Sisters, released as a conversion kit by Mondialmatic, represents a distinct slice of late-era solid-state design that leans into the minimalist, arcade-centric aesthetic of its time. Featuring artwork by Michele “Mike” Martinelli, the machine strips away the over-engineered gimmicks of the decade in favor of a straightforward, high-tension playfield. With its classic reel-based scoring and a layout anchored by two flippers and three pop bumpers, it serves as a nostalgic reminder of when pinball was defined by pure geometry rather than complex toy integration.
The mechanical heart of the machine relies on a nine-target standup array that demands precision rather than brute force. Because the playfield is relatively open, the slingshots become the primary source of kinetic chaos, requiring players to master quick-reflex nudging to keep the ball from rattling down the outlanes. As a conversion kit, Sisters was designed to breathe new life into existing cabinets, offering a streamlined, single-player experience that prioritizes rhythm and accuracy. It is a quintessential “players’ table” for those who prefer the tactile feedback of mechanical reels and the rhythmic challenge of a classic, target-heavy layout.
