Received our pro and were blown away! We've always been LE buyers but decided against an upper playfield game as we used to own GnR and had WOZ here for awhile & it aint our thing. (Also the fact that LE's are now over 20k in Australia) This game ROCKS and is FAST. Its definitely a players machine. If you pull off combos, they are the most satisfying shots we have ever experienced on a machine. The animations are superb! Well done to all involved, we're hooked like never before!

Godzilla (Limited Edition) Stern, 2021
Brilliant game! I can't really see any other pinball competing with the multitude of whats going on in the world under glass of Godzilla! Stern has truly outdone themselves with this incredible pinball machine, and it's no wonder that it has quickly become a fan favorite among pinball enthusiasts around the world.

Jurassic Park (Premium) Stern, 2019
My most favourite stern.
I’ve owned quite a few over the past 10 years, but this is the very best game stern have put out.

Guns N' Roses (CE) Jersey Jack, 2020
This game has literally blown me away. I’ve never owned a pin that’s got me this hooked before! When they say JJP is the Rolls Royce of pinball, they ain’t wrong! Theme integration is second to none. Light show is phenomenal.
Lay out is brilliant. Software so far is really clever and well implemented.
Well done Eric And JJP!

Jurassic Park (Limited Edition) Stern, 2019
Sterns best most packed game to date! Love the fact that there are 4 seperate ramp entrances! Well done to the team who worked on this. Absolutely brilliant! Can see this being a very sought after title. If youre after your very first pin than do not look past this. It has everything, and for others who are already pinball owners, add this to your collection. You will not regret it! The pro is great but after having played the LE you cant pass up on the moving interactive T-Rex. It will blow your mind.

The Walking Dead (Premium) Stern, 2014
One of the toughest games in my collection. Absolutely love it. A game that's bolted to the floor and never going anywhere.

Medieval Madness (Remake - Standard) Chicago Gaming Co., 2015
I held off for years in really getting into MM due to the theme.. Never been a big fan of anything Medieval.
HOWEVER after playing the remake for a substantial amount of time, I had to get one!
Its our most played game in the house.

Attack From Mars (Remake - LE) Chicago Gaming Co., 2017
I used to own an original and really liked the game but sold it due to a play field wear spot.. Yes I know how pedantic!
We're talking quite a few years ago.
Ive bought the AFMR LE and can honestly say its better than the original.
Due to the Topper - LED saucers and the huge Color DMD is just wow!
Also the fact that everything is brand new!

Big Bang Bar Capcom, 1996
I was holding this game for a few weeks for a friend and found it to be way over hyped. I particularly didn't like the (cheap) feel of the game. I think my expectations were really high due to its collectibility. If i was a millionaire I would probably get one for collectible purposes but def not a game I would want to own to play.

Wizard of Oz Jersey Jack, 2013
One of the most boring games I have ever played"
Aesthetically its brilliant. Amazing quality. Just the game itself is very boring.
Mini pf's seem a waste of time on this machine just like the mini pf on ACDC. Useless really.
The layout shots are somewhat lacking any real fun factor. Can hardly make out the connection between the ball and the mid right flipper. So hard to tell when its coming or not.
The theme is great. Just a pity they didn't make a great game out of it. Sometimes LESS IS MORE.

Star Trek (Premium) Stern, 2013
I think this is Sterns best to date since Tron LE. Aesthetically its just brilliant.
Amazing flow and so damn fast!
Initially I thought I would not like this game at all, but its got me back into pinball more than ever.
Great work Stern!

Spider-Man Stern, 2007
Ive never been a SM fan of the movies comics etc.. BUT this game is an instant classic! I can see this machine being highly sought after in years to come (sure it is already).
Great flow fun shots. Similar to AFM in some ways but better in my book.

The Simpsons Pinball Party Stern, 2003
One of my faves in my collection.
A tough game with sooo much to do!
Its a barrel of fun and can take a little while to "get into it".
Worth getting if you can!

Twilight Zone Bally, 1993
TZ is just an amazingly well designed game.
The sounds are magnificent and the playability is pure fun.
Some people don't like this title due to it not being a speed game as such or find it too deep.
I think it's in between a speed game and a start stop game.
Plus the toys are something that are just amazing. (esp when the machine is working well) :-)
