00:26 And of course, it's got what is going to be the most famous shark in pinball.
00:32 You all know that I'm very proud of the development studio here at Stern Pinball.
00:36 This comes from the monster makers, the guys that gave you Jurassic Park and
00:41 Godzilla.

01:04 Wait till you see the effect on the play field.
01:06 Firing the harpoon at the shark fin is just the beginning of your
01:10 epic battle against the Great White.
01:12 Of course, the Great White is the star of the show and
01:15 the focus of your epic battle.
01:17 On the pro game, he's shown busting out of a shark cage.
01:21 And on the premium and limited edition,
01:23 you'll have to fight to get him to come out from under the play field.
