Stern for the Worst?

Is that guy in the armor and cowboy pants
supposed to be Evil Otto? Because there's
a million ways I imagined how this guy would
look in real life, and brother, this ain't any of 'em.

It depends on how you feel about Atari, because the company which currently calls itself that now owns the Stern arcade game library. That includes Berzerk, Frenzy, and, uh, presumably other things. (Your mind naturally tends to go blank when someone says "Name a Stern video game" and quickly follows with "and it's not Berzerk or its sequel.") 

In case this needs to be mentioned, that does NOT include the games they licensed from Konami, including Super Cobra and Tutankham and that dumb alien vending machine title they released in 1980, under the name Leijac. 

Leijac? Wait wait wait a minute! That's not something you call a video game company! That's what you call a sweaty lumberjack from Quebec!
