CHICAGO, IL – April 15, 2025 – Today, Stern Pinball, Inc., the largest designer and manufacturer of pinball games in the world, revealed King Kong: Myth of Terror Island – a brand-new collection of pinball games featuring one of the largest staples of popular culture: King Kong. King Kong has been a leading force in cultural media since his first appearance in 1932 and has influenced every medium of entertainment through films, television, books, art, comics, video games, and more. Stern Pinball takes players on an all-new journey through the fabled King Kong original story, creatively re-invented specifically for pinball. King Kong: Myth of Terror Island pinball games are available in Pro, Premium, and Limited Edition (LE) models.
In Stern Pinball’s King Kong: Myth of Terror Island pinball games, players join Ann Darrow, Jack Driscoll, and Karl Denham on their journey to the mysterious terror island, which results in King Kong traveling back to New York City with disastrous (and fun) consequences. Featuring innovative playfield design and iconic mechanisms from the creative team that brought players pinball mega hits such as JAWS, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park, players will experience King Kong in a whole new way.
Watch King Kong come to life while playing King Kong: Myth of Terror Island. A custom-sculpted King Kong will react to player action through a new animatronic animation system, swinging his arms and torso to assert his dominance. Summon him by hitting the custom sculpted Gong bash target, but beware, when pinballs are locked into a New York City train car, an agitated King Kong will destroy and flip it over to start King Kong multiball.
Encounter and escape danger as players enter “The Pit” on Terror Island. Guarded by a custom-sculpted giant spider, this area magnetically grabs and attacks the ball, so be prepared. Travel through dangerous terrain by exploring the thrilling helix-shaped Biplane ramp featuring a custom sculpted biplane toy in addition to a secret river ball path and river log diverter.
Thrilling gameplay features and challenges await players on this four-flipper adventure. Unlock the secrets of the Lost Temple four bank drop targets with a hidden standup target and navigate into the Kong Cave scoop and vertical up kicker. Survive Kong’s punch-back kicking target, which launches balls back at the player. This pinball adventure highlights original animations, music, sounds, and speech, with original art brought to life by legendary pinball illustrators Kevin O’Connor, Greg Freres, and Jeremy Packer aka Zombie Yeti. Custom speech is provided by comedy legend Brian “Q” Quinn from Impractical Jokers fame, along with Rick Zieff, Peter Mackenzie, and Scott Mosenson.

My longtime friend, Kenny Chu, has been playing basketball w/ me the last 10 years and he just had his 2nd brain cancer surgery this past year and he's still recovering strong and able to play! To celebrate his 40th birthday, we are hosting a 3v3 basketball tournament to raise funds for cancer research.
Join us LIVE throughout the day as we broadcast 3v3 basketball games, spend time chatting about life and games, and raising money for Cancer Research through St John's Foundation & American Cancer Society.
About Kenny:
Hi! For those who don’t know my story - it all first started on January 1st 2017 with an unexpected seizure at the Little Sister restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. It’s tough reflecting on the trauma but I’ve made strides thanks to friends and family. (And thanks to my wife Mimi 💪) I woke up in the hospital that day and we discovered I had an aggressive brain malignant tumor needing surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. I had a reoccurrence this year and have been on radiation and chemotherapy ever since. Life is precious! To this day I am convinced people are good and life should be celebrated. With your help I am hoping to dedicate my birthday this year to help others in need. Please join my Mr Bubbles 3v3 tournament and donate to cancer research! Basketball has always been my first love and what better way to celebrate this lovely world 🌎 🙏

Tournament starts at 6:30pm Pacific if you'd like join us! https://app.matchplay.events/tournaments/168952
