"Earthshaker," released by Williams in February 1989, is a pinball machine designed by Pat Lawlor, featuring an earthquake theme. This game is notable for being the first pinball machine to include a shaker motor, which shakes the machine during specific gameplay moments, enhancing the immersive experience.
The gameplay centers around the player acting as an earthquake researcher, visiting various zones along the California-Nevada border. Key features include locking balls to initiate multiball and scoring jackpots, with the playfield incorporating distinct California and Nevada sections that split apart during the game.
