Earlier today Stern Pinball released new code for its latest game, Foo Fighters, version 0.94. The new code contains "numerous game enhancements, additional polish, game adjustments, and bug fixes." In addition to the new code, Stern introduced a new Rulesheet for the game to help players understand all of that code. Calling it a "rulesheet" is somewhat of a misnomer though because it's actually a whopping 12 pages long. Below is a link to the game guide: https://sternpinball.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Foo-Fighters-Rule-Sheet-03232023-compressed.pdf While we are on the topic of Foo Fighters pinball, Stern also provided a comprehensive list of all of the Launch Parties for the game across the country. Players who have Insider Connected and log in to a machine at the party will receive an exclusive badge for their profile.
