Stranger Things vs Venom vs Jaws | Stern Pinball Battle in Gonzo’s Top 50 Pinball Machines
In this episode of Gonzo’s Pinball Flipperama Top 50, Gonzo once again revisits his favourite pinball machines of all time and updates the leaderboard. This week the spotlight falls on three modern...
Highlights
- The UK has historically been the most expensive place in the world to buy Stern pinball machines, but pricing is now leveling out to recommended retail prices.
- Jaws is Keith Elwin's best game, ranking higher in Gonzo's personal list than Jurassic Park.
- Stranger Things features a completely innovative projector and UV kit that requires turning lights off to play properly.
- Venom is a Brian Eddie design with Marvel character licensing.
- Gonzo has had Venom twice: once from Pinball Heaven and once borrowed from Neil McCraver after PinFest.
- The final season of Stranger Things was disappointing and too bloated with characters and storylines.
- Gonzo's top 50 criteria require him to have physically had the game in his house to review it fairly.
- Jaws currently does not have Brody on the playfield due to licensing/image rights issues, but this isn't a major flaw because Brody appears in film clips throughout the game.
