AC/DC is a pinball machine manufactured by Stern Pinball based on the Australian band of the same name. Designed by Steve Ritchie, it was released on March 1, 2012.[3]
The machine was confirmed in January 2012 with the release of a teaser video showcasing the game, along with the twelve songs involved in its soundtrack.[4]
The music transfers to physical objects in the game, with “Hells Bells” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train” represented as a bell, and a train.[5]
The swinging bell is involved in the Hells Bells mode, and a lower playfield in the Premium/LE editions is used for modes that use the word Hell in the song's title.
The backglass and cabinet of the Luci edition feature a purple-skinned woman,[6] with the band members shown as silhouettes. The artwork on the lower playfield is also altered. The name of this edition is short for Lucifer.[7]
Gameplay
Each song is the subject of a mode, from which players can work towards a multi-ball for additional points.[8]
Reception
In a review for Play Meter the game was found to have an interesting mix of rules, and scored the game 3/4.[9]
