About This Machine

Supreme, designed by George Gomez with software by Dean Grover, is a 2018 solid-state pinball machine manufactured by Stern Pinball as a private-label release for Supreme, the skateboard and streetwear brand — the Stern name appears only on the manufacturing sticker on the back of the cabinet. The game reuses the playfield layout from Stern's 2016 'Marvel Spider-Man (Home Edition)' but swaps in a traditional 128x32 red dot-matrix display. Approximately 100 units are believed to have been produced, sold online in a single-day release on May 24, 2018 in Europe and the Americas that reportedly sold out within seconds.

Gameplay features two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, two ramps, a three-bank drop target, and a spinning target, along with a 2X scoring mode and three multiball modes supporting two, three, or four balls. Custom speech and a CPU-controlled light above the drop targets flash to signal Supreme Multiball. Both slingshots fire simultaneously, and the top two pop bumpers are linked while the third operates independently.

The cabinet is fully illuminated with LED lighting throughout the backbox, playfield, and cabinet front, and audio comes from two backbox speakers plus a third mounted on the cabinet's underside. As a limited, brand-collaboration release rather than a standard retail title, Supreme stands out as an unusual crossover between streetwear culture and pinball.
