Profile

007 is a Stern Pinball game that has become a popular choice among pinball enthusiasts. The machine features a MagnaSave ball save mechanic that was notable enough to be referenced in comparisons with later titles like Star Wars: Fall of the Empire. As of late 2024, Stern has kept 007 in active production rather than vaulting it, and the game received significant code improvements post-release that enhanced its playability across different difficulty levels.
