I love the way you can choose difference songs from a Metallica play list, always a great feature,
The extra lighting around the flippers is Awesome,
I love watch the Hammer in the middle of the play field smashing the ball into a coffin below, never get sick of that!
Metallic has a couple of magnetic ball locks that are fun & so many more great toys,
I noticed that Stern has gone back to the Allen's head bolt to lower the back Board when transporting, great move Stern
Final word, Fantastic game !

I like to do a little research before writing a review on a pinball machine & today I discovered that this was Pat Lawlor's final design for Williams, Pat Lawlor's designed the 2 best selling pinball machines of all time, Adams Family & Twilight Zone, pretty amazing stuff,
The day I played this machine there were 40 machines on free play & I found myself drawn back to this game, the hole in one is a great future & was I pleasant surprise, sending the ball fling into a secondary play field, really fun shot,
This game reminds me of Caddyshack movie with the gofers popping up everywhere, to put you off your round of Golf,
fun family game

I had seen this pinball machine around & always thought it was based on the Sylvester Stallone movie but it is based on the British comic strip & finally got a change to play, Well what a pleasure surprise!
First up there are 2 start buttons standard game play or Super start with different rules, personally I preferred the Super start up mode,
Another stunning feature is Dead World, it's like a spin top that can spin in two different directions, holds the ball until "I'll call it" a magnetic crane comes & removes the ball from the spinning top, I don't think I'll ever get tiring to watch this piece of engineering, when I got multi ball I thought I was playing Apollo 13, there were balls everywhere 6 in total, with 4 flippers double the fun, what a blast,so much fun, I have just scratched the surface with the depth this game others,
I'm looking forward to purchasing a Judge Dredd & spending hours of fun exporting each mode.

I was about to start playing in a tournament with my back to this machine, not many players had arrived yet so I was having a play around on some machines & heard the classic call out "where is my f**king money" with that, starting laughing!
I'll start by saying the call outs on this machine are Hilarious! And don't worry I believe there is a family mode! Stern has done a great job connecting the pinball to the movie with the clever use of features like the talking fish which locks your ball long enough for more one lines from the series
Tony's boat which locks the balls for multi ball, a safe to crack, they even have the girls from the club that you can make dance,
not the hardest pinball game around but one of the funniest, a must have pinball for all you Soprano fans or those that want a good laugh with friends & family.

Let's start with one of the most amazing features ever engineered in pinball to this day! the back screen that makes the Star Trek crew DISAPPEAR to resemble the transporter that Star Trek is so famous for !!take a bow Data East,
Another great feature is the under playfield subway with balls disappearing in one location, then shotting out in another location, this feature will keep you on your toes until you have played a few game, at the start of every ball there is a video mode in which UFO's move across the DMD board ,using your torpedo button you shoot it down for a cool million points which increases each new ball, the ramp on this game is very smart switching direction each time.
Data East nailed the Theming, In my opinion the uniqueness of the backboard makes this machine very collectable!!

First feature I noticed , before I even started to play the game, when you play with the flipper buttons the DMD board starts scrolling through the game instructions, wow I really love this & wish all games had this feature! very clever Gottlieb
In the center of the play field is a moving basket ball hoop that just dares you to try & shoot the ball through it, one of those shoots you never get sick of seeing, which has a separate score board of it's own, the baskets you score can be traded, when shooting your ball in a particular ball lock, the game options start flowing, will you take the points or more features that can lead to huge points if you are accurate with the flippers.
This game offers hours & hours of Fun!! & at a affordable price, very under rated, a hidden jewel.
