About This Machine

The Munsters (Pro) is a highly anticipated addition to Stern Pinball's 2019 lineup, marking the company's continued commitment to creating immersive and entertaining games based on beloved television shows. As one of the few pinball machines to pay homage to the classic sitcom "The Munsters," this game joins an exclusive club of licensed pinball titles that bring a touch of nostalgia and whimsy to the world of pinball.

At its core, The Munsters (Pro) offers a unique blend of challenging gameplay and engaging features. Players can expect to interact with a range of objectives, including three pop bumpers, two slingshots, five stand-up targets, and two bar targets. A stop magnet and spinning target add an extra layer of complexity, while the Scoop feature rewards players for collecting certain combinations of hits. The game's multiball mode introduces an exciting new dynamic, as the ball can be trapped behind a playfield back panel, adding an element of strategy to the gameplay experience.

The Munsters (Pro) stands out from other pinball machines through its impressive design and artwork. A powder-coated black wrinkle finish adorns the legs, side armor, hinges, and front lockdown bar, while the plastic molded bottom arch adds a touch of modern flair. The translite cabinet art captures the essence of the iconic sitcom, featuring the beloved Munster family in all their spooky glory. As one of Stern Pinball's most recent releases, this game is sure to delight both seasoned pinball enthusiasts and newcomers alike with its engaging gameplay and nostalgic charm.
