lock feature.  Lock all balls and start a MULTI-BALL FRENZY round!  Shoot for the ramps and loops during multi-ball for huge JACKPOT awards!  Collect enough jackpots and the SUPER JACKPOT will light up!  This game has  RAMPS, spinners, magnets, a VAR-TARGET, SLOT-MACHINE, loads of rollovers and stationary targets, loop shots and LOTS MORE!  I'm not going to tell you everything about this game... you'll need to find out for yourself!  You'll never be bored with this immensely challenging playfield and the great theme and fabulous artwork makes it a must-have for any home gameroom!

Since this is as close to a brand new game as you can get, I won't go into great detail on the condition.  This game looks and smells brand new and you will not be disappointed!  There are very few brand new Ripley's Believe It Or Not games left for purchase, quite possibly none to be found, and you can own a gently used showroom demo model that still looks like a brand new game!
