Stern had some terrific artwork on their videogames back in the 80's. Just look at the spaceships on that flyer, looks a lot like Wally Wood or Frank Frazetta pen & ink work from EC Comics.
Quoted from dmbjunky:I didn't realize they made so many video games. For some reason I thought they only made a couple.
They licensed most of their games from other companies, like Data East and Konami. Even Bagman was from a French company.
But Berzerk was made in the USA, baby! MURICA and allathat.
Quoted from Cornelius:They licensed most of their games from other companies, like Data East and Konami.
Scramble was Konami. But Stern put their name on it loud and clear.
Quoted from PanaPinResto:I found this while going through some old pinball manuals. I thought it was funny. Anyone know when this was made? What is
"This is the end"?
I remember the ad with the same bikini shot in Play Meter. The tagline went something like: "It sure is shapely, but it isn't The End".
Gilligan's Island
Quoted from Cornelius:Only mildly related, but I wish they would've made a Berzerk pin. Or Bagman!
Who's to say they (modern Stern anyways) still can't? Stern should seriously consider it.
