Someone emailed me and asked if there were any software updates to Stern’s Galaxy - I know about the Oliver K mod for it, and I tried to think of new things that could be done for it, but other than boosting scores for planet completion there’s really not a lot I’d change. Maybe I’m jaded in that I’ve had mine for over 10 years I bought it in a multigame deal thinking I’d sell it at the next show, because I always thought it was boring; I made it ridiculously difficult with a hair tilt though by flipping some lanes (at the bottom) to rubber for more bounciness and removing the outlane posts. With a 7.5 degree slope it turns out to be fun in a very frustrating way.
Since I’m satisfied playing the game that way, I never felt the need to do anything with the software beyond the Oliver mod (7 digit and turns off the inlane drop spot feature 1x earlier than stock). I developed and posted a spot letter fix for the top saucer long ago on RGP, but never put it into the game.
Open to suggestions (as if I don’t have enough projects as it is)… post away!
Related, if you have a stern galaxy and want something changed in it… can you beta test the resulting romset. (You’d need access to an eprom burner for this.)
