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.
Description[edit]
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.[3] 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.
Digital version[edit]
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.[4] Due to a new partnership,[vague] this Kickstarter was canceled as it is no longer needed to fund the new table.[5]
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.[citation needed]
The license for the digital version expired on July 1, 2019, and was removed from purchase for any platform.[citation needed]
