Liked the layout early on but sceptical about the code so I waited to see how this game developed and OH BOY!!!! What a difference with updated code 0.99 this game is fun, fast and amazing……….it has to be up there in sterns best 5 games! It’s definitely up there for me in sterns top 3 games with Zilla and Jurrasic.
Glad I waited and 100% happy now I own a premium.

Jack Danger has done a brilliant job on his first real pinball, it’s a great flowing game with great shots! It’s an instant winner and look forward to some more innovation from Jack Danger in his next pinball.

Build quality is great, good flowing game with exceptional lighting! Upper playfield is well utilised, the rug is innovative as well as the bowling.
This is a great pinball, the whole package is beautiful!

Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle Spooky Pinball, 2017
Spooky have nailed this title, picked one up recently and love the total package!
Some say the shots are tight, I say get better at pinball, the shots are more than satisfying!
My first spooky machine and I’m loving it.

Munsters (Limited Edition) Stern, 2019
After the latest code the game has changed to be a really good shooter with the rules incorporated very well.
It is quite a fun game to play, nice ramp shots and loops, the underneath playfield plays better then most games that have this feature and you can also get multiball in that mode.
Overall a nice fun enjoyable pin with a great art package.

Guns N' Roses (LE) Jersey Jack, 2020
What can you say but the best music pinball out their period!
The lighting, the shots, the artwork, the game play is all amazing, easily one of the best pins made!
My only grip is it doesn’t feel as sturdy as the other JJP pinballs, the build of the other jjp pins feels robust and solid!
Still the best music pin to date and right up there with one of the best pins of all time, should easily be a top 5 pin

Houdini American Pinball, 2017
Bought one of these and was quite surprised how good and fun it was, yes it has tight shots but enjoy the modes and the skill needed to complete these.
They have added some nice touches like the locks and chains, cool idea with the stage and to be quite honest the trunk shot is a amazing idea and how accurate this is!
I think this pin is a hidden gem and what a great first title by AP can’t go wrong plus I got magic glass, shaker motor and art blades with this for no extra cost!
Win win

Avengers: Infinity Quest (Premium) Stern, 2020
Awesome game I’m i sucker for ramps but this is extremely good as you can make most shots of any flipper and the third flipper has good integration!
Awesome rule set awesome fun and awesome flow it’s another title from stern that has that X factor!!!

Led Zeppelin (LE) Stern, 2020
Played the LE at a friends place had really good flow, loved the magic spinner, the Ramos are tight but rewarding and can be hit off either flipper all in all it was actually really fun!
I like the fact Stern are adding in different game modes like on Zep “Top of the chart challenge” that was also fun!
Only downside is that most of your shots are left hand sided and the right side has only 3 real shots but other then that a great game.
Ps - I’ve played the pro and wouldn’t buy one it’s premium or above for this title.

Ritchies finest - Never okayed the original but the new one is amazing, I have the stern topper as well which I must say is probably one of the best toppers ever made.
Hopefully another code drop soon will make this pin jump another level!

Amazing machine that makes you feel part of the game, I don’t know why this machine cops some negative responses because of ball times it is totally amazing and it’s a shooters pinball not a bash em pin! It has to be one of the best movie pins ever released.
The code is next level!!!

Ghostbusters (Premium) Stern, 2016
This game is absolutely amazing, it could be JTs best game to date, packed with toys great risk and reward shots and the art work is some of the best out there not to mention the music and lighting is sensational, slimmer looks well detailed and the lights glowing off him really brings him out.
This games keeps you coming back for more and if this is the last game to use a dmd what a way to finish on.........this will go down as a stern classic and all the rave reviews are warranted!!!
Who you gonna call!!!

WWE Wrestlemania LE (Legends of Wrestlemania) Stern, 2015
Pretty good machine, I think once more code hits it will be a killer game........I like the spinner and ring, has a good extra flipper and really like the loops up the ramps, I'm a fan and now own number 28 all the way here in Australia
Code update 1.33 has made this game a beast!!!

WWE Wrestlemania (Pro) Stern, 2015
Played on the 4/5/2015 and was impressed even tho code needs updating, good ramp shots, good lower orbit shot that gets some speed up on......... this game has potential to be one of the best, like the fact you have to wrestle different characters and you can upgrade skills for easier pins......... this will have a bit of depth but it needs more code code code get some out there. (played on a pro)

Royal Rumble (WWF) Data East, 1994
Great game and some tricky little shots, nice long ramp shot on the left, good mini playfield adds a good touch, I like the playfield art it should be rated higher in the top 100, but I believe its due to the theme although I love it, (awesome nostalgia if your a wwf/wwe fan).

