Stern’s AC/DC Premium Vault Edition, released in 2017, is a re-release of Steve Ritchie’s acclaimed 2012 rock tribute, bringing the fully-loaded Premium back into production for a new wave of players. The Master of Flow’s thunderous design returns intact — a swinging bell with a mounted pinball, a TNT detonator with a moving handle, a rotating ball cannon, a lower mini-playfield, and moving band members — all set to a setlist of AC/DC’s most electrifying anthems.

The scoring remains as deep as ever. Every multiball — Tour, Jam, and Album — launches off the right ramp, while the cannon lets you target the bell or the AC/DC standups, and the “Hell”-named songs send the ball down to the lower mini-playfield. The bell is the heart of a big game, shot to ignite stacked 2X and 3X scoring windows, and the veteran move is to ride “Hells Bells,” alternating the bell with the other shots for a steady, reliable climb.

All the depth carries over, from the Devil’s Horns shot sequence to combo-counting that lights extra balls, to inlane and outlane multipliers that double your shots and bonus, plus the super skill shot that swings the ball to any major shot. With its Vault-edition value and the same fully-equipped Premium feature set, the AC/DC Premium Vault Edition is a fresh chance to own one of the great modern music pins — loud, deep, and built to make the whole arcade rock. Thunderstruck, indeed.
