Waterworld

Waterworld, released by Premier Technology (using the Gottlieb trade name) in October 1995, is a solid-state electronic pinball machine designed by Ray Tanzer and Jon Norris, based on Kevin Reynolds' blockbuster film starring Kevin Costner and Jeanne Tripplehorn. It was one of several licensed movie-theme pinball machines released during the 1990s, with 1,500 units confirmed produced.

The gameplay on Waterworld features standard Gottlieb System 3-era mechanics of the period, including ramps, targets, and multiball capability. The playfield art and dot-matrix animations, credited to Scott Melchionda, Rand Paulin, Vecennia Jordan, and Alycen Hareas, aim to represent the film's post-apocalyptic ocean setting.

As one of a wave of Hollywood movie tie-ins in 1990s pinball, Waterworld remains a recognizable piece of pinball history for its connection to the high-profile (and famously expensive) 1995 film.
