![]() ![]() What Is It: Inspired by the band, and the covers of such albums as Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets, Metallica’s 2012 pinball machine is a fan’s dream come true. Well, unless everyone’s lawyers decided to play nice…yeah, I know, I couldn’t even type that with a straight face. Why We May Never Get To Play It In Pinball Arcade: Since the machine was later made by Stern, but the design may still belong to Sega, and the rights to South Park games now belong to the South Park guys, this might be a tough one to figure out. According to the Internet Pinball Database - and yes, that’s a real thing - only about 2600 to 2800 South Park pinball tables were made. In fact, South Park was one of Sega’s last pinball machine. What Is It: Based on the show, obviously, the South Park pinball machine was built by Sega in 1999, but eventually made by Stern after Sega got out of the pinball business.

Now, in the interest of fairness, I present this piece about the five tables I’d like to see for FarSight Studios’ Pinball Arcade, which is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita.Įxcept that since FarSight don’t make original tables for Pinball Arcade, but instead recreate real ones that were originally built by Bally, Williams, Stern, and other real pinball machine manufacturers, I decided to put a slightly different spin on things. A couple days ago I wrote a piece with the self-explanatory title “ 5 Pinball Tables I’d Like To See For Pinball FX 2 & Zen Pinball 2 (But Probably Never Will).” ![]()
