The Big Lebowski Dutch Pinball, 2016
I have wanted this game for years. Wow!! Amazing quality, cabinet is well built, beautiful backglass!! Game shoots like an older Bally/Williams game. Theme is cool. Great video integration. Rules are cool with lots to do. Mechanisms are really nice. Rug and car mechs. I am glad I was able to add the game to my collection. I cannot wait to see what this company does next! Rumor is Back to the Future! We shall see!

Galactic Tank Force (LE) American Pinball, 2023
Fun game. Amazing light and sound package. Fun shooting table. Good design. Nice metal ramps. Cool music. Backglass is really good. Nice art for sure. Game is getting a bad rap. AP struggled on the roll out that’s for sure. Play the game and make your own decision. Theme is a little odd but cool. Not the same old thing as you find in other games. Good pin to add to your collection.

Alien (Limited Version) Pinball Brothers, 2021
The game is absolutely beautiful! Great gameplay and video integration of both Alien and Aliens movies. The sound is so good! I have a sub connected and this enhances the already big sound. I also really love the artwork on the game. The backglass is super cool! The service from PB is excellent. Shawn in the US is very helpful guiding me thru some of the issues I have experienced. Game is now dialed in! I recommend this game.

Legends of Valhalla American Pinball, 2021
Finally got a chance to play LOV. Wow was I impressed. It is really a fun shooting game. The music is great. Cool theme and playfield design. The art work is also super cool. I like it! I was pleasantly surprised with this game. Riot and American pinball hit it out of the park. Hopefully I will own one someday. With all the parts issues the game is hard to get. Order placed! If you get a chance to play the game give it a whirl. You will not be disappointed.

Godzilla (Limited Edition) Stern, 2021
Game has some really cool mechanisms! The magnets in this game are really cool. The shots have amazing flow. The game shoots really well. One of the best games I have played in a while. I cannot wait to see more code added to the game. It appears a lot more is to come. Music is cool. Added subwoofer as always. This helps a great deal. The art package is really nice. I was pleasantly surprised. This will be a top 10’game for sure when completed. Recommend. Just updated to a 10 due to code development. Such a kick butt game. Wow. And it’s not even completed.

The Mandalorian (LE) Stern, 2021
The game is a 10 all day. The Impossible mode is what I play all the time. It will make you a better player for sure. Such a different strategy. I like the layout and shots in the game. Cool video and good call outs. The flow is nice. I like the mini playfield. It moves all over the place. At times a 90
degree angle. Fun to play. I recommend this game. Le is super cool. Backglass is beautiful. I also played the pro and enjoyed that model as well.

Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle Spooky Pinball, 2017
Great Art, butter cabinet and toys. Game difficult to shoot. Takes a lot of practice. The game bricks a lot. It is not a smooth shooting game. This is one of the worst shooting games I owned. So glad I sold it. It’s also very I reliable. I still like Alice Cooper that’s for sure. Grew up with the band!

A beautiful game!!! A great theme. The artwork is amazing!!! I like the way the game shoots. Cool shots. Playfield is nice. A lot less clear for sure. I don’t anticipate any issues. Code is ok however, with Lyman on the job it will be great!!!

Guardians of the Galaxy (Premium) Stern, 2017
So far so good. The game is a lot of fun. The code is making the game better with every release. The artwork is really cool and I like the playfield layout. I added a few toys to the playfield and the game looks really nice and complete. I also added the new speaker light kit that is available. The shots are really fun on this machine. A few tight shots but not hard to me. A nice flow feel for sure.

The Avengers (LE) Stern, 2012
Just picked up a LE blue version. I really like this game. Not sure why the game has such a low rating. I enjoy playing the game. The machine I have is loaded with toys, color dmd, topper, shaker and leds. Also some custom powdercoating. Underrated game for sure.

Total Nuclear Annihilation Spooky Pinball, 2017
I am really enjoying TNA. It is very addictive. I keep coming back to the game. So different than the pins coming out today. The build quality is really good. I ordered the butter graphics and they look amazing. It really makes the game standout. Well worth the money in my opinion. The light show this game will blow you away. So cool. This game plays fast!!! Simple rules just hard a hell to accomplish and advance in the game. The ball lock is unique and different, a great game to play with others. Ball locks can be stolen! If you get a chance to play one do it. You will really enjoy the game!!

Attack From Mars (Remake - LE) Chicago Gaming Co., 2017
Game is really fun. The topper, speaker lights and color dmd look great. The mirror blades also look cool
You really get your monies worth. Solid build. Small
Issue with lockdown bar powder coating. Stamp showing in metal. Other then that machine plays and looks great.

Star Wars (LE) Stern, 2017
I have had my LE the past couple of weeks. Had no issues out of box. Game plays great. I agree that the quality is no where near the new games coming from Chicago gaming. Stern did add cabinet bracing to this game LE which is a plus. Should have invisi glass, shaker motors, real backglass and toppers included for all LE games! A plus on the LE is now you get all three translights. Now for gameplay. This game is top notch. Steve Ritchey does an amazing job with design. The game is so fast and fun. Great Flow! The animations are amazing. This makes the game really entertaining. I really like the Tie Fighter mode. A real challenge to score on this mode while playing the flippers. Game code is early but good. They must have put quite a bit of time into this game. Toys are limited so I added three. Looks better now. Music is amazingly good as well as the lighting. Look forward to additional code.

