description Stern Metallica Overview

Stern Metallica is a music-themed pinball machine released in 2013, designed by John Borg to appeal to heavy metal fans and arcade players. Licensed by the band Metallica, it features original artwork by artist Dirty Donny and includes a soundtrack compiling the band's most famous tracks. The playfield integrates interactive toys directly inspired by the band's history, such as a light-up electric chair ball lock, a mechanical grave marker drop target bank, and a snake target that swallows the pinball.
