An A-rank pin that easily overcomes its unfortunate theme. Shots and flow are incredibly satisfying. Sound is amazing. Difficulty is off the charts. This is a HARD machine, but it always pulls you back in for another round of punishment. When you find your groove and everything comes together, there's no better pin in the world, as far as I'm concerned. Magnetic ball lock? Super fun mini playfield? Amazeballs.

I agree with other reviewers that this game does a superb job as a target game and doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Shots are challenging yet achievable, sound effects are great (except the lack of speech), and and it has plenty of features to make things interesting. Love the stargate ramp, roulette wheel, and of course the 10,000,000 point shot. I love the way the ramp lights up when you hit it; especially cool with LEDs.

Will it ever break the top 100? No, probably not. Do cool pins exist outside of the top 100? Yes they do. I think this is one of them.

I really enjoy hitting the ramps on this game. They're just so fluid and satisfying. The reel ball lock is also quite neat. The music certainly fits the theme, but it really doesn't do much for me. The gameplay more than makes up for it though!

Excellent game. I live for Borg multiball. Makes all the difference to have the actual cast doing the voices. The music is just as good as the show, but it tends to grind on me after a while, due to the repetition. A giant pain to maintain, but an absolute pleasure to play.

One of my all-time favourites. I could play this every day for years and still have more to learn.

This is a really fun pin. The rules aren't nearly as deep as others, but the goals are clear and the gameplay mechanics work very well. Sound gets a little repetitive, but well within my tolerance level. I haven't found one of these for sale in my area, but I'd snap it up if one popped up.

I fell in love with this machine in 2019. I can only imagine how awesome it must have been in 1987. The artwork is exceptional (LOVE the backglass) and the music is fantastic, even compared to modern machines. It was born for LED conversion. The high score light show makes me feel like a rock star and I don't even know where to begin about condition green. Admittedly, the rules are basic compared to the deep gameplay of its modern successors, but the gameplay is so satisfying I keep coming back again and again and again.

This was my first pin and an excellent start for my collection. Lots of action on the upper playfield and, although fairly unpredictable, gameplay on the lower playfield is very exciting, thanks to the center pop bumper and the horseshoe. Lively pop bumpers and new rubbers make the game come alive.
