The day Eddie Brock assimalated the mysterious alien symbiote was the day that would change him and the world forever. He, as well as the symbiote taking control of him would become Venom! One of comics' most feared adversaries, Venom made his debut against Spider-Man in 1988 and has been striking fear into the hearts of both good and evil ever since. With Venom's arch-nemesis Carnage on the prowl again, it's time to select a host and take to the streets. Choose your host, change the game!
Venom is the lead in his own series of comics, movies and now in his own dedicated STERN pinball machine release. The Venom Pinball Machine sees the player choosing one of up to 7 different hosts for Venom to infect, and change the very nature of the game itself to do battle against the dangerous Carnage and his hoardes followers. It's up to the player to level up their character across numerous battles, eventually putting a stop to Carnage's plans to awaken the planet-ending force known as Knull...
Venom was designed by Brian Eddy, one of the 90s most famed pinball designers, responsible for some of the heaviest hitting titles of the era, including Attack from Mars and Medieval Madness. Venom's playfield is a dynamically changing layout that can change to match any character you choose by altering the nature of ramp shots, loops and more as you shoot around the city - Including hot locations like The Daily Bugle, Ravencroft and the bell tower, with its own physical swinging bell. Strike Carnage's captive ball to send him and his 3D sculpted playfield figure back to Ravencroft, or lock up to 6 balls into the two vertical symbiote containment vessels for multiball.
The Premium model of the game builds on these features even further to further enhance the game, and make it the ultimate Venom experience. Multiple new diverters and mechanisms cause physical changes to the game's shots, allowing the physical playfield experience to change along with the rules for each host, even allowing a single shot to feed up to 4 different pathways. Also unique to this playfield is the dangerous doppelganger, who swings out with 3 dangling targets to pick off at a moment's notice...

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.
