Heavy Metal (Stern)

Stern's Heavy Metal commemorates the 300th issue of Heavy Metal magazine, which has been running since 1977 and inspired the 1981 animated movie of the same name. The machine was intended to have a production run of 300 units, but only 100 units were actually produced.

The game's artwork pays tribute to characters and worlds from the magazine’s storied history. New additions from its upcoming publications join this shared universe for the first time. Gameplay revolves around the warrior heroine, Taarna and the undead tailgunner, Nelson. Both speak for the first time ever, supporting the in-game narrative.

The pinball machine soundtrack features original recordings from Sebastian Bach, and Brendon Small, in addition to iconic tracks from the Heavy Metal movie original soundtrack including Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, and more.