Mustang (Premium) Stern, 2014
Very underrated machine, its all about the GEARS targets and trying to get the 6th gears......this is where the big scoring is, great flow, music is good and the update has made this machine so much better with the extra modes and multiballs.

Mustang (Pro) Stern, 2014
Very underrated, once you learn that the gears multi ball it becomes more interesting, gears = 3,4,5 and 6 ball multi and to get to the 5 and 6 gear you must hit the targets behind the gears letters....... looking forward to the new code update...... challenges are fun and lighting is pretty good.

Fish Tales Williams, 1992
Fun fast game, great ramp shots and you can even do a U-turn..... good call outs and video mode, tight left hand loop shot but rewarding when hit and right hand loop is pretty quick.
Great flow to this game and fast paced always something to shoot for, hopefully adding this to my collection soon.
Looks good with Led's......How big was it!

Medieval Madness Williams, 1997
Finally got to play one of these....... heard so much hype and people drooling over this I found it fun to play and enjoyed it but I'm not too sure it deserves the number 1 ranking and I couldn't see myself rushing out to pay the huge amount of money this machine commands.

Maverick Data East, 1994
Maverick for a 20 year game has some good game play and can be fun, its not that bad of a game and has a good gambling theme.
On the downside the colour of the cabinet is terrible and when locking a ball on the boat it takes a while to lock.
It is a fun game but one that will get boring very quickly.

Im so addicted to this machine, has great long ramp shots, awesome multi ball at regular intervals with some of the best music to go with it. Love the inline targets and the moveable snakes head.........great use of the hammer and some rest lighting when you light up Sparky.......all in all a great machine which I will be adding to my collection very soon.

Last Action Hero Data East, 1993
They should really look at bringing updates out for these older machines, this game has so many imbalances and the rule set seems out of whack that if they updated at he code.......it could be a good machine.

No Fear: Dangerous Sports Williams, 1995
I finally played a decent machine in good condition, wow it is super fast and has great flow, very simple game that anyone can be good at but its a challenge to be good at it all the time........ jump ramp is cool and have managed 8 jumps in a row, really enjoyed this and was great fun with mates.

Time Machine Data East, 1988
Wow what a sleeper, found one tonight that was blinged out and was quite surprised in the outcome, great speed, ramps were awesome and tough just make sure the flippers are strong. You play through different decades 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s with all the different music to suit, for a game that's made in the 80s this is amazing with an open playfield like new 2000 machines and a quirky feel to it, if you get a chance find one and play it.

The Sopranos Stern, 2005
Played this tonight for a good hour to give it a go........terrible game that felt cheap and nasty, hitting ramps to hard to lock a ball makes them bounce back, ugly head board and ugly machine. For the price of this pin your better of grabbing or paying a little more for a better machine.......Stern missed the boat on this one, it just feels so cheap and nasty.

Creature from the Black Lagoon Bally, 1992

Tales of the Arabian Nights Williams, 1996
Great game and deserves its spot in the top 10, great ramps, cool spinning Jeanie pot that pushes the ball around, tough skill shot you have to get the right strength when using the plunger.......graphics look awesome, the game might be just on the easy side but everything else is awesome, except for the high price if you want to buy one.

X-Men (LE) Stern, 2012
With the new download the game plays much better, however found it hard to see up the top of the playfield as it was blocked with so much crammed into one corner........hate it when the ball gets stuck on the wolverine arm, is not a bad game just has had a few hang ups.

wow what a game, awesome multi ball modes and great ramp shots as you cruise thru all the LOTR movies, def fast paced action all the way.......excellent sound, I liked the pf art but ,raked it down for using photo shop images........I can see why this is a top 5 pinball machine.

Jack*Bot Williams, 1995
I just acquired an amazing one in collector quality and have been addicted every since, awesome double or nothing poker where if you don't hit the shot you lose all of your bonus points........it's actually a deep game and the more multiballs you get the harder it gets.

Dont judge this machine on a couple of plays, once you have learned the rules and objectives it is a very awesome machine. Dirty Harry is so underatred.......it has great flow and jackpot to super jackpot is smooth as, multiball and gun is a great fun!!! Don't forget that hidden mode at 12 midnight its MIDNIGHT MADNESS MODE!

Better depth then T2 a great machine that is underrated, the wizard mode is awesome and fast paced you even have to shoot the gun at the same time during the 4ball multi,love the translite mini game it adds a good touch......I have one that is fully shopped and looks amazing with well placed led's.

A decent game, can be hard to go for the jackpot as 5 passengers needed with one ball to activate this although there is a passenger save target.......once mastered it can get boring but a decent game over all
