Press Release
NEW YORK TIMES FEATURES STERN PINBALL
May 2, 2008
- On April 25th Stern Pinball, Inc. was featured on the front page and
inside the first section of the New York Times. The article, "For
a Survivor in the Pinball Industry, the Game Isn't Over," demonstrates
that the public remains highly interested in pinball and its continued
success. The New York Times also featured a teaser of the SPIDER-MAN
pinball machine on the front page of the newspaper and photographs of
SHREK and INDIANA JONES in the body of the article itself.
Journalist Monica Davey opens the article: "Being inside a pinball machine
factory sounds exactly as you think it would. Across a 40,000-square-foot
warehouse here, a cheery cacophony of flippers flip, bells ding, bumpers
bump and balls click in an endless, echoing loop. The quarter never runs
out."
Gary Stern is then interviewed, commenting on the history of pinball,
as well as its strong future. "Mr. Stern said the notion underlying this
game was universal, lasting. In 10 years, he said, pinball will be fine.
His company will be here, cranking out pinball machines. Fifty years hence?
…He said he was certain of one thing: Pinball will be around."
Roger Sharpe is also interviewed about the history of pinball, as well
as Tim Arnold, owner of the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Gary Stern comments on the New York Times article, "Articles such
as the one in The New York Times both indicate the public's love
of pinball, and generate further interest for game play and ownership.
We have received lots of calls from readers and they want to know where
they can find pinballs to play. There is demand."
