Stern’s AC/DC, released in 2012 and designed by Steve Ritchie, marked the Master of Flow’s celebrated return to the company — and this Pro edition delivers his thunderous rock tribute in its most accessible form. Built around AC/DC’s biggest anthems, it pairs a swinging bell with a mounted pinball, a TNT detonator with a moving handle, and a setlist of the band’s classics into a fast, loud machine that plays as hard as the music.
The scoring is a jukebox of strategy. Every multiball — Tour, Jam, and Album — is launched off the right ramp, and song selection shapes your whole game: pick “Hells Bells” and alternate the bell with everything else for a reliable big score. Veterans treat the bell as a points engine, shooting it to ignite stacked 2X and 3X scoring windows. There’s deep combo play too, with twenty-five combos lighting an extra ball, plus inlane and outlane multipliers that double your shots and end-of-ball bonus.
A super skill shot — plunging and holding the right flipper to swing the ball around to any of the five major shots — sets the tone for a player in control, while the Devil’s Horns shot sequence (Bell, Right Orbit, Left Orbit) lights the saucer for hold bonus and extra balls. Loud, fast, and gloriously brash, the AC/DC Pro is Ritchie and rock and roll in perfect harmony — the leaner, shot-forward way to experience one of the great modern music pins. For thunder, you’ve come to the right place.
