# Whoa Nellie / PBR

"Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons," designed by Dennis Nordman and Greg Freres and produced by Stern Pinball in 2015, offers a nostalgic pinball experience with a modern twist. Set on the whimsical Melon Family farm, players score points by hitting various melon targets while avoiding obstacles like the shotgun-wielding father. The game stands out with its unique fruit crate base instead of traditional pinball legs and features vibrant artwork and retro gameplay mechanics reminiscent of 1950s and 60s pinball machines.
