Stern Electronics

TCW Podcast Episode 102 - Stern Electronics   We look at the short history of Stern Electronics.  A company that has influenced and been influenced by multiple other companies through its people.  We cover the paths of many of these people including the founder Gary Stern.  During the transition to video games in the late 70's and early 80's Stern was the American arm for Konami bringing over many of their games.  With financial difficulties from having to buy out one of the major investors, once they became mired in legal trouble, and the collapse of the video game industry, Stern ceased to be.  A quick flash for an interesting company.   TCW 059 - Williams’ Crazy Story Pt 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/williams-crazy-story-pt-1/ TCW 060 - Williams’ Crazy Story Pt 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/williams-crazy-story-pt-2/ TCW 090 - Lion and Bally Manufacturing: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/lion-and-bally-manufacturing/ TCW 091 - Bally: The Road to Fitness: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/bally-the-road-to-fitness/ Dr. Tran: (potentially NSFW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO0kRE5OTZI TCW 051 - Sons of Pong: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sons-of-pong/ Smiley Face History: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2009/feb/21/smiley-face-design-history URL Video Action Indy 500: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIa0J10raDc Berzerk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdewB64l2-c TCW 052 - The Many Faces of Konami: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-many-faces-of-konami/ Astro Invader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UcmU0qV5U8 The End: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcOa6DSDgxQ Tutankham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z242gkTzmM   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
