OMG, I was having so much fun looking over the list of modern Sterns and remembering some really rotten games. Didn’t realize I so strongly disliked the following, I’ve developed an internal program that refuses to allow me to play any, ever again. You can stick bamboo under my fingernails and I won’t crack. I noticed there was usually a bad one every year and that Stern didn’t seem capable of predicting which titles would sell and which wouldn’t. Your mileage will vary. This exercise revealed I’m a pinball snob.
