    “Hardest shot I've played in pinball Trying it to get into eathquake mode with the upper flipper is damn hard plus getting to the shelter duing earthquake mode is freaking had if it is shaking on arcade mode. Best backglass yet. maybe the favorite of my collection.”

    “Once again antoher fun family friendly game which I seem to never tire of. Lots of fun features in the game such as the fault line and the fact that the machine shakes with every earthquake. It is fun and challenging with a well thought out playfield, great game to play and own!”

    “Real nice game at a nice price. Shaker motor is cool a couple of diferent multiballs. Challenging skill shots. Mirrored backglass is really cool, they don't make them like that anymore. Sound is a bit repetitive, but you can say that about a lot of pins.”

    “This game blew me away when I first played it. A shaker motor that shakes the whole machine (and the machines next to it sometimes), a very difficult Shelter shot (used to rescue multiball most commonly), and a choose-your-own-jackpot system that lets you earn a special or an extra ball along with your jackpot are just a few of the unique features of this pin. Unfortunately this game came out not long after the Williams/Bally merger because it's quite clear that the Bally artists did the art on this one (very surreal/cartoony instead of the usual Williams near-photoreallism).”
