		A superb open playfield gives plenty of action, the short ramps are nothing short of spectacular when your 4-ball &quot;Total Annihilation&quot; multiball blast through them. The games is full of fun quotes, stereotyping various nationalities in a fun way. Reaching &quot;Attack Mars&quot; is enough of a challenge to keep the game interesting (let alone the &quot;Rule the Universe&quot;) but the game is easy enough for even the most novice of players to have a blast! Highly recommended, too bad the price is so steep.

		Spidey kicks butt! This game has serious Steve Ritchie flow and the latest 2.1 software update (released December 2008) adds tons of animations, sounds and even better rules. I have long resisted buying Stern games because they just couldn't match the feel of Bally/Williams games, but their recent efforts are getting better and better with every new game they make. 

Spiderman is my first Stern game and it gives me a game similar to my Attack from Mars. Now that's a compliment! It has plenty of nice tight shots and the soundtrack (the Spiderman tune on steroids) keeps you going! I never though I would say this about a Stern game, but this game is highly recommended!

		Everything about this game is good. It has one of the most beautiful playfield and backglass designs, a world-class sound track and most importantly a great layout with a fan-shaped shot layout that makes the ball go screaming round the table. The scoring logic and game rooms are extremely clear and even the novice player (e.g. kids) will grasp it instantly. I'm not exaggerating, this truly is one of pinballs greatest games... ever! The only downside to Medieval Madness is the steep price tag (that's what you get with a machine everyone loves), but once you get over that you'll have a blast!

		Scared Stiff, even after having had it in the gameroom for years and years, still keeps me as interested as the first day I got to play it. The shot layout is excellent and the playfield open enough for great multiball wackyness. The subgames aren't that much games really, but real fun nevertheless (especially the two multiballs). Reaching the marvelous intro to the 'Scared Stiff' wizard mode is not too hard to do, but finishing it is quite a challenge. All in all, this game has the perfect balance between fun and difficulty, making it one of my gameroom favourites and definately a keeper!

There have been some comments about this game being unsuitable for children. Personally I disagree. Admittedly, most of the quotes have a slightly naughty double meaning, but nothing any kid would recognize as such. It's mostly what we grown-ups make of them. 

Highly recommended!

		One might not notice at first glance, but Doctor Who is packing a whole lot of excellent gameplay. The ruleset is deeper than you'd think and while some games triple the price joined and then left my collection, the Doctor still manages to give me amazingly fun games after having owned it for over 10 years. Now THAT's last-ability! The Doctor is not for the novice pinball player though, you'll need good strategy and endurance to get the most scoring out of this game. Who-Loops? Bonus multipliers? Sonic Boom? Transmat power low? Exterminate, EXTERMINATE... Aaaargh, I LOVE this game!

		Demolition Man is another one of those great widebody pins from the fab 1993/1994 years! It has a great layout and flow - but only if the game is well maintained. The right ramp is pretty steep and often very difficult to get wen playing &quot;in the wild&quot;. But a home-owned DM should have no problem with that. What I really like are the rules. They are not overly difficult - in fact, you can master them in just a few games. Finally there are many challenging multiballs. But my most favourite feature is the music, really crispy clear symphonic and never annoying. I owned this game in the past, then sold it, but bought it again because I just couldn't live without one. Seriously I would recommend it - especially at the crazy low prices they often go for. Too bad the artwork kind of sucks, the game more than makes up for it though.

		At first this game seemed to play like a dud to me. The loop lanes are made in a way that always bring the ball right on top of the slingshots. This seems to be intended in the design and it sure takes some getting used to. But once you understand the flow the game is great fun. Now, I'm not a huge fan of the movies but this pin is more about pirates in general than it is about the movies. The ship toy is so great that you keep watching it go - up - down - up - down... awesome assembly and a great game overall!

		Finally got a change to buy this -quite rare- treasure. What a great happy theme. The layout is nice, not so much flow but this is compensated for by the amazing rules. The sounds are great, although I really miss the voices of Marge and Lisa (are they even in there at all)? The music is fun and reminded me a lot of the type used in the Flintstones (wms 1994). All in all an enjoyable game and great for kids.

		To say this is a good game is an understatement. This is such a well designed machine that all the shots almost seem to shoot themselves. Once you catch the flow of this game, you'll have a hard time following the ball, it's that fast. The artwork is amazing and so are the sounds and music. But... There's some things I'm less fond of. For starters, there's next to no humor in the game. This is rather typical for John Popadiuk games I think. Another thing I particularly dislike is the wizard mode. It's... Boring. Sorry, can't make much more of it than that. But all in all it's a fun game, and like I said, the shot layout and incredible flow more than make up for all the negative aspects I mentioned.

		I have always been amazed that designer Pat Lawlor managed to put so much into one machine. And best of all: it's all so well designed and well thought out that this game hardly ever breaks. The only bad thing I can think of is the clock assembly, which melts under the heat of overrated lightbulbs. Other than that, the game has served me without any failures whatsoever, for 10 years now - something that can't be said for all pinball machines. As for the fun rating: it doesn't get much better than this. A great game.

