Class of 1812 is a pinball machine designed by Ray Tanzer and Joe Kaminkow and released in 1991 by Gottlieb. It features a supernatural monster theme and was advertised with the slogan "Frightful fun for all ages!".[1]
Class of 1812 has a dark theme featuring the reunion of a long dead class. The back glass is a vacuum formed 3D image. During Multiball Madness, a large mechanical beating heart and chattering teeth are synchronized along to chickens clucking the 1812 Overture by Pyotr Tchaikovsky.[2]
The top of the playfield contains upper rollovers that advance bonus multiplier. The white target sequence advances the BAT-O-METER. Completing the left drop-targets lights the ball lock, then it is possible to lock the ball with the right ramp. Completing the C-O-F-F-I-N letters collects a 2 MILLION point jackpot. The playfield contains elements such as for example pop-bumpers, stationary targets, drop-targets, rollovers, ramps, saucer holes and spinners.[3]
The back glass features an image of Lon Chaney from the infamous lost film London After Midnight.
Class of 1812 is available as a licensed table of The Pinball Arcade for several platforms.
