Venom

Overview

Venom is one of the three Marvel pinball tables that are part of the Heavy Hitters pack, and was released in 2014 for Zen Pinball 2, Pinball FX 2 and Pinball FX 3. It is based on the titular super-villain, enemy of Spider-Man and later anti-hero, and explores the various characters, conflicts and events resulting from the alien symbiote responsible for his inception.

-The complex, multi-leveled layout shares many similarities to Bally's 1988 pinball machine, Blackwater 100. While Bally's table was a decidedly multiball-based affair, Venom primarily focuses on translating single-ball rules into a complex playfield layout.

-The Jailbreak mini-playfield shares a similar layout to Williams' unique Varkon pinball machine - notable for being a pinball machine in an arcade-style cabinet. Both layouts have five targets in the center, and a short but difficult ramp shot to the side.

-The Spider-Sense outlane save feature has a real-life equivalent in Bally's Centaur, where balls that drain down either outlane can be saved if the player nudges the machine with just the right amount of strength.
