#90.6 STARGAZER revisited - The Classic Pinball Podcast
This shorty or minisode was part of a multi game recording session. Dave suggested that we add to episode #6 Stargazer. He recently set the game up after 3 years of sitting, due to lack of room. Please join us in revisiting the game that was at the beginning of this podcast. Theclassicpinballpodcast1@gmail.com

Deep dive into Stargazer, a rare classic Stern with unique mechanics and custom difficulty mods.
