“This is a classic, fun game. It probably enjoys a falsely inflated rating due to nostalgia though, honestly. Anyone that remembers this one when it came out was absolutely blown away by it. It certainly stands the test of time, but there are later machines that surpassed it in terms of ruleset and fun factor yet never found their way into the old pinheads' hearts like TAF.”

“What a great game.
I'm not an expert Pin player, but it's not to difficult to get your head around.
The theming of the game is excellent, and so is the 'Thinging"
No other game can boost a hand like 'Thing".
Love the look of the game overall and it has long term playability.
Not my ultimate favourite, but way up there for me.”

“Probably rated it high than it should be...which is the same complaint I have about this game in general. We all LOVE this machine. But it shouldnt be rated as high as it gets rated. I used to play the stuffing out of this game when it came out. Thought it was the greatest game there ever was...trouble is some of us still get stuck thinking that. Not me. I played one recently that worked properly and it felt way too simple by todays standards, I guess. I wouldnt complain about it one bit if it were rated more accordingly. And for a machine that was so mass produced, I still dont understand the money people pay for one. Geez, after you spend all that loot on one of those, you'd BETTER prop that decision up with a strong rating...even tho you KNOW you paid too much and shoulda got something else.”
