saw this post on the net

Based on Steve Ritchie's hit design, the latest addition to the AC/DC pinball lineup features an entirely new original artwork package that captures the titillating rock and roll spirit of AC/DC and AC/DC pinball. Players will rock with Luci to twelve classic AC/DC hits including "Back in Black," "Highway to Hell" and "You Shook Me All Night Long."

Doesn't look too bad, Stern is definitley trying to swing some more buyers and re-buyers..

Hopefully the code will be finished.

Luci is short for Lucifer. Bit of a cool devil, or maybe a one hot angel.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

I quite like it.  If they redid the whole playfield (ie got rid of the photoshopped heads) and had the same/similar artwork I'd probably buy one again!

The good thing about this is if they are doing a couple of re-runs hopefully that means the team is working hard on code updates

Good idea.

I can see chick decal mods for current owners heading our way.

I actually like the cab the most. not sure about the BB. Maybe she should be sitting on a dirty great canon.

congrats, I think it looks good.


maybe a option for others is to purchase the bottom playfield and install into your current AC/DC premium as a mix ???

It seems like they saw how popular the old-school artwork was on Metallica and decided to add some to ACDC. I think it looks good, they should have gotten rid of all of the photoshop style artwork.

I think there needed to change the playfield art to tie it in together.

 Maybe a pro version with new art. Her a face on it instead of angus.

Also the pink skin colour looks a bit weird?

Also the Transilte Art could be better.

Just my  opinion.

I prefer it but agree that it doesn't quite tie in with the PF art... its now a confused mix of classic comic book style art and photo shopped images of the band members... opportunity missed to have her " burning" in hell for lower PF also.

Maybe Stern are going back to artistically produced images over photos... excellent move I reckon!

I like the artwork. I like what Stern have done with this license.

Why not a Bon Scott Tribute LE next ?
