Episode 6: The Classic Pinball Podcast - Star Gazer

“Stargazer was a really awesome game in its design, how it plays, and the artwork part of it, too.”

“They didn't really care as much, it seems, as compared to the 1980s stuff they did and even the late 70s stuff they were doing.”

“In the original Ghostbusters movie, the boys' firehouse loft had a Stargazer in it.”

“If you have 4,000 points a spin, you just want to keep nailing that spinner and leave those drop targets alone, which is sort of difficult because there's a couple of bumpers right nearby that are probably going to get it down for you anyway.”

“This is called the semi-circle concave scoop, which if you have not had the opportunity to play this game, it is something I find difficult to get used to. I love it.”

“The only game that did the scoop thing like this, it's comparable at all, I would say would be... Space Station. Space Station is from '87, and they're the ones that use that same idea, the concave thing.”

“There ain't no gimme extra balls in this game. There's no ball state, George.”

“I find it's too easy if you get it all in ball one, you're going to always have that maximum bonus at all balls. So I have it so that if you get anything over three times bonus the next ball we'll bring it back down to three times so you start over again.”

“Vic has lived nearby where I grew up, and Vic and I have exchanged emails when I first got into the hobby...he's been in the hobby forever and a really nice guy to talk to.”

“So I have it so that if you get anything over three times bonus the next ball we'll bring it back down three times so you're going to start over again it makes the game a lot more challenging and more fun play more that return the game factor”