Aerosmith (LE) Stern, 2017
The game is so much fun to play. I have a LE. The build quality is good. Better the my last game. Seems to have a better clearcoat on the playfield. The artwork on the game is amazing. I grew up with Aerosmith and like the songs. Several
Song are from the Rocks album which is one of my favorite. Overall I really enjoy the game. Easy and fun to play. Not a difficult game like others I own.

Transformers (LE) Stern, 2011
I have had the game since new. Nice game. Was first Stern game with leds if I recall correctly. Just added speaker lights and color dmd. A fun game. A workout to play. Low scoring in my opinion. Recommend the game. Can be challenging. Overall a solid game. Should be rated higher.

Rob Zombie's Spookshow International Spooky Pinball, 2016
I have a regular edition. Amazing art work. The back glass is so cool. The mods are challenging. Hard as hell. Add a ball is so cool. Multiball is so fun. Hit 1000 corpses right out of the box and since then not once. Music is good. The bass is amazing. Color DMD is so nice. Video mode is fun. I have the upgraded lighting and plastics. Also got added toys. Added topper from laseriffic. Visually a beautiful game. The game play is really fast. I'm mean fast. A real challenge to keep up with multiball. Quite the workout. Overall I am very the game. The only issue I have is the ball on occasion gets hung up near the target. Hopefully a fix is on the way. I recommend the game!!

Ghostbusters (Premium) Stern, 2016
The game is amazing and a ton of fun. For early code it is well done. A lot of great modes. A color dmd would make the game even better. This a a well designed playfield with a ton of toys. Hats off to the design team for bringing back a cool theme. Job well done!! Get the color DMD it really makes the game that much cooler!!! The new code has made this my favorite game in my collection!

Big Guns Williams, 1987
Just picked up a Big Guns. I restored the game to better than new. Put some Leds in the backbox. Otherwise orginal. The game is really fast. I love the artwork on the translight. The cannons are so cool. This should be a higher rated game. For its time would say it is right up there with any of the other games produced. I recommend this game. They are very affordable and a good value.

America's Most Haunted Spooky Pinball, 2014
Cool game. Great build quality. Good ball flow. Satisfying shots. I love the theme of the game. Super funny and a little silly. The game has a lot of modes. Good animation. Also has a neat video mode. Overall I am very impressed. The staff at Spooky are really nice. The only issues I had with the game were a bad dmd which is being replaced and some stuck ball issues. I am working these out with adjustments as I play the game more. The lighting is also in need of more lights. The game needs to be brightened up. That's it. Can't wait to see the new title from Spooky. Overall I recommend the game. I cannot seem to stop playing the game. It pulls you in big time.

Mustang (LE) Stern, 2014
The Mustang LE is a under rated game. The game is a lot of fun. The newest code is amazing. It changed the game quite a bit. I do get tired of the same music. Would like to add some new songs. The game plays really fast. It is very addictive. The artwork is very cool. The car looks amazing on the cabinet. This was a nice addition to my collection. If you are a Mustang fan it is a must!! New color LCD is so cool. This is a underrated game. Super fast and fun!!!!

Wizard of Oz Jersey Jack, 2013
A beautiful game. Fun to play. Very challenging. I have owned the game for about 8 months. Unfortunately my game from day one was plagued with issues. The metal box was dislodged. The game would not start. All the wires were disconnected. They also forgot to attach the metal rescue ramp. The ball would just fly off. The rescue play field has been off five times. The right door sticks.It appears they rushed the game out. Poor QC.Lloyd is the only saving grace for me. He sent me the parts I need. Hopefully I can finally fix the door issue. I am tired of taking the rescue play field off. I am taking a pass on any more Jersey Jack machines at this time

The Walking Dead (LE) Stern, 2014
The game is a lot of fun. It keeps you coming back for more. Recommend!!! The code releases have made this game awesome. I am so glad I have a mint LE machine. This game is great. Get one if you can. The machine is officially a 10. The best coded machine to date!!!!!

The Walking Dead (Pro) Stern, 2014
I purchased a LE version of TWD. This is really a fun pin. I have the newest code to date. The game is coming along fine. Once the code is complete this will be a top rate game. The theme is great. I also like the artwork and toys. The shots are very satisfying. I love the back glass and cabinet. I cannot seem to stop playing the game. The lighting is cool. I am adding the bicycle girl lighting. This area is dark. I also added the Woodbury sign. I plan to get the Stern topper for this one and the shaker motor. I.am not sure why the machine did not come with shaker motor. In my opinion for what these machines cost this should be included as well as the topper. Overall I like the game and recommend.

Medieval Madness Williams, 1997
We own a HEP MM with all the mods, and the game is simply fantastic. It has a very deep rule set, and it takes a lot of practice to master this game. However, once you accomplish that you will be amazed.
