Starship Troopers is a pinball arcade game released by Sega Pinball in 1997. The game is based on 1997 movie of the same name.[1]

Description

The player as a member of the mobile infantry has to free six bug-infested planets and then to capture the Brain Bug. There are different species of insects: Warriors, Plasma Bugs, Hoppers and Tankers.[2]

The game has several multiball modes[3] and very fast gameplay.[4] The playfield contains a moving Warrior Bug and a Brain Bug pop-up.[1]

Digital versions

Starship Troopers is available as a licensed table in The Pinball Arcade. Sega logos and a cameo by Sonic the Hedgehog in the match sequence are removed from the table because of licensing issues.
