I'm not a big fan of the theme so I avoided this game for awhile. I was pleasantly surprised when I played it. To me it was sort of a one trick pony (lock balls, hit the targets, start multiball) but the multiplier ramp added another challenge to get a better score. Overall a decent game but not one of my favorites.

Update: a lot has changed and I updated my ratings to reflect those changes. Not only have I gotten into the show Dr. Who, this has become one of my favorite pinball machines. Between multiball, video modes, W-H-O combos, and ramp loops/sonic booms, there are multiple ways to play the game and score. The game is punishing and rewards accuracy. The Time Expander is a great you that doesn't seem to get old for me. Great theme integration and gameplay combine to make DW and underappreciated classic.

I love this game! It features great flow and great integration with the theme. From the castle to the catapult they did a great job matching the gameplay with the theme. I particularly like the callouts and how they tend towards humor and sarcasm. My favorite feature is actually the trolls. I think they're great!

This game is packed with features and is well integrated with its theme. I can't wait to get more plays on it so I'm able to fully explore the gameplay.

One thing I noticed is that the setup can really affect gameplay. I played on table that had weak flippers and I could barely make any of the shots. I played another that was well set up and it was 100% better.

Theatre of Magic looks great and has a great theme. Who doesn't like magic? I enjoy how the modes are tied to different magic tricks.

I had high expectations when I went to play this game. However, I was let down. The modes are too repetitive for me and shooting the trunck repeatedly gets old. I may put a few quarters into one of these but it's off my list of pins to own.

Count me as a fan! This pin combines great looks with really good gameplay. I really enjoy features like the shooting star ball save (looks cool and seems to be more reliable than magnets) and the fireball magnet. The only thing I don't like about the gameplay is the high scoring associated with hitting the lamp again and again.

Congo has a lot going on between the volcano, the lower playfield, the upper flipper, and the pop bumper placement. It generally looks good and has a lot of positive features. Personally, I don't like the theme (I didn't even realize it was a movie) and found it a little too easy. While some shots are difficult, especially through the pop bumpers up the volcano, I found it easy to score points and get to the super multiball. Eventually, collecting diamonds got too repetitive and I started looking for another machine to play.

This is a very deep game that will keep you coming back again and again! The Star Trek theme is expertly integrated into this pin within the artwork and custom callouts. The turret toys are neat but not exceptional in my opinion. I love the borg multiball, especially when you lock a ball in the borg ship and it fires it back at you! My only complaint is that the nature of the game leads to a lot of start/stop action, so you have to be ok with that sort of thing. Overall a great pin.
