“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!”

“This machine is just fun. It isn't the deepest, or even nearly the deepest ruleset in pinball. But it is a machine that keeps me coming back for more fun.”

“This machine suffers from poor ratings from pin snobs, and inflated ratings from over enthusiastic newbies. I'll say this. It's PURE fun. And thats what pinball is all about. Sure you can get alot of points way too easily but try achieving that big prize at the end of the rainbow...I bet most of you havent reached it yet. My only beef....price is always WAY too over inflated. You can buy something NIB for just a wee bit more than buying one of these things. Hey, it's your money...”
