The greatest adventure of all time is now Stern Pinball's epic pinball machine for all ages. The Lord of the Rings pinball machine features exciting elements from New Line Cinema's box office hits, The Fellowship of the Ring; The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. The goal of The Lord of the Rings pinball machine is to collect the Elf Rings, the Dwarf Rings, and the mortal men rings, thereby forming The One Ring.

Then destroy The One Ring through collecting all three movies. The Lord of the Rings pinball machine offers non-stop action at its best in the form of the following mechanisms: A Balrog toy that pivots when hit by the ball, revealing the jump ramp that leads to The One Ring; A magnet in the center of The One Ring which pulls the ball in and then feeds another ramp shaped in the form of Aragorn's legendary Narsil sword; Four multi-ball modes, including one for each movie, as well as for Gollum; The Orthanc and Barad-dur Towers.

Players can knock down Barad-dur, which also features the eye of Sauron; A small playfield in the upper left hand corner represents that of The Paths of the Dead; Twelve action figures from Play Along toys interspersed throughout the playfield.
