Creature from the Black Lagoon Manufacturer Midway Release date December 1992 System Midway WPC (Fliptronics II) Design John Trudeau Programming Jeff Johnson Artwork Kevin O'Connor Mechanics Ernie Pizarro Music Paul Heitsch Sound Paul Heitsch Voices Matt Booty, Paul Heitsch, Jeff Johnson, Allison Quant Production Run 7,841 Creature from the Black Lagoon is a pinball machine designed by John Trudeau ("Dr. Flash") and released by Midway (under the Bally brand name). It is loosely based on the movie of the same name. The game's theme is 1950's drive-in theater. Its major feature is a holographic creature, set in the middle of the playfield, that lights up and waves its "hand" back and forth during multiball play. The holograph is set behind a green plastic insert, so that the monster appears green. The game was licensed from Universal Studios by Bally so that the backglass artwork, the cabinet artwork, and the creature looked like the original movie actors and monsters.
