The LE version of Maiden is an absolute masterpiece. I will never sell this game, it’s perfect in every way. The artwork is incredible, the theme integration, the beast taunting with some of the funniest callouts ever, the light show, killer music, it just sucks you into that beautiful world under glass! My favorite pinball machine and I’ve owned many over the years. Stern knocked this title out of the park and did Maiden proud!

Star Trek is the total package, a masterpiece! The LE is loaded to the max, plays intense and lightning fast, has TONS of modes with unique DMD animations, killer music, light shows and callouts...the rotating playfield laser is an incredible effect! Game is very difficult and challenging and will NOT get repetitive or boring in a home environment. The movie soundtrack code takes it to another level. This game keeps me coming back for more, I'll never sell my STLE!

This game is a masterpiece and a skilled players dream. The LE is really something special, so many toys, amazing sound and theme integration and ultra deep code. One of the best pins of all time!

Best pin I've ever played, hands down. A true masterpiece from JJP!

MB is one of the all-time classics from the 90s DMD era. Very family friendly, recognizable, approachable theme with fairly easy rules, lots of colorful artwork, great humor and fun monster toys to bash on. Outstanding sound, lighting and DMD animations, this game is pure eye candy. Not a difficult game to complete, but the theme and aesthetics make this a Top 5 pin for me.

My all-time #1 player's game. If I had to choose only one pin, I'd keep my AFM solely because it has the most intense and rewarding game-play of any other pin I've owned. Strobe multiball in the dark is the coolest mode ever. The wiggling martians, mothership saucer and fantastic sound and DMD animations add a lot of intensity to this game. There's heavy use of humor in this title and I always get a chuckle out of the callouts and DMD sequences. AFM is a Top 3 all-time pin and the only other games that get my heart pumping like AFM are Shadow and BSD. If you can afford one, GET ONE!

My absolute Holy Grail pin, I will never sell Medieval Madness. MM and Attack from Mars are my all time favorite pins to play and I've owned many over the past 15 years. This game has timeless appeal, amazing artwork, sounds, animations, toys and deep, challenging rules. I've reached BFTK several times, but still haven't been able to Rule the Kingdom. It always keeps me coming back. You don't even need to turn this game on to enjoy it as it's not only a game, but a work-of-art. The value keeps rising on this title and will continue to do so. MM is the pinnacle of pinball greatness and the game is ranked #1 right where it belongs.
