Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End

Pirates of the Caribbean At World['s End], conceived by Roger Shiffman and Marc Rosenberg and designed by John Popadiuk and Chris Nicolella, is a 2007 home pinball machine from Zizzle Arcade Pinball built around the Pirates of the Caribbean movie license. Zizzle held the master toy license for the franchise and licensed it onward to Stern Pinball for Stern's own 2006 commercial 'Pirates of the Caribbean' machine; this Zizzle title followed its own 2006 home release, 'Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest.' Its centerpiece toy is a stationary treasure chest, which replaced an originally planned Flying Dutchman ship model.

Gameplay-wise, the machine offers two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, two standup targets, and a separate spinning target, all powered by an LCD scoring display and LED game lighting. Music, sound effects, and speech add to the atmosphere, along with an end-of-ball bonus score and a tilt that ends the ball in play.

The wood playfield uses heat-transfer laminate artwork, paired with an injection-molded backbox, ramps, and playfield inserts. The cabinet is advertised at 34 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 54 inches high, running on a 110v/220v transformer. Like its Zizzle stablemate 'Marvel Super Heroes,' the game's design was protected under Design Patent D579,055, granted in October 2008 to John Popadiuk Jr. and co-designers.
