Earthshaker! is a pinball game designed by Pat Lawlor and released by Williams Electronics in 1989. The game features an earthquake theme and was advertised with the slogan "It's a Moving Experience!" Some prototypes have a building that when the shaker motor is activated will fall down but the team removed it due to cost savings.[1]

Earthshaker! was the first pinball machine with a shaker motor that causes the table to rumble along with the theme of the game.[2][3][4][5]
