One of the things that’s always bugged me about pinball sites – and indeed sites in every industry – is the tendency to provide product photos barely larger than a thumbnail. How am I supposed to see anything with those? For a large, detailed product like a pinball, resolution is what’s important – so give me a photo I can study and sink my teeth into!

And here they are for Stern’s brand new Star Trek pinball, beginning with overviews of the three different editions. On the left is the Pro “Starfleet” model, the center is Premium “Vengeance”, and on the right is the Limited Edition “Enterprise”. These photos may still look like thumbnails... but click a couple of times and ye shall receive incredible resolution!

Next, we have the two different versions of the playfield – on the left with plastic ramps is the Pro playfield, and the right one with chrome wireforms is shared by both the Premium and Limited Edition models.

Now, the five photographs above are probably high-resolution to an insane degree, but this is my site gosh darn it, and I’m gonna make them available to everyone, even if no one else is crazy enough to do it! This way you can zoom in and see – or even read – any detail you want!

If you want more than mere pictures, I can accommodate! First up is the official feature matrix, itemizing which features you’ll get with which edition. Some of these items are still a little vague, in the sense that it’s not known entirely what they’ll do or encompass, but I’m sure more information will be available in the coming weeks.
