Seawitch
Stern Electronics · 1980 · at 1 UK venue.
Seawitch is an early Stern Electronics machine built around the sea, pirates and maritime adventure. The game uses a relatively simple set of targets and shots to create a journey across the ocean.
Its rules are direct, making shot accuracy and ball control the central challenge. The nautical artwork and sound give the table a strong identity without needing complex software.
It is classic pinball in its purest form. Plot your course, make the shots and keep the Seawitch moving.
