Stern Pinball, Inc. released a brand new line of pinball machines in celebration of the classic James Bond films. The series, which will feature original 007 actor Sean Connery available in Pro Edition, Premium Edition, and Limited Edition (LE), hopes to recapture the essence of what made these movies so great. In addition, Stern Pinball will also be releasing a special James Bond 007 60th Anniversary Limited Edition pinball machine featuring all six James Bond actors.
Dr. No (1962) was the film that truly started it all for James Bond, characterized by electrifying action sequences, innovative gadgets, unforgettable characters and villains, and much more. This is the movie that time cannot forget Sean Connery as 007, in what would be one of his most famous roles.
The 007 legend highlights the iconic Dr. No, From Russia With Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), and Diamonds Are Forever (1971) on Stern's James Bond cornerstone pinball machine. Players are taken on a thrilling ride through the world of espionage in Stern's James Bond 007 pinball machine. Filled with action, players will tackle assignments, join forces with key allies, and put an end to SPECTRE's devious plans. Film footage and iconic music from some of the most popular 007 films will heighten the experience as players attempt to become legends themselves.
