Quoted from DK:I’ve never had the pleasure of playing one. Hopefully someone will bring one to TFP this year so I can give it a try?
A Freefall is being prepped to be there. I think it will be done in time.

Quoted from Krupps4:Are there any Stern Electronics pins more rare than Dragonfist? 302 produced is a really low number. I ask the question knowing I could take the time to look them all up on my own.
Cue. There 6 made of Cue.

Quoted from jj44114:All these Stern titles were considered crap in the the 90's. All were $200-500 a piece. Great run.
My OP friend bought a Meteor at a pin auction in the 90s. He gave $5.00 for it and parted it out. The boards were bad and Alltek did not start making its MPU replacement until 2002 is what he told me.

Quoted from DanMarino:Sounds like I need to play some other classic Stern machines. I'll keep a look out for them.
The thing about these classic Sterns is that each one is so very different than the one that preceded it and the one that followed. You could own every one of them and not have similar playing pin.
Try that with several of the Bally's of the era. Aladdin's Castle, Harlem Globe Trotters, and Captain Fantastic all have the double flipper design. Yeah, the play fields are different, but Bally used several similar designs across the line. I'm not knocking these pins, not at all. But they are similar.
The Stern I care for the least is Lightning, but many like it.
Quoted from the9gman:I like my Memory Lane , not listed here, two spinners , 4 chimes , bonus multipliers and definite death shots if you go for the easy strike . Played a lot of games on the list even Stars and they don't hold my attention as much as this game ....that's why it is still in my collection
My Op friend has a Memory Lane on location. Someone wants to buy it from him; He won't sell. It is a tough, but rewarding pin to play. You have to be good. I like playing it.

Quoted from dtrimberger:which would be the easiest to scratch build?
If you have the play field and the parts, IMO, they are all about the same. Wire harness, pops, and drops. Some will have a little more wiring than another but one cabinet fits all.

Quoted from extraballingtmc:Been really into the classic sterns the last few years. Have yet to play stars, dragonfist or freefall.
I think qs and star gazer are my faves but big game and meteor are very addicting as well.
Many don't like it but Catacomb is a great playing pin. But it is a tough pin that will stretch your pinball skills.
Quoted from extraballingtmc:I quite enjoy it but I can definitely see why lots don’t. I will admit I don’t play it as much as some of my others though.
Nice collection. If you have not played Seawitch you need to give it a whirl.
