Product Description
Welcome Home! Stern's 2012 Metallica pinball was widely acclaimed as one of the best metal band tie-ins in pinball history. And now it's back, reworked, upgraded - and lovingly Remastered! It's packed with new game rules, new music, an all-new cutting-edge lighting display and new playfield sculptures. And it could be the best thing that ever happened to your games room!
Explore this fully-licensed tribute to one of the biggest, most successful metal bands in history. Build your score on the feature-saturated playfield, explore and unlock new game modes and missions, and learn the improved rule set all over again - even if you played the original and The Memory Remains! Into this new version, Stern has packed all its technological advancements that have been developed in the last 12 years, including sensory optos, new lighting effects, an upgraded full-colour LCD video experience, and of course Stern's Insider Connected technology, fitted as standard.
Wherever You May Roam on this exciting, upgraded playfield, you'll be amazed at the depth of playability and the immersive interactivity of sculptures, targets and more. Sparky's Electric Chair is fully articulated and responds to ball strikes. Electrocute him and watch spectacular UV lightning effects ripple through his body! Target the Master of Puppets Grave Marker targets and watch as the magnet seizes your ball and throws it across the playfield! Witness the all-new Gavel dispensing Justice For All, smashing your ball down into an underground Coffin ball lock - that's visible through the playfield!
Tangle with the animated Snake that will grab and spit out your ball! Traverse the 'M'-engraved left and right ramps, and the new chromed wireforms, and roam the whole playfield. Snipe targets like the optical spinners, 'Fuel' bar, 72 Seasons stand-ups, Dead End stand-up, RGB-lit pop bumpers and the Power Scoop ball eject. The new lighting system brings unnatural life to the playfield as you play, with spectacular UV and LED visual effects responding at lightning speed to your gameplay and your score. To succeed, you must truly Ride The Lightning! See all the features, modes, components and specification in the Features Matrix, shown in the Gallery.
Nobody was disappointed with the original 2012 Metallica ruleset, originally devised by Lyman Sheats. But for 2025, Ray Davidson has gently tweaked and upgraded the ruleset using the latest available tech. To complement the new ruleset, another eight Metallica music tracks have been added to the original playlist, and all 20 integrate perfectly with new HD video, synchronised lighting and much more. That's 20 tracks to start you off with - you can unlock more as you play through Insider Connected!
Explore the game modes and unlock as you go. Try the original, hectic Electric Chair, Grave Marker, Snake and Coffin multiball modes. And you can now explore two new Game Modes - Hardwired and 72 Season, plus a new unlockable 'Blackened' Wizard Mode multiball. Rock out as you play with awesome HD footage of the band in action, with concert footage and animated cut-scenes all tying into your game. There's even custom speech, with over 1,000 speech clips recorded especially by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo! And when you think you've played all the game modes to their max, simply get online with Insider Connected, and access new Crank It Up and End of the Line modes alongside new achievements and other exclusive secrets!
The Remastered Premium is resplendent in all-new high-definition graphic livery, especially drawn for the machine by Metallica's own artist, Rhys Cooper. The translite art crowns the machine with gorgeous artwork, also by Cooper. The cabinet is protected by black powder-coated armour on the sides, hinges, lockdown bar and the legs, plus a steel bottom arch and a Snap-Latch front molding, making internal access super-easy. The sound is important on a Metallica-themed machine and the Remastered Premium doesn't disappoint, with full stereo sound through a three-channel amp, with 10-band graphic EQ, fade adjustment and a line-out - so if you really want to max out that powerful soundtrack, you can hook it up to your own home audio setup!
Like all new Sterns, Remastered Premium is equipped with Stern Insider Connected. This unique feature uses a QR code system to allow Stern players to connect with Stern and with each other, building a true global network of players. Through Insider Connected you can access special features, exclusive game modes and more, and also stay up to date with software updates and patches. It even allows remote access to your account from anywhere on the planet, so you can play pinball Wherever You May Roam!
Stern's Metallica Remastered Premium is more than a simple update - it's a complete revamp, keeping the best bits of the original and sprinkling in the latest technology to bring it right up to date. It's the essential playable collectible for only the biggest Metallica fans - and Nothing Else Matters.
