Multimorphic (http://www.multimorphic.com), co-winner of last year's "Best Exhibit" award will be back with another showcase of new pinball designers and their P-ROC-based custom machines. A few of last year's favorites are coming back to show off their progress (Wrath of Olympus, The Kuglers, and DeadPin), and they'll be joined by a number of new entrants to the custom pinball arena. Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Earthshaker Aftershock, a custom EM conversion of Big Shot, and a few yet-to-be-revealed-to-the-public projects will be available for play throughout the show, and their designers will be there to walk you through their designs and offer advice for your custom pinball projects.

In addition, Multimorphic is promising to bring pre-production units of Lexy Lightspeed - Galaxy Girl, the first game for their revolutionary P3 Pinball Platform, which delivers a traditional pinball experience while opening the door for gameplay features that simply aren't possible on traditional-style machines. Interactive playfield artwork, a fully working 8-ball physical ball lock, swappable cabinet artwork, and modular and easy-to-service physical mechanisms are just a few of the new features you can experience on the P3. LL-GG is expected to arrive at Expo fully playable and nearly 100% complete. The Multimorphic team will also be there to answer all of your questions about LL-GG, the P3, and how they're helping to shape the future of pinball and pinball machine designs.
Attend the LTG Presentation featuring Lloyd Olson and the surprises it offers!

Play the World's Largest Pinball Machine made by Atari, Hercules!!!
