Title: Led Zeppelin from Stern
Post by: Freiherr on December 14, 2020, 09:56:38 PM
A few sites around the web are showing a teaser from Stern. This is an interesting title especially for Zeppelin fans who would show a whole lotta love for this pinball. Maybe this is their pinball stairway to heaven. Hopefully the game is not a dog but rather a black dog and the fans will be trampled underfoot trying to get one.
It will be interesting to see the graphics, colours and playfield design.
I will no longer ramble on. Check it out.

Used to like Led Zeplin when i was a kid, but the machines are ugly, the games look pretty boring and the pro doesn't have the only cool mech on the whole machine. be happy to buy one if i fall in love after playing one, whenever that may be, but no thinks at this stage.

Exactly my thoughts - Bugs Bunny... Led Zeppelin are my second favorite band growing up and I would LOVE a Led Zeppelin pinball - but this is atrocious. The LE reminds me of those horrible Home Machines Stern brought out. They have one of the best licences, and only Stern could stuff it up this bad. Looks like they rushed it out for the Christmas period as Gunners was coming out. 2020 finishes off like it started...

Stern can only work with art approved by LED Zepplin

Followed rotodaves retheme and this just popped up.


Funny as f**k, if they'd licensed his machine it would have sold in droves.


Bring back the EM's with this one chance?


Or make a modern bells and chimes machine?

Funny as f**k that the NZ Stern agent thought it was a real Bally from back in the day, he can remember it.

They should have hired an artist to "patch" the artwork in a manner befitting to the game. Even a boring black machine with the "Led Zeppelin" logo would have been better. I did hear that similar argument with the KISS licence and the "artist" used the incorrect bass guitar on the backglass, yet had permission to use the original art from the 1978 machine. I agree that they are limited in what they can and cannot use, but it is the way it is presented that lets down games with successful license.

One of the biggest songs of all time does not appear on the songlist - interesting..

LZ management know it's a great song and probably charge extra to use it

No one could keep ball in play for ten minutes. Robert Plant hates STH.
