Synopsis
Joel Ingleberth presents a comprehensive tutorial on Stern's Iron Man pinball machine, a John Borg design with code by Lyman Sheets. The video covers the playfield layout, shot mechanics, six mark objectives, and the notoriously difficult do-or-die multiball mode. Ingleberth emphasizes the game's brutal but addictive nature, clear shot labeling, and deep replayability, positioning it as an excellent tournament machine despite limited depth compared to modern titles.
Highlights
- Iron Man was vaulted by Stern with a newer vault edition featuring the same layout and rules but improved mechs and polish
- Iron Man is a John Borg design with code by Lyman Sheets
- Fewer than 10 people worldwide have achieved do-or-die multiball on Iron Man
- The most difficult aspect of reaching do-or-die multiball is getting the drones shot to flash
- Iron Man is commonly described as a brutal but addictive game
- Carl D'Angelo on IE Pinball has a video demonstrating do-or-die multiball achievement
- Iron Man lacks the crazy depth of some current modern games but has exceptional replayability
- The game's layout is relatively unique among John Borg designs with standard inlanes/outlane configuration
Notable quotes
“It's got that one more game just keep it and start kind of feel to it.”
“If you can read, you can understand this game. It's very clear what to do.”
“The biggest hold up to do or die multiball by a mile is getting drones all the way to the point where it flashes.”
“There's probably less than 10 people on this planet that have gotten to that [do or die multiball].”
“It really makes every ball matter and you really focus during each ball, but if something doesn't work out, you still have a long-term goal that you can chip away at.”
“This is when you can't hit this shot. This is when this shot becomes way too hard as the points are counting down.”
