Had to get one after the code updated to 1.41.
With the final touch of that code update it really made it hard for me not to get one....until I got one.
Right decision in every way. I love it period.

Spider-Man VE Stern, 2016
Well, it's Stern's Spiderman. A very good solid game to say at least. Buttersmooth shots and always fun to play. I like the VE the most because it looks so nice an I really dislike the photoshopped art on the original one. The only thing that bothers me is the music. I think it is a bit repetitive and it doesn't really catch me. But that's just my personal opinion.

Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast (Premium) Stern, 2018
What a game. I always get an adrenaline rush while playing. Love those ramps so much. Love the sarcophagus lock. Great addition to my ACDC & Metallica. Will not leave me anywhere soon.

Metallica (Premium) Stern, 2013
I just can't think of anything bad on this machine. One of the pins that are just perfect to me in every way.

Munsters (Pro) Stern, 2019
I love games like Iron Man. Short in your face games with risk reward. Cranking the multiplier up to cash in your stacked Jackpots is very fun to me and that's why I like ACDC & Metallica so much. My kids love it too. Makes them smile while playing when Herman animations are playing. Love shooting those ramps too and progressing in Munster Madness a bit further every time I reach it makes me want to try it again. It grows on me every day.

The Hobbit Jersey Jack, 2016
Didn't like it at all when it came out. UNTIL I got to play it a lot at a friends place. It really grew on my and I had to own one asap. It brought real change to my collection.

Wizard of Oz Jersey Jack, 2013
A friend has one. I was really excited to visit him to play this WOZ machine for the first time. Now that's about 6 months ago and I really wanted to give it a chance and played one game every time I was at my friend's house. But EVERY TIME it ends the same way. I play ONE game and I walk away. I often even don't play the 3rd ball because I just don't like it.
It is a quality built game, don't get me wrong. But the theme sucks to me and it just has too much bling for my taste. And i think the playfield is really overpopulated. I just like flow games better.

The Machine: Bride of Pinbot Williams, 1991
It's good to play it one time or another. But IMO it is a make one shot over and over and over again game. It just doesn't get me.

Avatar (Pro) Stern, 2010
I had a pro and miss it very often. If I can find a nice one again, I'll definitely keep it this time.
It gives me that I am in the deep of the jungle feeling because of the gret sound effects and ambiance.
Gameplay is really great. Love the ramp, love the AMP suit shot with the magnet and the 3 bank. Love the lock system for the link multiball too.
I like the challenge of: you drain you fail. Just like in Ironman you have to get everything done with one ball. Which also means even if your first 2 balls sucked you still can get to the wizard mode with the 3rd one.

Transformers (Pro) Stern, 2011
What can I say. I owned it 4 times. The first 2 ones were PRO's. When I wanted a TF back a 3rd time I decided to go LE. But since I was used to the fantastic flow of the PRO I sold the LE and after that I bought my 4th Transformers. But this time a PRO again.
So no need to mention how much I LOOOOVE everything about this game. The flow, the sounds, the music, the shots feel so good, I like how it looks,…..
Only thing I don't like is the fact that it's too dark with overall GI light. But I put bright LED's in and now it is perfect to me.
VERY underrated game IMO. Kids like it too.

The Walking Dead (Pro) Stern, 2014
Got it since it came out. Love it more every day because it has this one more play effect. Combos are a huge fun factor and the sound effects are incredibly good. Dots are fantastic and the shots feel just right.
With finished code this will be one of sterns greatest games in my opinion.
There is really only one thing that distracts me a little and that is the non integration of speech of the actors from the show.

24 Stern, 2009
People will call me crazy but I LOVE the show and I LOVE the pinball machine!
I think it has the Steve Richie feel. It has a great flow, really cool toys and I can make visible real locks on a ramp in a opening and closing suitcase. There is a house that explodes with nice lighting effects. I think the modes are well done the shots feel good and I love the sound fx and the music even if it is not the real TV show theme.
For me an underrated game. I'd even buy a Vault edition rerun of this game!

Mustang (Pro) Stern, 2014
I played it and I had to buy it. The creature feature ramp is really really fun. I love that you can stack your multiball up to 6 balls and activate it whenever you want whether with 3, 4, 5 or wait until you stacked 6 balls.
The only thing that really is annoying is the lame music. But with pinball browser I just changed every track that I didn't like. Now it is a real blast for me and I can't get enough. When I first saw it I was a little disappointed (maybe also because the car in the middle did nothing) and couldn't imagine buying that thing. But after playing it more and more with the latest code I had to get one.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Stern, 2008
I owned it and I loved it. I love the skull lock toy and the microscope magnet. Lots of toys in a game is always a pleasure for me.
I sold it and not even a month later I really missed it. I will definitely purchase one again if I can find a decent one.

Pirates of the Caribbean Stern, 2006
Often said that it is a stop and go gameplay. Well it's true but it never bothered me because I just love the atmosphere that comes with the game. And I just love the toys and there are lots of them. Giant ramp, spinner, the sinking and wiggling ship, the treasure chest opens and closes…
A pinball machine for people that love to have lots of toys in a game!

The Getaway: High Speed II Williams, 1992
An always fun classic for me. Even though the rules are not really that deep the game always attracts me. A game that I would maybe never play for hours and hours but from time to time but that for sure.
The shots feel very good and the ramp toy is a cool feature. Also having real locked balls is always nice!

Iron Man Stern, 2010
One of my favorites!!! I love Iron man! I love the pin!
I love those 2 ramp shots and the 2 magnets! And of course I love the Iron monger toy!
If you like fast and merciless pinball machines and of course the theme than this is the way to go!

AC/DC (Premium) Stern, 2012
I really like this game. The only thing I don't like is the mini playfield. I never enjoy flipping this ball around this mini orbit with these mini flippers but that's just my opinion.
But the shots feel really good. I like it when you can backhand almost every shot in a game.
Other than that I love ACDC so it is a blast.

Star Trek (Pro) Stern, 2013
Just another excellent king pin!! Well done Steve Richie! Just hoping for a code with more varieties. But other than that I can't get enough of playing it.
I played both the Pro and the LE and for me the Pro its just as much fun as the LE. So if you are only buying this for playing and not for collecting the Pro is just as fine as the LE.
