Message: <blockquote data-quote="Citizen" data-source="post: 278506" data-attributes="member: 6915">Some clarifications:Seperate companies. The Stern family created Stern Electronics as a new company. Then they purchased CC's assets after CC declared bankruptcy. This allowed them to avoid taking on CC's debt, which they would have if SE had been a direct continuation of CC. But SE was never actually CC.Data East purchased SE's pinball division/assets in 1985.See above. The Japanese company Data East created the Data East Pinball division by purchasing the SE pinball assets. They brought Gary Stern along for the ride as president because he had been president of SE, and because DE Pinball was a US division of DE. Then the DE pinball assets were sold to Sega to create the Sega Pinball division (and again Gary went along as president), then finally Sega sold its pinball assets to Gary and he made Stern Pinball, Inc.So while CC, SE, DE, Sega and SP were all seperate companies, there was a direct chain of pinball assets being transferred from one to the next from CC all the way to SP. Stern should own all CC, SE, DE and Sega pinball titles (not sure about Pinstar).</blockquote>
