We recently reported that Rick and Morty were receiving the Pinball treatment in time for the holidays - and now it looks like the cast of Netflix's hit series Stranger Things will be following up as they have just received their very own machine produced by Stern Pinball Inc.

Though it may only feature Seasons 1 and 2 - a gripe to some fans - it boasts more more than enough features to thrill fans - such as a magnetic ball lock that helps to express Eleven's telekinesis and animated ramps and a central animated screen on the backboard. The game also has artwork featuring everyone's favorite Hawkins children which was done by Pinball legend Brian Eddy (Attack From Mars) who is finally returning to the game after a two-decade long absence.

Thanks to an interview with IGN, we were able to round up a few comments made by the Director of Marketing over at Stern Pinball Inc. - Zachary Sharpe. See what he had to say about using clips from the show in the video on the Pinball machine.

Yes, but only from seasons 1 and 2. We have actual clips and speech from the show along with scenes we custom created using the 3D models from the series or ones that our talented video art production team developed specifically for the game. It’s a great mix of memorable scenes from the show and unique custom created content just for the pinball machine.

Thats good to know, but what about the actual game itself? What sets it apart? Sharpe goes into detail explaining exactly how it works and why it will wow players once they get their hands on it.

The projector is mounted under the bottom arch so as a player you can’t actually see it. The effect is magical as you initially wonder how all the surfaces on the playfield are lighting up and animating. The image projects onto the whole game and on to specific surfaces where we focus images. Some of those surfaces include the big screen in the middle of the playfield, the ramps, the standup targets, and drop targets. As with any projector the brighter the room the lighter the images but the projector is pretty bright because it’s only about 26” away from the surfaces. In an ambient home or arcade environment, it shows up really well. The projector is off the shelf technology customized for Stern. We tried a lot of different routes before we found the right partner to make it happen.
