I may be biased towards this theme because I am an enormous James Bond Fan. When we saw this title coming out, we new it would be a must have inside our collection. I have owned this game for 2 weeks and I am about 80 games in so far. I had read the first reviews about this Pin and saw a few people expressing some frustration about unfinished code. I am confident that the proven industry legend George Gomez, will complete his final code properly. He will satisfy those who are unhappy with the code as it stands. George hasn’t let the average pinball hobbiest down. Let’s let him finish!
As related to the current game play. I love it. Again, this theme naturally calls me in because my love for 007 movies, but I love the shots in this game. I believe it has a fair mixture of easy shots, but also a couple challenging shots to make like the henchman ramp that has to be shot with the upper left flipper. Your timing has to be impeccable to make that shot. I also love the left orbit shot that triggers Jet Pack Multiball. With the next challenging to see if you can get the ball to drop from the Magnet. What a cool toy, and great concept for this theme! On the other end of the spectrum is the easier multiball mode for bird one multi ball. Simply hitting the 3 stand up targets which I don’t personally find to be a drainer shot. This then opens up the 3 locks for Bird one Multiball. These 3 lock shots are easy or accomplish as well. This Multiball feel similar to pounding the 3 lock shots in Godzilla building, but its not as hard to get the locks lit as Godzilla.
I believe this pin covers its basis to Satisfy the needs of players that are the best, average, or beginners as related to game play.
As related to artwork. Sean Connery was my favorite Bond. With Daniel Craig being my second favorite Bond. I like how they incorporated the Bond girls, villains, and Sean Connery throughout the game. I also love the Teal colored powder coat. I think its compliments the artwork perfectly. It’s very fitting artwork and Dot matrix animations for 1960s based movies bringing together a modern Pin. I am trying to think of something negative. At this time I struggle to write something negative. I could see if someone isn’t a James Bond fan than it may not be a title that they could get into, but pinball is kind of like that anyway. Sometimes the theme is what helps keep you coming back for more:)

My son and I received our collectors edition with a butter cabinet a few days ago. We are about 100 games in.
I love that this game is very different from any other pin theme we have. It seems like people either love this game or they don’t. My teenage son is a huge fan of the Halloween series movies. So I am sure you can imagine, we love the title so far. This is by far one of the prettiest games ever made, The butter cabinet is absolutely stunning. I love all the artwork from cabinet, back box, playfield, trans light, and glowing pumpkin light speaker panels. Again this game is gorgeous! The attention to detail was great. The game play is great to me as well. The 3 playfields going at one time during hedge multiball with kids saying “boogieman” “boogieman” boogieman” WOW!!
I felt like I was in the horror movie. Some people complain about the ramp rejections. That does happen, but it doesn’t bother me. It doesn’t happen to me as often as I see people complain about. Before I got my game I was concerned because of the reviews I read, but I can say i don’t agree. Spooky you did a wonderful job. This is like no other pin aside from its brother ultra man. That is something I am proud to own in my collection and I will compliment what your company has created, thank you For making a game that my son is so fired up about

I am a collector that has over 20 machines. I didn’t get the hype about this game. However, After about 10-12 games at an arcade I wanted an LE of my own to complete my Chicago Gaming collection. I now own the Midlevel LE, Attack Le, and the Monster Bash LE. I believe this this the most beautiful of all 3 game. In fact it is one of the prettiest games in my collection. The more I play it the more o love this game. I look forward to seeing more from Chicago Gaming!
Can’t wait to see the cactus canyon:)
Thank you CHC

My friend owns this game. The game pisses me off, and makes me want to keep playing it. It is a hard game. The more I play it the more I like it.

I thought this game was way over rated. However, I had the opportunity to purchase the remake LE recently and have played it over and over since and now have fallen in love with this game. It is simple for beginner players, but yet complicated enough to challenge the better pinballers. Definitely a keeper inside my collection. I also have added the topper, full size color screen, upgraded speakers and subwoofer and color changing speaker lights. All of these improvements also adds to my love for this game.

I played 25-30 games of this at galloping ghost. I do believe the Led Zeppelin premium is by far better than the standard version, but I still think this game is way over rated so far. No comparison between the guns and roses LE and led zeplin premium. I’ll play it more and maybe come up with a better rating.

This game is way under rated in my opinion. This is a perfect balance between the better shooting pin of the 1998 35th anniversary, and the classic 1960s and 1970s feel of the first playboy from 1978. This is the best shooter of the 3 playboy pins. The artwork on play field, cabinet, back box, and back glass look like they tried to combine classic playboy and modern feel. I love how they did that. I only got this pinball machine because it has great articles to read

I have wanted this game for a long time. I was just able to pick it up. It will never leave my collection. I now understand why people haven’t wanted to let this game go from their collections. I believe it is a perfectly balanced 90’s pinball. I love the toys and interaction of this game with the spikes and genie. The magnet dropping and allowing the ball to go below the play field is super cool as well. Williams made so many amazing games in the 90s

I just bought one of the last Wonka CE’s left. I am so glad I was able to get my hands on one of these. I own 9 other pins and have recently had the opportunity to play a different Jersey Jack game. It was my first time playing a Jersey Jack. I fell in love and ordered 2 games including this Willy Wonka CE. I am not a Willy Wonka crazed fan, but after playing this game. I instantly was engaged in the game play. I love the rules. It is a smooth shooter, but yet a difficult challenging set of rules. I also think the artwork in incredible. Lastly the lighting. Jersey jack games are so bright and have vivid colors. I am hooked. Keep them coming Jersey Jack!

I own 9 pins. I have never owned a Jersey jack or even played a jersey jack. I was able to play this just before Christmas. I couldn’t stop playing this game. I believe this is one of the best games ever made. I instantly fell in love with the G&R and wound up ordering one shortly after. I can’t wait until it arrives. I also loved it so much it turned me on to other Jersey jack games. I wound just wound up also buying one of the last Willy Wonka CE’s available after my first impression with Guns & Roses. Keep them coming Jersey Jack

This was the first pinball machine I ever bought in 2002. I still own it. It is a simple play in my collection that anyone can play on with its simple rule set. I probably rate this game a little higher than it deserves, but it was my first pin. So I have a place in my heart for it.
