“The combination of classic rock and pinball can't go wrong,” said Gary Stern, founder, CEO and chairman of Stern Pinball. “The music and play of the AC/DC machine delivers nothing less than the ultimate rock experience that both AC/DC fans and pinball players can appreciate.”

The AC/DC game continues both the Stern Pinball and the Stern family tradition of producing quality pinball machines for young and old.

Stern passed his lifelong enthusiasm for the game and the business of pinball to his son Gary Stern who founded Stern Pinball. Today pinball remains one of America's favorite pastimes.

An unstoppable force in rock and roll, AC/DC's last studio album Black Ice was released globally in October 2008 and The AC/DC pinball machine is available today from $5,699 to $8,499.
