Munsters Pinball announced

So the Premium has a lower playfield with mini flippers and a 2-ball trough? And two more flipper buttons on the cab? It looks like that's the only real difference.

I'm a sucker for mini playfields, and this one looks really cool! The theme alone doesn't convince me, but I'd love to play one!

It would be cool if a bunch were at MGC like Iron Maiden last year.

Looks pretty neat. I'm pretty sure I've been priced out of the NIB market, but I'm looking forward to giving it some plays.

The recent stern reveals have been much better. I like that they released gameplay video, pics, and started production all in the same day. And they thought better of letting Jody on stream to ridicule would be customers.

Yeah, I was surprised to see that the game was even on Stern’s web site! Usually we’re scouring skid row web sites to find a glimpse of a playfield, and Stern doesn’t update their site for a week. This time the only thing I found amiss was their features matrix PDF said “Deadpool”.

I’m definitely looking forward to playing it. I expect the B&W art will look pretty cool in person, and hopefully the lower playfield plays nice, cause it looks pretty cool!

I have a buddy out at CES and he has been playing everyday.

He said the premium B/W one looks amazing. From the videos I have seen and his opinion he said the lower play field is cool but the ball bounces around like it does in STEwie pinball on Family Guy.

Overall he had really good things to say about it

I am excited to play both the Pro and Premium as soon as they are available somewhere.

First Stern theme I dig in a while.

They should make a lead-core ball. You're right, that's the only thing that really sucked about the mini tables in Family Guy/Shrek. It felt like one of those little handheld pinball games cause the ball just flies all over.

Is that ball in the lower PF actually the size of the ball in Stewie pinball? It seemed slightly bigger to me, but not standard.

I'm glad to see what appears as a removable window for the lower playfield. I never had a good feeling about the permanent one like in AC/DC. Looks like a very cool game and I'm sure it'll be a lot of fun to play. Familiar layout, but what hasn't been recycled these days?

I'm interested as the theme is right up my alley, but gotta play it first. The Pro looks like a pretty decent game, but space is my major obstacle at this point. I grew up in the 60's and watched The Munsters (The Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea were my favorites) even though watching TV was discouraged when I was growing up. Mom and Dad wanted us out of the house burning energy! We did things like riding bikes, and playing/goofing around with the neighbor kids. Heck, sometimes we'd go clear across town and come home dirty and scuffed up!

I would guess the next "cornerstone" game will be release by then?

Isn't the typical release schedule something like Jan, Apr, Sep for the bog games each year?
