Stingray

Overview

Roger Sharpe tells us that he and Sam Stern designed this game, and Mike Kubin did the build-up of the whitewood. 'Stingray' is one of two 4-player games made by Stern Electronics that has a switch setting to convert the game to 2-player operation. This is accomplished by setting CPU Switch 25 to its OFF position. Designer Mike Kubin tells us that there were certain markets that wanted only 2-player games, although he could not recall which countries they were. Because the 3rd and 4th player score displays would be disabled for this, and likely were not even installed, Stern made a special 2-player backglass for these games. Included in this listing is one of these backglasses along with its backbox missing the 3rd and 4th displays. We do not know how many games were shipped with the 2-player backglass. The game that followed this one in production, Stars, is the other game that has this 2-player CPU option. Stern discontinued the option in subsequent games.
