Quoted from soren:Stern machines are much better than their reputation. Both in terms of game design and technical quality. They're often spoken bad about which is a shame.
Well said, I agree with you. I understand everyone has their likes and dislikes. It is just a shame that the only company to stick around all these years gets bashed so often. We haven't even seen what all the innovation at JJP will really produce. While I really do hope it is a great pin I also have some doubts about it.
Stern created my favorite pinball game ever in SM and I can tell you that mine was well built and flat out fun to play. They have a very talented crew and I am excited to see what the put out next. Innovation is cool but there is something simple about pinball that really draws me to it. I hope with all this innovation the simplicity I love remains.
