Iron Man is back!


This a good move for Stern which they are finally able to release a working pinball for sale before the Blockbuster movie debut at the cinema on May 7th, causing better interest in this Iron Man themed pinball machine, riding the anticipation & interest in the Iron Man sequel. The Iron Man Pinball Machine looks to be a mean machine. It features the Iron Man2 artwork & designs, includes movie clips which are displayed on the dmd (Dot Matrix Display) as well as the music, sound & speech from the movie itself. Don your iron suit & ready for combat: It has the Iron Monger rising out of the center of the playfield. Once engaged in battle, it has the ability to catch the ball & send it flying in any direction it wants. Adding to the fray is Whiplash whom also has control on the ball & he can whip it about into frenzy. War Machine is present & it has a kickback shot that when hit it will fire the ball right back at your flippers. Here is a Iron Man Video of the game play by Todd. Click Here.

John Borg brings his talents to the Iron Man playfield design. John has made his presence felt in the pinball community in the past with his creations such as Guns N' Roses, Indiana Jones, Twister, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein & more. There seems to be five characters that you have to collect: Iron Man, War Machine, Iron Monger, Whiplash & Drones, six modes to complete & couple of multi-ball features that will advance to the final wizard mode. This pinball has a combination of flow, with the implements of ball capturing magnets, a flipper aimed kickback, nice fast outer loop shots and a couple of ramps with some smooth flow that return the ball to the flipper for your next shot. Over-all: A beautiful...... ah I meant to say a Mean looking game. Fun- Those magnets sure cause chaos Iron Man sure does look to have good potential.
