Matthew Vaughn joins Elton for a special episode of Rocket Hour

These are the words you hear upon starting up a session on the brand-new Elton John Pinball machine. Released this week, the game is an immersive and magnificent adventure set to no less than 16 Elton songs that transport the player to the front row of his live performances.

Created by the Jersey Jack Pinball company, who for the past ten years have been coming up with pop culture-themed tables that founder Jack Guarnieri fondly calls “not your grandfather’s pinball machines. Our games are known as ‘playable artwork’.”

This is no more evident than when Jack describes the Elton John Pinball playing experience during an exclusive interview with EltonJohn.com: “When you start the game, you pick which song you want to play. So, you can be playing Rocket Man and have a different light show than, say, Bennie And The Jets. We have RGB (red, green, blue) LEDs – the lights can be billions of colors. There are almost 1,600 of them in our Collector’s Edition game. Every game has a different light show – and different modes in the game have different light shows.
