I am really enjoying this game. Yes, as others have said, it's not as smooth as my Steve Ritchie games, but it's still a lot of fun to shoot/play and the overall experience is excellent. Still learning the shots, but when I do make them they work well (even the Katana ramp shot). I look forward to the rules being further developed and along those lines, would like for there to be more callouts telling me what to do/shoot for. There are some, and I am learning what to do, but more would be appreciated.

This was a game I thought I was really going to like in person (having played and enjoyed it on Pinball Arcade), but I finally got a chance to play the actual game and I was disappointed. It was't bad, but I thought I would like it more and actually started getting bored with it after several games.

I don't own this game in my collection, but when I have played it, I always things it is great, for the time period and even today! 5 ball multi-ball, inline drop targets, cool sounds/voice, and I love the creepy feel/visuals.

I thought I was going to really like this game having played the video version of it, but when I had the opportunity to actual play the real game in person, it wasn't anything like what I expected. It didn't feel "good" and I felt more like I was just trying to keep the ball from draining than actually playing the game. It has more going for it than say a T2, but at least with the T2 it feels "good" and I felt like there was more purpose to my shots. Maybe I just didn't pick up the game quick enough despite having played it online, but it didn't play like I had hoped.

This game seems to really divide people. Some people love it (I do) and others don't. I don't compare it to the games that came after it that perhaps were more complex, but those games also generally cost more. To me, it was a nice addition to my collection. Not as basic as my early SS game, but not as advanced as my later DMD game. Sometimes I don't feel like playing a complicated game, and just want to play a fast game with good flow and a theme that I really enjoy (yes, I am a terminator fan and unlike most people, thought the original was the very best). I think I might get bored if this was the only game in my collection (although they can be purchased for a reasonable price), but with several games it fits in very nicely and won't be leaving any time soon.

What a fun and creative game. I originally was not planning on getting one (I am not a golfer), but was persuaded to give it a try and loved it. The gofers are funny, and the overall the game is just a lot of fun to play. It also feels "good" with the right amount of flow. It also has a nice balance of not being too difficult but also not being too easy. It also seems to attract the widest group of family and friends to play.

For an early SS, this is a fun game. While more basic than newer games, the Blackout is fun to try to achieve, first by hitting the various targets and then going for the Blackout hole to achieve the Blackout. Makes you want to keep playing until you achieve that goal. Speech is basic, but a part of history (early speech in pinball that they starting to eliminate for awhile when pinball was going downhill and they were looking to save costs). Artwork is good/classic space theme. Guests also like this game as it's easy to explain to them what to do. Overall, despite being the oldest game in my collection, I find myself playing it as much as the other newer games,

When I was looking to purchase a game this wasn't even on my list. But after playing it, I was hooked! It fun, flashy, fast, and while I agree that the artwork is cheesy, it fits the theme of the game and the time period. While the theme song is repetitive, it's also catchy (and there are other songs as well). Overall, what makes a game great for me is the replay value and this game has great replay value.
