UK Machine Record
Star Gazer
Stern Electronics · 1980 · at 1 UK venue.
Star Gazer is a Stern Electronics machine built around astronomy and futuristic exploration. The player works through targets and lanes representing the exploration of the stars, with the theme providing a sense of discovery.
The rules are relatively simple, placing the emphasis on accurate shooting and controlling the ball.
It is classic Stern: direct, mechanical and focused on the fundamentals. Look to the stars, but keep your eyes on the ball.
