Stern Venom Pinball Machine Review
#20 in a series of Pinball machines reviews, thank you to me Dad for getting one of these beasties(!)
These videos are a brief review of the machine covering my own reviews on:
The Playfield

My Likes & Dislikes
Strategy
Venom was released by Stern Pinball in 2023. It was designed by Brian Eddy. This is a premium edition game, so has some extra bell's and whistles with the centre adjusting ramp and Doppleganger target which swings out from the right. Brian Eddy is famous for games like Medieval Madness and Attack from Mars - both of which you can play at Special When Lit Pinball Club in Salisbury - both are highly ranked among the best pinball machines of all time.

    I do love my Seawitch...but I think it's funny that when you're mentioning the big games that came out in 1980 you didn't mention Xenon or williams black knight. Those are the first two I think of.....I'd still rather play Seawtich though.

      Good point(!) At the time I made this video, I don't think I'd played a Xenon or Black Knight (since enjoyed both). This one has since been fully restored with a new paint job, playfield & LED's and sitting proud back in Special When Lit. Great game!

    Nice! I probably like this game more than most. I just wish qualifying Lucius wasn't so tedious, and I wouldn't mind fewer layers of risk vs. reward. Between the playfield multipliers and all the jackpot building shots, it's a little much for people who prefer games with objectives that are more direct.

    I'm not sure if the person that posted this video will even see this comment but its worth a shot. Do you happen to still have the machine? I have a general question about one of the items on the playfield that I can't seem to find an answer for anywhere. On the left hand side there is a tilt bridge that has a small black Batmobile tumbler with blue tinted windows made by Hot Wheels. I think I may have come across one of these Hot Wheels outside of a machine but I'm unsure. It looks exactly the same as the dark Knight Tumbler Hot Wheels that were released between 2005 and 2008, however all of those Batman tumblers say they were made in China on the bottom. From what little research I can find, which isn't much, I think the Batmobile that's in that tilt arm is the same Batmobile I have. If you still happen to have the machine would you be able to check the bottom of the Batmobile and let me know if it says made in Thailand? I would post a picture of the Batmobile Tumbler I have that I'm asking about but I don't think RUclips allows that in the comments.

      It's a great game! Only thing I'd say is as it's your first game; prices on pinball's can be all over the place, so certainly worth researching the price & seller, and that it's fair for the machine & condition. www.pinballprices.com/ is some help, but speaking to fellow pinball fans is a good idea. Most games you can complete/play out within a year I'd have thought, so if you do want to sell it later and get something else, worth knowing you should roughly get your money back for it.

    Few inaccuracies in this - multiball jackpot ramp is relit by warehouse (not saucer) left ramp super jackpot stays lit - and… to get the magazine modes it’s the standup targets to qualify rather than rollovers… as always if your up against me in a comp, please take my recommendation for getting the bonus on any game as soon as possible (Just get the ball down between the flippers to collect - don’t even need to flip 😜)

  • @SteveJones172pilot
    @SteveJones172pilot 2 года назад

    Great review of my favorite game.. One correction - No matter which of the 4 sets of targets you hit, you ALWAYS get the right magnasave first, and then the left only if the right is already lit. You can actually see this in your video at 5:40 when she scores the left lower side and gets rewarded the right magnasave. Also, a clarification - That extra ball becomes available when you complete BOTH of the sets of drop targets at the top 3 times (by default in one ball) and then hit that left ramp.. There's a similar reward (can't remember what) for getting both of the lower sets 3x and then going through the center ramp to the upper playfield. The 3 arrows pointing at each set of targets keep track of your progress. Also, you didn't show it, but in a multi-player game, by default the winner gets a 30 second bonus round of unlimited balls to add to the score.. keep plunging, and keep scoring! I think this can be disabled in settings, so it must have been disabled on my machine. Love this machine - It's fast and unforgiving as you point out!!

    • @pinballreviews1363
      @pinballreviews1363 2 года назад

      Yup, I turned off the 30 second extended time to save time on league play. Does have fun music when it’s running. I didn’t realise it was always right magna save first no matter what, makes sense considering it’s usually the most worn - Had this game about a year and I thought I knew the rules 😝 cheers for clarifications 👍

    Not mentioned, is the bonus amounts: 22k and 44k. Very odd numbers and I don't think there are any other Bally games with a 22/44k bonus. My guess is they used 44k in honor of perhaps her bust size (which was probably more). In the late 70's Bally games were rife with sexual connotations, so it's not out of the realm that this is a subtle nod towards her assets.
