If Williams were still going Stern would be out of business and people like Steve Richie wouldn't be working for stern. Out of all the machines stern made only 2 or 3 I like most feel like plastic. Xmen is like flipping a ball through toys r us. They do not have the same feel as the 1990 chain. Was it sega Stern bought out for the copyright and patents? Sterns best pinballs so far Spiderman Iron man Lords of the rings is ok and ACDC not played so no comment. Although I wish them all the best its all we have in mass production at the moment and I hope they do well.
