Stern Pinball still hand-makes and sells thousands of pinball machines every year even though it was nearly game over for the industry after video games took over in the ‘90s. While on the outside the machines are still perfectly nostalgic, it’s a completely different ball game under the hood. In 2006, there were around 500 pinball players registered with the International Flipper Pinball Association worldwide. By 2017, that number jumped to 55,000.
