Delving back into its rich history of player favourite games, Stern Pinball has breathed new life into a true Stern Pinball classic. Introducing, the Metallica Remastered Pinball Machine! Bringing the band themselves back on board to inject a hearty selection of updates and modernisation to a consistent player favourite.
The Metallica pinball machine was originally released by Stern Pinball in 2013, where it rapidly went on to become one of the most popular music-themed pinball machines in pinball history. It featured fantastic playfield innovations, fan-favourite artwork and a highly regarded ruleset devised by the late great Lyman Sheats Jr. In 2024, the game has taken on a whole new look and feel in Metallica Remastered, looking to capture the electric concert atmosphere and band lore like never before.
Metallica Remastered celebrates one of Metal's most celebrated acts in ways only a modern pinball machine can. The Metallica Remastered playfield features the same widely-loved layouts from the Premium and LE versions of the 2013 game with a huge number of additional features and touches. The biggest change is the all-new HD screen replacing the original D.M.D, for which brand new animations and graphics have been created especially for the Metallica Remastered release, along with the completely new game artwork created by Metallica's main artist Rhys Cooper. The game also boasts over 20 incredible Metallica hits, 8 of which are completely new for the machine.
In terms of physical features, Metallica Remastered features a number of new attractions, including UV printing in selected areas to add a completely new dimension to the game's art and lighting package, as well as a completely remodeled take on the game's beloved main character Sparky, who has been given additional physical animation and UV painting to truly bring him to life. Also look forward to unlocking awesome new features (including even more additional songs) with Stern Pinball's Insider Connected system, which is fitted as standard.
The LE version of Metallica Remastered is limited to only 500 machines worldwide, and makes the entire machine an event to remember. It includes a staggering number of cosmetic embellishments, including full Expression Lighting on the playfield and speakers, a totally unique art package once again created by Rhys Cooper. The game even features upgraded audio hardware, allowing you to pump up Metallica's tunes like never before.

About Stern Pinball:
Stern Pinball, Inc. (“SPI”) designs and manufactures arcade-quality pinball games. It is the only maker of arcade-quality pinball games in the world and is located just outside Chicago, Illinois.
The company traces its lineage to Philadelphia in the 1930’s when Sam Stern got into the business of operating pinball games. These new games were all the rage in bars and restaurants, and game operators were making a very good living. Sam became so successful as an operator that he soon became a game distributor as well.
In 1947, Sam visited Williams Manufacturing Company in Chicago where, according to pinball industry folklore, he brazenly put his feet up on Harry Williams’ desk and asked, “Why don’t you sell me your company?” Because of Sam’s success as an operator and distributor, it took Harry only three hours to decide to sell half of the company to Sam.
Sam moved to Chicago and became President of Williams. Through the ‘50’s and ‘60’s, he and Harry worked tirelessly to build Williams into one of the leaders in the burgeoning pinball industry.
Sam passed his passion for pinball on to his son, Gary, who as a child played in empty game boxes on the factory floor at Williams. Gary was only 16 years old in the 1960’s when he started working for his father in the stock room at Williams.
The late ‘70’s and early ‘80s saw the emergence of coin-operated video games. As the coin-op market evolved, other companies acquired many of the existing pinball companies. In 1986, after the death of his father, Gary founded Data East Pinball, which was purchased by Sega in 1994 and became Sega Pinball. In 1999, Gary bought the business back from Sega and renamed it Stern Pinball, Inc. Less than a month later, Williams announced plans to cease pinball production in order to focus on the slot machine business.
Through the first decade of the new millennium, SPI has continued to carry the pinball banner and promote the game throughout the world. The company has released many popular games, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, Shrek, Batman, Spiderman, the Simpsons Pinball Party and many more. Its games continue to be enjoyed by both pinball enthusiasts and casual players around the world.
Warranty:
Home Use:
This pinball machine comes with a 2 year parts warranty. All parts that are faulty will be replaced. Furthermore, the first 30 days after delivery will be covered by a full on-site service where if any issues arise, we will either visit on-site or return it to our workshop to remedy.
For the remainder of the 2 years, we can often solve any problems over the phone and supply any necessary components for the customer to fit. If necessary our specialist repairer can visit your home to inspect and repair your machine on-site, but this would be chargeable. Please call us for a call-out quotation. If parts are required which are not carried at the time these will need to be ordered for you, and will sometimes need to be imported from the States - therefore, there can be a wait for the part to arrive.
After our 2 year warranty has expired we will continue to offer you complete support for any problems you have, either over the phone or by email, and can provide a chargeable engineer call out should it be required. Whatever happens, we will be able to look after you and your pinball machine.
Pinball machines are complicated items, which don't like being moved about, nor do they like the cold or humidity. Therefore, if you chose to move the pinball machine from where we originally installed it, or it is stored in a cold or damp location, our warranty will become null and void. We won't be able to supply any parts for your machine free of charge if it has been accidentally damaged or you have tampered with it in any way.
Commercial Use
Where a new pinball machine is not being used in a home, but is instead being placed in a commercial location such as a bar, pub, cafe, restaurant, bowling alley, trampoline park, youth club, office, factory, or similar, we will offer a 30 day on-site service warranty should any problems occur which are not a result of any misuse or malicious damage. This warranty will cover parts and labour.
Availability:
New pinball machines are subject to a number of factors including production and shipping times. As a result of pinball's explosion in popularity in recent years, lead times have increased on many titles and may see very limited production and availability depending on market demand.
