Littleton, CO
Whoa! Have it sitting next to my AFMle thinking it’s the same layout so I’d sell one of them. After 6 months I can’t let this one go (still can’t let AFM go either ). It’s like attack on steroids. By far the most immersive pin I’ve ever owned. Playing it literally sucks u into its world.
Other than the obvious mods (cleland sound, uv light kit) a couple of absolutes are an external sub and the black screens for the projector.
Playing on location gives this game no justice for immersion as well as the ability to properly dial it in.

Scared Stiff Bally, 1996
Such a classic shooter with a simple ruleset. Theme and artwork on point, hilarious callouts and scared stiff wizard mode reachable by average players. Still haven’t reached spider multiball after years of playing.

Elvira's House of Horrors (Premium Edition) Stern, 2019
One of the best machines ever made imo. Absolutely nailed it with the flow, ruleset, theme, depth and the hilarious callouts. A perfect follow up to the classic scared stiff.

AC/DC (Premium) Stern, 2012
As with most of my ratings I wanted to own this for a while before I could give it an accurate rating. It’s been I’m my collection now for over 5 years and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Obviously the theme is a huge part but this pin shoots like a dream. It’s fast and can be brutal. Top 5 machine all time in my book.
Must have mod is an external sub.

Jurassic Park (Limited Edition) Stern, 2019
One of the best machines ever made. Great theme integration, great shot variety and a ruleset that’s easy to follow.

Houdini American Pinball, 2017
So close to being a all time classic. AP put a lot of effort into making this machine on par with JJP & Stern LEs. Just feels solid and has a lot of fun toys & gimmicks.
The downside is it’s just too dang tight. Specifically the ball lock inlane is ridiculous. Owned and really enjoyed it for a few months but eventually it had to go.

Attack From Mars (Remake - LE) Chicago Gaming Co., 2017
Incredible machine. CGC did it right reproducing such a legendary pin. The added touches with the larger screen & speaker panel plus what might be the best topper in all of pinball nicely add to an already classic. Fast, challenging and humorous.

Medieval Madness Williams, 1997
This machine just hits on all levels. Flawless theme, artwork, call outs, rule set and shots. Only perfect rating I’ve ever given

The Shadow Bally, 1994
Fast challenging pin. So much going on every time the ball comes down to the flippers. One of the best video modes ever. Fun but didn’t last long in a smaller collection.

The Simpsons Pinball Party Stern, 2003
Very fun machine. Love the balanced scoring and depth. Not a fast game but has a huge selection of shots and modes. Fits nicely in a small collection

Total Nuclear Annihilation Spooky Pinball, 2017
Feels like a great game that was designed 40 years ago. Good ruleset and awesome sound. Extremely lackluster pf layout by any machine designed after the 80s

Bram Stoker's Dracula Williams, 1993
Great shooters game. One of very few pins that punish for shooting up the middle. Stacking multiballs and hitting ramps are soo satisfying.

No Good Gofers Williams, 1997
A year in my small collection and still no plans to sell. With a deeper code this game would be in my top 10. Hole in one and super jackpot are the best shot in any pin.

Earthshaker Williams, 1989
Not a good pin for a smaller collection. Got it to pair with my whirlwind but it’s just way too repetitive. It does have a good jackpot shot with multiball but doesnt play much into high scores. It’s hard to play it again after hitting the center ramp for 99 miles.

Fish Tales Williams, 1992
Fun game with a fun theme. Not too much to shoot at but a good ruleset and rewarding ramps keep it fun. Good pin for a smaller collection as it doesn’t get old quickly

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Stern, 2003
Fun pin with plenty of rewarding ramp shots. Biggest problem is that the games last too long. Spend 20 minutes on 3 ball game and still fall well short of high scores.

Freddy: A Nightmare On Elm Street Gottlieb, 1994
No rhyme or reason whatsoever with this pin. Nothing fluid, very little to shoot at. Reward for launching the ball is multiball...woohoo!

High Speed Williams, 1986
Really fast machine with overall good layout. Couple stoplight shots lead to ball drains. Good in a larger collection

Black Hole Gottlieb, 1981
Very difficult machine. Slower upper pf feels 70s and fast lower pf feels 90s. A good one to own due to its difficulty, will improve any player. Great for both smaller and larger collection.
