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] Each song is the subject of a mode, from which players can work towards a multi-ball for additional points.
It features a swinging bell involved in the Hells Bells mode and a lower playfield in the Premium/LE editions for modes that use the word Hell in the song's title.
FarSight Studios launched a Kickstarter project on May 2, 2016, with plans to digitize the AC/DC pinball table for Stern Pinball Arcade ; the announced funding goal was $108,435. [5] Due to a new partnership with Oculus, [6] [7] this Kickstarter was canceled as it was no longer needed to fund the new table. [8]
The Premium version and the two Limited Editions (Let There Be Rock and Back in Black) of the table are available on Stern Pinball Arcade across multiple platforms. [9]
The license for the digital version expired on July 1, 2019, and was removed from purchase for any platform. [10]
