The Game to Rule All Games

Posted on by

We just finished a full shop job on this awesome Stern Lord of the Rings pinball machine. This machine is always fun with its depth of play and cool theme and this one is a particularly nice, HUO example of the game. Too bad it’s sold already!

Stern came out with Lord of the Rings in 2003, and produced around 5,100 machines. (IPDB)
This game came out the same year as the third installment of Peter Jackson’s cinematic trilogy, based, of course, on the classic J.R.R. Tolkien works.
Fans of Middle Earth especially love the game, with so many toys and modes that touch on the best parts of Tolkien’s world. But the game is a perennial favorite of all players.
We gave this machine a full shop job, tearing everything off the playfield to be tumbled, buffed, washed, polished, or otherwise cleaned.
We installed Cointaker LEDs throughout.
We added a few extra touches on this one too, including Super Bands, and color-matched post sleeves.
Enjoy the game, Paul!
