2008 Gold Star Winners
The 2008 Gold Star Awards list has officially been released. Gold Star Games' associates help you place your game of choice in your ultimate rec room. The Gold Star Awards list simplifies the selection process - see our "best in show" for each game category.
Air Hockey - Great American Power Hockey The fastest arcade-style action brought home in a high-quality piece of equipment your friends and family can enjoy for years.
Bubble Hockey - Shelti Thunderdome While the SuperChexx has long been the iconic bubble hockey, the steel rod construction and smooth play of the Thunderdome makes you fall in love with bubble hockey all over again.
Foosball - Shelti Pro Foos III 385 lbs. of solid construction makes this reliable foosball table a winner. A slight rise keeps balls from going out of play in the corners, while your players stay balanced in any position you leave them.
Jukebox - Crosley Digital Jukebox Connected to iTunes, ready to burn CDs, and bubbling with neon lights, bring the brilliant look of an authentic jukebox into your home with the Crosley Digital Jukebox.
Shuffleboard - Venture Grand Deluxe A beautiful piece of furniture, your shuffleboard table becomes a focus of attention. The electronic scoring and rosewood exterior make this centerpiece game one your challengers will long remember.
Ping Pong Table - Stiga Supreme We carry Stiga for one reason - they make the table tennis standard. The Supreme is used for ITTF tournament play, and you can have the same caliber at home. This table also folds up to roll away for easy storage or folds one side for one-person practice.
Ping Pong Paddle - Stiga Titanium With pips inverted, 2.4 mm of cushion, and a concave handle, get aggressive with this tournament-quality table tennis paddle.
Pool Table - Great American Eagle Quality of construction weighs heavily into the Gold Star Awards. Great American's well-crafted Eagle Pool Table comes with all accessories and stands up reliably to the rigors of regular play.
Arcade Game - Golden Tee Unplugged The Gold Star Games 2008 Game of the Year! Bring the fun of Golden Tee home.
Darts - Medalist Spectrum Elite T Not only does the Elite T utilize the highest quality components in electronic darts, it comes with a built-in digital camera and LCD display ready to brag about the latest winner.
Game Room Decor - Rock and Roll Neon Sign A neon sign adds the perfect glow to a darkened game room. We like the Rock & Roll guitar neon sign on the wall to give a feeling that a classic superstar party could break out at any minute.
Pinball - Stern Indiana Jones Pinball Indiana Jones is back and you control the adventure. Fifteen years ago we had the Williams Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure, but the new authorized Stern version blows it out of the water.
Furniture - Logo Classic Sofa Sport your favorite team's logo on a couch in team colors, making it clear to everyone that you are the ultimate fan.
Outdoor Games - All-in-One Archery Cart In an age of push-button entertainment and indoor activities, this all-in-one setup gives all you need to get started in the practice and discipline of archery. If you enjoy The Weather Man, you'll be ready to use archery as a kickstart to a new attitude toward life.
Board Games - Marble Chess Set Even with all the video and sporting games at hand, chess is probably the most consistently played game at Gold Star Games. All skill levels can play, everyone has room for improvement, and no two games are ever the same. This marble chess set looks gorgeous on display whether a match is in progress or lined up for a fresh challenge.
Poker - Heads Up Poker Challenge This game was THE HIT at the most recent national amusement machine convention. Forget shuffling, chips falling on the floor, or water rings on the felt - your next poker championship face-off is all digital in this instant classic cocktail table.
Kids Games - Classic Alley Skeeball Ok, skeeball is not for every home. But an authentic skeeball alley is a certain way to create the most memorable game room in town. Only for those who do not mind being the most popular house for neighborhood kids!
What is this list?
This list is strictly based on the opinions of the Gold Star Games staff. It is an unbiased list based upon hours of play on all games in a particular category. Each game is tested, rated, and given a vote.
What this list is NOT?
This list is NOT based upon cost, sales, or popularity. All the games that Gold Star Games offer are high end products. However, the Gold Star award winners are simply the best of the best.
2008 Gold Star Game of the Year - Golden Tee Unplugged
