Global VR Ultra Pin

The Ultra Pin is digital pinball machine, simulating six conventional tables by Bally and Williams: Attack from Mars, Medieval Madness, F-14 Tomcat, Sorcerer, Xenon, and Strikes and Spares. The actual parts of the machines have been replaced with a 16:9 plasma display, and in place of the standard dot matrix screen, Global VR has substituted a color LCD. To make the Ultra Pin play like a classic machine, however, the company has included force-feedback sensors, which allow players to bump and tilt the playing field. Additional games such as FunHouse and Pin-Bot can be bought in table packs. The cost of the table itself is undisclosed, but given Global's arcade-based market, it may well be several thousand dollars.
