Stars

Stars, produced by Stern Electronics in 1978, is notable for its engaging and straightforward gameplay. Designed by Steve Kirk and featuring art by Jorge Obregon, this machine offers players a mix of drop targets and spinners, each increasing in value as targets are hit. Its space-themed playfield requires players to hit five star targets to activate a special mode, enhancing the game's strategic depth. Despite its simplicity compared to modern pinball machines, "Stars" is celebrated for its fast-paced action and skillful shot requirements.