		This game is fast, furious and fun to play! The race track around the playfield is an incredible cool gimmick and draws you into the game. The sounds that goes along with that is also great. The overall layout is fast and there a lot of bal flow. The game is not as easy as some of the other Sterns (which sometimes seem a bit 'to easy' to me) ball times are definately shorter than those games. There's enough to do, the modes are versatile and the game kept me coming back for more. Pat Lawlor did an incredible job both inventing something new and still making it play as good as any other Lawlor machine. But this may be his fastest flowing machine to date! Too bad the backglass art is as ugly as it is. On the other hand, the playfield art looks quite nice. Another negative is the game lighting, the game is a bit dark in its general illumination (GI) department. Highly recommended, even if you have nothing with the Formula 1 theme. One final note: this game is the same as Sterns 'Nascar'.

		A great machine, if you like South Park. I certainly do. The machine has some rather unusual -and rather big- elements on the playfield: a big Kenny, a big Cartman, a big toilet bowl (very cleverly integrated into the ramp) and huge sink holes. There are some very fun subgames and the in-game quotes are hilarious! A rather hard find, but certainly worth its money!

		My first impressions are pretty good, a very nice flow and generally just a lot of fun to play. Clearly the coolest feature must be the crane. It's a big assembly with a ball hanging down from a spring-like mechanism. The whole crane moves left and right. Shooting at a moving target is really a lot of fun and real challenging in later stages of the game where the target just keeps moving frantically. All the shot are all well laid out and pretty varied. 

The artwork for the game is top notch, in the same league as Spider-Man. I absolute love the cabinet artwork - very well done.

The sound bytes are pretty cool as well, especially the voice of the Scarecrow. But also the various taunts by the Joker are ripped from the movie very nicely! I enjoyed the music altough it seemed a but repetitive to me. But then again, I haven't played long enough to know for sure. 

All in all, my first impression is very good. 

Downsides? Well the most obvious one I can think of is the giant assembly where the Joker doll lives in. In my opinion, this is a big waste of resources (budget money) and playfield space and does next to nothing. I would rather have seen some cool mechanism that the ball interacts with. Like Frankenstein in Monster Bash or something of that sorts.

		Not a game to have in the house as your only game. I would only get this as an addition to a 5+ machines collection.  But it is great fun for the occasional fast and frantic 6-ball multiball and just because the theme is fantastic. I may be one of the few people who enjoy playing this more than the original Indiana Jones (please don't hate me for that)!

		In my humble opinion, as far as Sega machines go, it doesn't get much better than Goldeneye. Featuring a very nicely designed, quite open playfield with plenty to shoot for. The game has some interesting concepts on top of a comprehensible rulesheet. I just love the ball saver magnet between the flippers, which is very well thought out. The moving satellite dish is another amazing feat of design, a mini ramp popping up from under the playfield at times allowing you to jam the ball straight into the dish, where it is held by a magnet during multiball. Fantastic! The game has some other fun features: I love some of the quotes, I really appreciate the overall humor in the game (i.e. Bond getting crushed by a pinball machine on the display). All in all this is a real fun gun and best of all: it can be found for a nice price!

		I have owned Pinball Magic for over a year. The magic wand and the floating ball assemblies are very impressive. The game feels really fresh and it's a blast to play. The Capcom brand brought a new 'feel' to my collection, next to the Sterns, Data Easts and the Bally/Williams games. The flippers are more snappy and the game feels extremely solid (bomb proof). The rules are pretty good considering the fact that this was Capcoms first game. The only downside (and probably the reason why I sold it) is the repetition factor. It always starts of with the same mode. That and the fact the the cool gimmicks loose their novelty after a while. Recommended to own once - but in a bigger collection. I wouldn't recommended this as your only game.

		Being from the dot matrix age myself, although enjoying games like Earthshaker as well, it was quite hard for me to like Truck Stop. Admittedly, the game's artwork looks great in that wonderful &quot;late nineties&quot; Bally kind of way but the layout is way to symmetrical for my taste. The flow is hard to be found, and I could only play one, maybe two games before losing my interest. The soundtrack is great though, and so are some of the quotes. And a great looker, but that's really all she is.

		This machine is kind of fun, even if you don't like fishing at all (like me). The shots are pretty hard but who put that huge boat in the middle of the playfield? That is a bit of a flow-killer. But the game is not too bad, and can be bought for a nice price on Ebay.

		A nice looking game made from the rather successful early nineties sci-fi movie. It plays quite alright, but scoring logic is far to be found. The toys and playfield are gorgeous, the backglass amazing with its mirror and surrounding lights. So for its looks, I think it's a great machine, but when it comes to playing... Ah well, look further I'd say.

		The ball launching canon in this machine is really cool! The canon pops up from the rotating disc under the playfield. Hit the red button on the lockdown bar at the right moment and &quot;BANG!&quot; the ball will be shot up with great speed. This toy alone makes this an amazing machine (not to mention the teriffic playfield layout).
