Not a top theme for me but it is an amazing game. Great flow and shots.

An amazing game/theme that challenges constantly. Keeps me pressing the start button for one more game.

Amazing game, very immersive!!!

Very surprised by this game! Great value and fun fun fun!

If you are looking for a fun different game this is the one! Drew me in right from the start!! It’s a different layout from the traditional games but a real blast once you get into it.

I have owned this game for approximately a year. It’s likely the most well rounded/balanced game I have played. Very approachable for anyone and challenging enough for most. Just a fun fun game!

Fast....Frustrating....Fun!!!!

Helped a fellow pin collector fix a minor flipper problem a while ago. First time playing this machine or even ever seeing it. I had read about its collectibility and fun game play! I must say I was not disappointed! After the repairs where completed we played several games and it gave me a different perspective on games from that era! Previously to seeing this machine I thought that I had a very clear idea on what I wanted in my collection. Mostly A list machines. That would of been a mistake! Shit, think I’m going to need a bigger space! Hope this helps! Mike

Played this game while on vacation, at a retailers. Sorry to say, “IT WASN’T DIALED IN”!Why this happens!? In spite of this “ WOW “ what a fun game! Personally not a Maiden fan, yet! But I could learn to be! Like the guys on SDTM say “ smooth as butter “! Hope I’m aloud to do that!? Anyway great game, great flow and great call outs! Very interactive! IMHO, A GREAT GAME! Hope this helps! Mike

I had this game in my collection for about 6 months. It was actually my first! For that reason and the circumstances of who was with me when I purchased this machine it holds a special place for me! All that aside, for the time of this machines introduction it is a very impressive game! I would not hesitate to recommend it to the collectors out there as a valued addition or to the new pinball enthusiast. It’s a fun and unique game! Hope this helps! Mike

I have owned this game for approx a year. In my opinion it is one of the best target games of its era and possibly to date! When dialed in it is fast and furious! I feel when you rate a game it should be based on a games strengths and weaknesses! This game “IS NOT” trying to be something it isn’t!
IT’S A TARGET GAME!!! Bonus is it has two ramps, three ball multiball, captive/lockball, Bonus $10,000,000 skill shot, extra ball, special, save ball and a roulette wheel! What the hay!!!!??? Stop trying to compare it to whatever! Just enjoy it! A pinball marvel,for its time, and great machine that has stood the test of time of 31+ years! Hope this helps! Mike

Recently played this game at a retailer, while on vacation. Wasn’t dialed in and the creature wasn’t working! But in spite of this the game was amazing! It was everything I thought it would be and more! I could easily be classified as nostalgic but I don’t feel this had much to do with my rating of this machine! It is what it is——— AMAZING! Hope this helps! Mike

I had this game in my collection for approx a year. It’s cheasy, quirky and weird! But it is action packed and full of all kinds of toys that will rival any game from the past and the present! I would gladly have this game back in my collection! Dollar for Dollar you can not go wrong with this machine! Hope this helps! Mike

Played this game on location. My overall thoughts “ MEH “! I love the band but the game was just lacking in so many ways! The only reason I rated it as high as I did was because of the music! I will say that I am looking forward to playing the premium/LE. I am hoping that it will redeem itself! Hope this helps! Mike

This is a game I recently purchased. Keep in mind that I am not a seasoned pinball player. From a “novice”, not young, view point. This game is very interactive with lots to do and a hoot to play! Could there be more and better call outs? Yes! But this game has plenty and most of them work very well with the game! I have read where some have said that this game is too easy. When I first got my game I would have agreed but I followed some pinside and pinrev advice and dialed the game in, ie:
increased the pitch. It now plays like a totally different game! I was originally posting high scores all the time. Now it is kicking my ass constantly! If you don’t hit your shots just right the ball will come back at you with a vengeance! Which makes those rare times when I do exceptional all that more satisfying! Although, I have to say my wife still really enjoys it. It’s her favourite! Don’t go too steep but you can certainly push it! Hope this helps! Mike

This is my first real pinball. It was the first one that I paid above my budget. The first one that drew me in and the first one that draws me back! I don’t have a whole lot of experience with different machines but I do know that this machine is something special! Will I have it forever? I don’t know! But it is definitely a machine that drives me crazy and draws me back for one more game! I have bought newer machines that I am very impressed with but when you think how a 28+ year old machine can still stand the test of time, kick my ass, and laugh at me while it’s doing it, is pretty darn cool! Hope this helps! Mike
