Hi
I'm not a GORGAR-owner anymore but after searching the forum and finding nothing regarding this important anniversary I want to bring out a big toast on GORGAR's 40th anniversary a few months ago.
As far I remember the machine was presented at the AMOA in autumn 1979
It's first presentation in Germany will be 40 years ago in 2 weeks (at the "IMA 1980" in Frankfurt)
This was big-time, the news of a "talking pinball" could be seen in lots of newspapers and even housewife-magazines over here.
A pinball-addict who had the pleasure to meet GORGAR when it was brandnew won't forget it.
GORGAR is as important as Black Knight, High-Speed or T2 to name a few and deserves a birthday-bash, won't you agree?

In this week it's exactly 44 years ago when GORGAR was officially presented in Germany at the "IMA 1980" in Frankfurt am Main ("IMA" ---> "Internationale Münz-Automaten-Ausstellung" or "International Coin-Machine-Exhibition")
As everyone born before the 70ies will remember, Pinball was absolutely huge in those days, also in Germany. GORGAR was mentioned in the news and even in ordinary family-magazines like this ...

It reads:
PINBALL-MACHINE CAN EVEN SPEAK
The latest Hit for Pinball-Fans: A Machine that's able to speak. If Gorgar, the red Monster, gets hit, he moans: YOU HURT ME. And he praises the Winner with shattering Voice: YOU BEAT ME. Gorgar only speaks english though. Pinball-Fans put a Billion Deutschmark in Machines every year.
Below Picture: GORGAR growls if the Player beats him.
