Pinicus's ratings

Played this at PNW pinball. Of all the games there I played this the most and was very impressed by the game play and multi play options. I will own this at some point if I have room when I find one.

Played this at a brewery in Kelowna. They had a lot of new sterns but found that I spent pretty much the whole time on this. Some great shots and some cool features. A gate that protects the outlane, good scoring that makes the bonus balls on the back glass a key shot in the game, the right flipper has a gap at the end that can work for or against you, and the plinko style right side. When I got home I saw this game for sale and bought it. My first EM and I am now on quest to search out EMs and this was the pin that started it for me. Now that I’ve done the lights I absolutely love this game. Its theme is so perfect for the era and when people hear I have 300 they think Spartans. I love the unassuming nature of this thing and for so cheap it’s getting more love than my Godzilla premium right now.

I was a fairly regular guest at the playboy mansion so when I saw this pin I had to have it. The backglass art is fantastic. It really captures the vibe of Hef and Playboy. The trifold centerfold like how the magazine would fold out is just brilliant. The call outs are a bit disappointing. Too bad they didn’t use Hefs voice. Music isn’t great either. I ended up selling mine and found it to be more difficult to sell than other titles. I think there is a more limited amount of people that are interested in non family friendly titles. I am keeping an eye out for a nice example though or hoping they release another one. Definitely one I might have again.

The game is amazing. It just gets better and better the more you play.

Things I love
-Drake Building coming down to your choice of music selection to Godzilla multi ball and how each level of the building changes the path of the ball is pinball genius
-Great shots and fast playing
-strategy involved in battling different monsters
-getting frustrated by getting a multi ball like tank multi ball blocking progression of the scoop or trying to hit the scoop to stack the battle with a mecha multi ball and hitting mecha Godzilla multi ball by accident aiming for the scoop. There’s something about getting a multi ball and then getting annoyed that I love
-great skill shots
-both outlane saves are great
-great soundtrack and call outs. King of the Restarts! Haha, I’m usually pretty annoyed by the time I hear that one.

-Mods
Art of pinball bridge, saucer, and mecha Godzilla rotation target upgrade
Mezel Mods building upgrades
Diddys Tesla Towers and Naegle building
stumblor Godzilla toy and Kaiju battle sign
Glo Balls. The green looks great and love the speed but they really dirty the game so I took them out
Godzilla scales flipper decals
Shaker Motor
Center post from pinball life and Abe flips skill shot correction are must haves.

This game was an absolute surprise for me. I have a cabin and bought it solely for the art never having played or even seen one. If I was to have based it off ratings I probably wouldn’t have gotten it but what I found out is this is a very underrated pin. I wonder if it’s being rated by vegans. It’s a very fun game with fun call outs. I also noticed after I got it that it’s actually fairly tough to find. I’m very happy with this game and it’s going to be with me for the long haul.

I was very excited to try one at my local spot but covid hit and they stopped pinball. I was so eager to play and finally found a great deal on a used one. I was very eager to check out the co op mode. What a great idea. It’s very well done with the theme in that it’s fun like how the turtles are. Fun for anyone and every level. Kind of reminded me of an inverted whirlwind. The pizza multi ball magnet when the pizza spins is awesome. Shots are a bit tight but there are some good ones. The lair shot was a cool one but the ball would drain coming out of it. Love how the shots change with each turtle. I found it drained a lot. I would lose almost every ball via drains every game which got to be frustrating. Call outs got to be a bit repetitive after awhile but I thought the music was good. I found myself singing the turtles song all the time. Eventually parted ways with it but I would still play it out if I saw it.

Quite possibly the most beautiful pinball machine in existence. So much to do. So many things to go for. JJP knocked it out of the park on this one.

Absolutely love this game. Best music in pinball. How come there hasn’t been a band like apocalyptica to cover it with a classical twist? Super fast and fun. It’s absolutely gorgeous. A masterpiece.

The first pinball machine I played back in the day. I got one about two years ago to start my home collection and it is just awesome. It’s amazing that many of the current new releases with all the gimmicks and toys can’t come close to how this plays and how it keeps you coming back. It utilizes everything right. The spinner, drop targets, pop bumpers, multi balls, shots-it is to me a true representation of a great pinball machine. One of the best for sure.
