[QUOTE="karl, post: 251272, member: 465"] Stern does not consider Stern Electronics to be the same company because that one was started by Sam Stern. (Old Williams legend and the father of Gary Stern) Data East is the beginning of what we consider The modern Stern. It was Started by Gary Stern and Joe Kaminkow. Software designer Lonnie D Ropp was also there from the first Data East machine, Lazer War. After a few years, Sega bought the company from Stern,(still run by Gary Stern etc) but when Pinball was hurting bad in late 90' and Sega did not make any money from the pinball division, Gary Stern bought the company back. Stern do own the rights to Stern Electronics also, and they did ask the pinball community if a re-release of a Stern Electronics Pinball machine would be something they would be interested in. (Only problem with that is that they would probably ask roughly the same price as any other new Stern for it ;) ) In other words, Stern Electronics machines would probably be a part of future tables in SPA and not TPA, since Stern own the rights. Only thing I do know is that I would like many more of them. I prefer those before the Data East/Sega machines. The handful I have played are really fun machines. Many of them are designed by the legend Harry Williams. Flight 2000 is one of those [/QUOTE]
