Now we are talking about WILLIAMS games here! T2?? ME CONFUSED?!?!
When I play a stern game,
- I get bored really damned quick with it
- its the only game to play in the bar or pub I am in
- the only new PRODUCTION machines that you HAVE to try
- maybe I lost a bet
- need my LICENSE fix
- [last item removed by forum admin - no swearing or insults on the Pinside Forums please]

NO! I wouldn't choose ANY stern pinball.

Well I guess there are a couple good ones out of the bunch of sterns. Damn I hate working out of town! LOL!!

OK, I promise I wont swear this time! ;-P
I am just sick of everyone praising Stern for their great games! Do you people know that the only good games that we like from Stern had people from Williams that got fired work on them??
LOTR - designed by George Gomez (one of best WILLIAMS pinball designers ever!) most dedicated to the biz as well.
- sound by Chris Granner (best Williams sound guy EVER)
Spiderman - designed by Steve Ritchie (another Williams best)
- programmed by Lyman Sheats (Williams best, kinda a weird guy, but still)
Simpsons Pinball Party - Chris Granner was on that one
Batman - George Gomez, Lyman Sheats

And probably the most pinball designer/most involved in the biz/pinball for life guy is Pat Lawlor (Williams). He sells designs, ideas, and software to Stern for their games.

I don't hate Stern, when Williams shut down, all these well talented people were out of work, and instead of going to work at 7-11 they work for Stern now. I like SOME of the games, but basically what I am saying here is the games that we like, look who worked on them. It's always going to be a Williams crew!
Too bad it is ALWAYS about money with big companies. As soon as they take a loss they 'SHUT ER DOWN' . <sniff>

R.I.P. WILLIAMS
