UK Machine Record
Aerosmith
Stern · 2017 · at 2 UK venues.
Aerosmith is one of Stern's most energetic music games and a particularly good example of a machine where the soundtrack and rules are closely linked. Designed by John Borg, the game follows the band's career through a series of songs and objectives.
The main shots are fast and repeatable, and the game encourages players to build song progression rather than simply collect isolated jackpots. The Premium and LE versions add extra mechanical features, but the Pro retains the core experience.
It is a machine that can be immediately fun even if you don't know the rules. Find a song you know, learn the shots associated with it and let the game build from there.
