Notable quotes

“Stargazer is the pinnacle of classic Stargazer. This is the best they did.”
George
“This game has tons of flow. Ball comes around the little scoops here near the flippers.”
Dave
“The software makes this game harder. Otherwise, this game is too much of a pushover.”
Dave
“We're like on season two or three of a great TV series. The first season was good, but they got to really get it going.”
George
“Look for the lightest color on a play field, and that'll tell you everything you need to know.”
George
“I turned that off. It's too easy. No stacking.”
Dave
