cool that he kept the target red/blue color, flipping blue/red lighting animates it a bit, probably like a heartbeat.

Quoted from aobrien5:"Three segment pharaoh bullseye target"
Am I missing another location? You can see it in action in the Archer video.
outer red ring, inner blue ring, bullseye center
Quoted from aobrien5:Right, but that doesn't sound like the ball is going to go through the target.
the original Archer didn't, so this probably doesn't either.

Quoted from kpg:I didn't meet Keith, but some guy was there standing next to it and said he did all the programming.
Yeah, and some guy was playing it, said he pressed all the buttons...

Quoted from Fytr:The Elwins had the Archer prototype in an advanced playable state, complete with rules, code and working mechs long before Stern entered the picture. I gave Stern due credit in my statement you quoted, my point is that this game was not designed using the “Stern method” at all but rather was a personal passion project.
Quoted from jwilson:It's not running P-ROC, so all the code work wasn't transferable. The working mechs would need to be re-engineered for production use. And so on.
Only on Pinside would I get downvoted for trying to give the team their due.
You can't compare a playable whitewood prototype to a production machine, other than showing a bit of history.
And until you've built your 1st pinball game you don't realize how much work is involved.
I would say the "Stern method" is taking any game concept and converting that into a reliable cost effective mass-produced machine to enjoyed by thousands of pin-heads.
