My machine remains unplayed for 3-4 weeks. The promised code update prior to Christmas didn't eventuate, and I'm tired of playing the game with the music cutting out all the time. This was SUPPOSED to be part of the first code update, but it seems GOT needs it's fifth update and that is more important than finishing KISS.

I love the game. The artwork is amazing, but the game has very basic code, and key features don't seem to work. Rules don't work, so going after multiball 3-4 times a game to build a decent score is mundane. If the theme was not my favorite band of all time, I would have flipped it by now.

Based on this experience, I would never consider owning another new Stern (or recommending them to prospective buyers). How they can get away with this is beyond me. So yea, it is a GREAT LOOKING $11,500 ornament, and Stern have made a shitload out of KISS fans, so why bother updating the code on KISS when they "must have" serious problems with the NEWER GOT that no ones seems to want ?

It seems Stern are far more interested in redundant and overpriced toppers than actually selling a fully working and functional pinball machine.

I play Paragon to death now. Seems the code is done on this 37 year old game  @@^
