Earlier today I thought to myself, I wonder what would happen if I scrolled back to Stern Pinball's first Facebook post. Yes, these are the sorts of things that go through my mind lol.
So I figured out to go back in time...all the way back to September 22, 2009. The first post Stern Pinball ever made on Facebook was a link to its list of distributors. Meh. But the second post...now this is interesting!
Two days later, Stern shared a link to a YouTube video from June 17, 2006. The video was not on Stern's official YouTube page, but some page called "mpr933." It showed off Stern Pinball's The Simpsons Pinball Party (TSPP) on the production line at its factory, in glorious 240p lol.
Stern Pinball produced TSPP all the way back in 2003, I love being able to get a look at it being made. This is the earliest ever video of the Stern factory that I remember seeing and also the earliest one that shows up in a search of YouTube. I embedded the video below and captured a bunch of images from it to share here. They're a little fuzzy but super interesting, at least to me :). Compare this to the brand new Mega Factory that Stern is cranking games out at today.
