I really like this game and am trying to get better at it. Sometimes the scoring is a little confusing to me. Not a lot of cheap drains though and lots of replayability with using the different houses. One ding for me is that with so much source material to work with there is really just the one toy in the dragon.

This was the first pin I owned and am just in the process of selling it after 6 years. It is a classic, mine is in great shape, but if you only have space for 1-2 machines I wouldn't recommend owning unless you are a big Simpsons fan just because the lastability just isn't there. It is a bit of a drain machine, the rules are super simple. It has an amazing look some of the best back glass ever and a great conversation piece in your place, but if you want more rules there are other Data East machines that are deeper. If you have space for a huge collection it is a nice add. It will always be a special one to me because it was the first pin I ever bought.

Just played this for the first time and it is great. Love the variety of shots, modes, lack of cheap drains. Great integration of the theme. I guess one slight downside is it is just average from a cabinet look perspective. Really fun though.

I loved playing this game at my local arcade for awhile and it is fun, but it gets a bit stale. For an older title it is solid and you will enjoy, I couldn't imagine owning one though it would get played out quickly.

I'm into boxing so especially drawn to the theme. It is a lot of fun and has some of the best gimmicks and toys out there especially for an older machine. The fighter, jump rope, heavy bag and speed bag are great. Visually I would have changed a few things. At least on the one I have played it is a little dim lighting wise. I think the bright green center ramp things are kind of ugly. The back glass is good, but the cabinet is boring and just blah. If I ever got one I would custom paint the cabinet. I would love to own one though.

It is a fun older game. Good sound effects and horror theme. Nothing earth shattering, but I like it. Also the door handle instead of plunger is really cool.

I absolutely love this machine. Great toys, modes, shots, art, awesome quirky theme with great voiceover by Alice Cooper. My one and only beef is that at least on the only one I've played if you shoot the left orbit it comes around and is basically an auto drain down the middle from the right side unless you give the machine a good jiggle. It seems silly to be punished for hitting a shot and I don't think you should have to risk a tilt over it. Honestly though that is the only thing I dislike about it if I could find/afford one I would get it in a heartbeat.

The music, cabinet, and backglass are amazing. Man is it sparse though. There are three basic ramps, the one small valkyrie toy...and that's pretty much it. The playfield and layout could be reskinned to be basically any theme. The music variety is great, it plays clean not a lot of cheap drains, but I couldn't imagine paying full price for this. It feels like they took very cookie cutter and basic pinball layout and just threw Zeppelin music and graphics on it.

I want to like it because it is nice to play something once in awhile that isn't cartoony and goofy, but it is an absolute drain monster to the point that it gets frustrating. I never watched the show, so that is neither here nor there for me. I like the toys a lot they are fun to bash. Never been a big fan of plastic ramps they seem cheap. I like that the rules are deep enough, but not overly complex. I just end up getting frustrated with it due to how many dud games you get. I only play it at this one local place where all games are 50 cents, I would never pay $1 per play.

As far as the rock themed games go this is a really good one. Great music, lots of good shots, cannon is really cool.

This is a great machine and I am excited to play it more as the rules are really deep. In terms of the movies am not a diehard JP fan, but glad they kept it to the original for nostalgia the theme is really well done with great sound effects and music.

It is difficult, but fun. The cabinet, backglass, art, and sound are fantastic. I love the popper replacing the left bumper. My only beef is I guess it is just a little bare. There aren't really a ton of shots or toys.

I just have never liked this machine even though I know everyone considers it an all time classic I don't understand the hype. I played it many times and it doesn't keep me coming back. It doesn't seem that unique in terms of the shots and toys, and the artwork and lighting are really blah to me compared to other high level machines.

Always a fun machine. Has enough rules to be interesting without being overcomplicated. Artwork is unspectacular but not bad.

I think it is a little overly complex, but it has grown on me. I think if I play it a bit more I will get the hang of the rules. There are a good variety of shots, but not too much wow factor on toys and gimmicks especially considering how much they have to work with for a theme. Above average, and def a lot to explore. I would still recommend Deadpool if you like Marvel. Art and sound effects are really well done.

This machine is strangely addictive. It is very hard, I wish I had a location where it wasn't a buck per game. You really have to master the unique lane ball save. While it is simple it is incredibly addictive where you want to just keep running it back. Sounds and art are amazing. I think its uniqueness as an original modern machine that is so simple and different from the Stern licensed superhero and band machines makes it great.

I categorize this not as bad, but more as overrated. It just doesn't rev my engine the way it does for a lot of people. The rules are a little over-complicated, and I don't really get the theme it seems like there should be at least a little more hard rock theming? The art is cool, I just don't really get it. I like that it plays smooth and doesn't have a lot of cheap drains. Might be this is just more of a really hardcore pin players machine (that is who I usually see playing it at the arcade). Maybe it will eventually grow on me.

I love this game it is one of my top 3 I would say. Surprised it isn't higher. Strikes that balance of lots to do without being ridiculously complicated. I hate games that have a lot of cheap drains and this isn't one of them it keeps the fun high being able to keep the ball in play.

This game plays smooth with great art and sound effects. I like that it gives fair ball saves to make up for how wide the space between the flippers is. But I find the rules and shots really confusing and that lowers the fun factor. Once I got a really high score and I didn't even know how I did it. I also am kind of meh on the movie itself so I think that lowers the excitement for me.

This machine is average to me. The ramps are very cool and it has a unique color scheme. I just have a hard time getting decent scores on it I think it just isn't my machine lol. In the arcade I go to that has 40 pins it's not one I come back to very often.

This is a highly addictive machine. Lots of fun toys between the pop up trolls and the castle plus the catapult is super satisfying. Great playfield artwork. Good rules that are deep enough without being frustratingly complicated. Only two minor beefs: one I wish you could get one of the multi balls again rather than it just creating the castle hurryup if you had already gotten one before. Second I wish it had a plunger instead of a big red vending machine style button that feels super cheap on such a nice machine.

Special place for this one because it is what got me hooked on pinball in my early 20s after having not played since being a kid. Really fun, good shot variety and the Klingon multiball actually feels rewarding because lighting the locks isn’t super easy and you need to do it again to get the last lock. Sounds are great. Not a lot of cheap drains so you can really get in a flow. The back glass for me is very meh I feel like they could have done a way better job on that, otherwise I love it highly recommend.

This machine is def fun and well designed. Not quite as addictive as some others, but that may just be a personal preference for me. I love that there aren’t a lot of cheap drains you really feel like you are in a flow with it. Highly recommend.

This pin seems like such a waste considering it having the theme of all themes to work with. The rules are deep, but the out lanes are so incredibly hungry it kills the fun. There is just no way to get in a good flow on it even though it has lots of modes and there is variety with being able to play as the four different characters. It’s really hard to get to the fun stuff, but not in a good way. More in a “maybe I’ll get extremely lucky where I don’t get a ton of cheap drains” way it seems like you can play it forever and it feels like more luck than skill. While the comic book version is gorgeous, the art on this one is really kind if blah to me. Video mode gets old real fast. Also getting a multiball is really rare. Overall this is a big L given what it could have been with some tweaks.

This is one of my all time favorites. Fun and fair, but not easy. Lots of cool shots and I enjoy the feel of it. Great theme. Can take a little long to get the hang of the rules and a feel for it I love it though.
