1960's Gambling Pinball Machines
Pinball machines are some of the most complicated gadgets ever created. Like a Rube Goldberg machine that’s playing against you, they have dozens of features, tricks and traps built in to create a challenging game. As such, they’re quite expensive to design and manufacture properly. That’s why there’s such a vast gap between the toy models, which are extremely cheap and easy to beat, and the commercial-grade models, which are massive, complex, and expensive.Since they require so much energy to produce and demand a price tag most people can’t afford, it’s no wonder that only a few manufacturers are in the business of making high-end pinball machines!Best Pinball Machines For Home Use: Our Reviews

Click for PriceThe Stern Star Wars Pro Edition is a classic in the pinball collector’s community. It’s based on the original trilogy, and offers the chance to play as several of the main characters and visit all the key scenes from the movies. It combines the best of old and new, with hand-drawn artwork and accompanying animations on an HD display. The best thing is the sound, though. The Star Wars soundtracks are unmatched, and here they’re on a high-end stereo system with adjustable levels. The 3D Death Star is also a highlight, with its LED lasers that shoot across the playing surface.Stern Aerosmith Pro Arcade Pinball Machine
Click for PriceAside from movies, the most common themes for high-end pinball machines are bands, particularly classic rock bands. This Aerosmith machine is a perfect example of the genre, and the best we’ve reviewed. The hi-fi soundsystem is preloaded with 9 classic hits, and the hand-drawn art across the playing surface features all the band members and classic albums. There are lots of neat plays on song titles, too, such as the 3D elevator for “Love In An Elevator” and the Jacky-In-The-Box from Toys In The Attic.

This Ghostbusters machine is one of Stern’s best, as far as we’re concerned. It has a great mix of new & modern features. They also managed to rope one of the original cast members into doing some narration! Jeremy Packer’s art is stellar, and the gameplay is always interesting thanks to the moving slime target which shifts around as you go through the maze. We think this one is a perfect encapsulation of what a great pinball machine can be!
