Stern has a massive backlog to keep them very busy for a long time. But it does seem like a good rainy day policy to have a modern Star Gazer that could quickly be rolled out onto the line in a pinch. It's all standard parts that they keep anyway, 3 banks of drops, pops, spinners, etc... Just a few custom ball guides, the playfield itself, and a plastic set. Toss in an autolauncher, a few simple multiball modes, and expand the ruleset a bit like The Beatles did. Alphanumeric displays to keep the game simple/retro and costs down. They could sell a thousand of them for 7500.

Are you guys like me that when I have pinball people over, we have the game we are actively playing against each other...and then a fuck around game to kill time and do dumb stuff while someone else plays for realsies

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Yeah, it's called double-dipping. And it's almost always impossible to actually finish a 4-player game this way, especially with all the booze and smoke around. It's fun walking around your place and seeing seven 4-player games in various states of completion just sitting there waiting for a player.
I used to have a no double dipping rule but it was pointless. Now I at least try to guide double-dippers toward something like stars instead of another modern marathon game.

Well when we play it's accepted that you walk away from the fuck around game as soon as youre up on the "real" game.
