- ipdb.notes
- This is the same game as Stern's 1979 'Meteor' but manufactured in Australia under license. The backglass may or may not indicate this.
Stern programmer Alan McNeil told us that the mini-post screw between the flippers was known as a Kirk Post (for designer Steve Kirk).
Duncan Brown told us that Steve Kirk explained to him that he placed his personal design number on the backglass of every one of his games (in the order in which they were designed). Here are the ones we know:
Stars has SK-1 on the jet wing.
Nine Ball has SK-3 on the wizard�s cap.
Meteor has SK-5 on one of the rockets.
Pinstar's Gamatron has SK-9 on a launching rocket.
We don't know what games belonged to SK-2, -4, -6, -7, and SK-8.
