#STERN PRO PINBALL MACHINE SERIES#

Well, not quite! As the community didn’t have much information (and rightly so) about this famous video projector and as the theme doesn’t necessarily speak to the forty-somethings and more (wrongly so, but they are the ones who mainly buy today!), most of the (old) pinheads went crazy about this pinball machine by speculating about the visual rendering and the low interest that the successful series was generating. We think that Stern didn’t do a good job of teaching us about this innovation, so we talked about it for the first few days and then… Nothing! Rumors are flying and the community is getting excited on the forums. Even the professionals of the sector are not more informed than that.

The big guns are out to promote this game and the Duffer brothers, creators of the series, even go through the communication exercise of the traditional presentation trailer. To know: For the atmosphere, the Duffer brothers, creators of the series, were inspired by the fantasy and science fiction films of the 1980s, with Lovecraft, Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter or Stephen King as influences, among others…ĭecember 2019: the pinball world is abuzz when Stern releases videos of the pro and premium models of its new pinball machine the Netflix Stranger Things two days before Christmas.
