Here it is! The newest pinball game by STERN pinball! Unfortunately, as you can see from the video, they screwed up and built it sideways, making it nearly unplayable.

Your parents may have gotten schnockered on Labatt’s Blue prior to shacking up.

Your mom…

…your dad and his giant teefs…

…add some pinball…

…and a whole mess of this.

I’m just saying.

Hat tip to Pinball Head for the video.

A re-themed Taxi pinball game for your consideration and enjoyment.

This video’s style reminds me of C+C Music factory for some reason.  The music isn’t terrible but it’s frighteningly generic, and the giant pinball props look shoplifted from a grammar school production of Tommy.

As a result of his dogged perseverance, Schiess now manages the largest collection of rare pinball machines in the world. There are seven decades’ worth of playable pinball machines in his 4,000-square-foot museum, the first to publicly curate the games as artifacts of American art, science, and pop culture. But he believes that the preservation of the collection depends on the museum expanding into a bigger and more permanent space.
