Gary Stern says he does not like GREEN coloured pinball machines.
That was a reference to the Sega/Stern 1998 Godzilla pin which only sold apx 500 units apparently ?
The headbox shape was not liked by the public in general and the cabinet art was rushed with no art on the side of the headbox except plain black only n the cab sides were just awful.
BUT the Godzilla game is actually excellent n unique with a excellent playfield n excellent toys n dot matrix action/clips n the audio is great with a excellent shaker motor, plenty of modes etc n a really fun game with bright green well lit ramps n the ball comes flying out of Godzillas mouth during the game. The large molded plastics on the playfield are second to none.
I picked up my Godzilla for apx $2200 a few yrs back n its a keeper.
However, I would bet my real balls that Stern will NOT do another Godzilla pinball. Its seen by most of the USA as being too Japaneese, n Americans arent fond of the japs still after 65 yrs n Godzilla is too Japaneese themed.
Time will tell but I cant see a new Godzilla pin being released again ever for many reasons. I reckon Gary would be opposed to it with bad memories from 1998 still fresh in his calculator $$ profit mind....
