“Stargate is a great pin. It's not for everyone, but if you can get past the crowded playfield, there is a lot of fun to be had. It's also a beautiful machine to behold, and features great artwork all around. Without a doubt the best machine Gottlieb ever made.”

“This thing surprised me. Challenging and deep. Takes a while to figure out but once you do, you can really score...if you can control that ball and aim, of course. Translation...not for the wife.
OH! Did I just SAY that?! lol, I'm sticking to it tho.”

“Stargate is by far the best Gottlieb pin ever made (in my opinion). The playfield is great and there are tons of shots and modes to shoot for. The Horas targets were introduced on this game and there aren't any other pins that use the same type of kickback targets, so the game play is unique in that area. The backglass is one of the coolest out there and the overall gameplay if fun and fast.”

“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.”
