The Premium edition of Stern’s Avengers: Infinity Quest takes Keith Elwin’s 2020 Marvel epic and equips it with the showpiece toys collectors covet. Designed by Elwin with the same celebrated team behind Iron Maiden and Jurassic Park, it flows beautifully — built around the gravity-defying Avengers Tower, a magnetic vari-target ramp that snatches the ball in midair to build Iron Man Multiball, joined by a Thor captive ball, a Hulk spinning target, an Avengers Computer bingo-grid drop bank, and three full-size flippers.

The quest at the heart of the game is collecting the Infinity Gems, each a mode with its own scoring personality. The Soul Gem even offers a high-risk Hard Mode worth 10X scoring but with fewer flips allowed, a genuine gamble that can make or break a game. The deep play revolves around Portal Locks, which grant quest scoring multipliers and ball-saver insurance, and around keeping Thor or Iron Man Multiball on standby before starting a mode — if a multiball is still running when you win a battle, lucrative Victory Laps begin.

Elwin’s skill-shot wizardry is on full display, with basic, super, and super-secret variants rewarding a precise plunge, plus a super-secret middle-drop award that hands out a trophy. The Super Disc, paired with the right gem mode and a multiball, can be enormous. Fast, deep, and gorgeously built, the Avengers: Infinity Quest Premium assembles Earth’s mightiest heroes into one of the modern era’s most rewarding shooters. Avengers, assemble.
