First time playing a new Stern machine.
« on: September 04, 2023, 09:44:00 PM »
Went for lunch at a local venue the other day and though I wasn't very impressed by the meal, I did discover some late model stern pinballs on site.
Never played anything this modern before and was pleasantly surprised.  Enjoyed a game on Guardians and Deadpool, but really found my rythym on Jurassic park, playing multiple games with my kids.
Only trouble is now they say I should sell all my old pins and buy some newer ones! !@#


I've added these four to the sited pinball section as well.

A good collection has all eras I believe, they all have their place and are fun in various ways.

Newer games can be quite fast and in depth if you like that sort of thing.

Agree 100%.
We have at least 1 machine from every decade, starting with a Bally Sky Divers (1964) through to Stern Elvira`s HOH LE (2019). Sometimes I love playing the EM machines and that is all I switch on or just the late model Sterns. It's great having the variety, if you have the room (and funds).

By the amount of Mods we sell, and we are asked to source, Godzilla is the pick of the bunch. Second on the list is Foo Fighters, and in recent times, Venom.

I had a few games on my Stern KISS last night, and ended up really enjoying it. I'd like to add another Stern, and people keep telling me that I should consider Godzilla. I have the Sega version - which is really basic, but it is fun and I like the theme.

But it is good to see a lot of New Sterns on location.
