Have I been asleep for a while and am I still dreaming? Has anyone seen the new Stern Iron Maiden pin? OMG, I can’t believe it. My favorite band come to life in pinball form! Ok, wishfully thinking next question, can one or more of you incredible developers crack the Spike 2 system and work on getting this table made? What does everyone think of this table?

March 30, 2018 at 1:37 am #80435I don’t get excited about rock band (or movie) themed tables… HOWEVER, I think Iron Maiden is one good band to theme a table because of the classic artwork. The design of the table can be more focused on the cool art than band pics, etc… so, my personal opinion is that it could be cool.

If it gets ported to “Stern Pinball Arcade”, you may have a shot!

March 30, 2018 at 2:07 pm #80460Yeah, I just saw it on the Stern website… \m/ \m/ Awesome layout, Stern artists went with their own renditions of Eddie and didn’t copy exactly what’s out there already, nicely done. Not alot of toys though, but that’s ok, I’m here to play pinball anyway. @Thalamus: Thanks for the link. Wow, seems things are looking positive on Spike 2. How do you think the BG/LCD(DMD) would be set up? Are we all going to have to upgrade our backboards to accommodate the added LCD, or do you think the LCD will be implemented in to the BG with the BG graphics as, say, a border around the LCD, for those of us who can’t upgrade our backboards? Cool to think about.

March 30, 2018 at 4:05 pm #80467Its not like we can’t do lcd. lcd = video. Just look at evildead or the stuff that Terry’s made by using pinup. You may think that spike2 is near to be cracked. Even if it was, it is a quite beefy “machine” that it runs on. Seen suggestions on running it on a pi3. Well. Someone believes that if it runs linux then a pi is enough. But, well how knows. I’ve been proved wrong before

March 30, 2018 at 6:26 pm #80473Interesting. Stern sure enjoys doing the rock band tables. Of course AC/DC and Metallica are epic (and maybe Aerosmith too) so we will see.
Still hoping they do a Jaws table at some point.

And movie themed tables, and vault editions, rinse repeat.

March 31, 2018 at 12:20 am #80482Was a real good weekend for me, there were two tables I have wanted to do after Jungle Girl, a Alice Cooper and a Iron Maiden themed table, and I got to see both of them. Now I don’t have to do them so I can do something else. Like both machines, the stern, because it’s their new designer and it’s a “emergency” design, it’s not the stock by the numbers stern design. The Alice Cooper one though is very cool. Love the guillotine toy on it. I was thinking of seeing him in a few months, have to get tickets as it may be the last chance to see him since he is 70 now!!!
The Maiden one reminded me of the WPC tables more than anything, which is a very nice change. We have only seen the Pro version, the higher end models will have a lot more toys on it, I personally hope it’s the Egyptian death mask from the world slavery tour (Powerslave) that splits open to show mummy Eddie. That would be so cool…
