One of the most fun pins out there. Just pure fun, easy to understand rules and great callouts. Do think it can get slightly staler then the other 90s williams fan layouts but always just really enjoyable.

Addicted to this one, CGC did a very good job. Cant wait for Lyman code expansion! Shots are great, ramps very smooth, just a pure fun pin. Gives you that pinball magic, and wow those pop up drop targets are just used so perfectly. Lock is lit and SO AM I!!

Atmosphere is incredible. A bit of a clunker, but it feels like its supposed to be! Some of the shots are a bit odd and PBs flippers could use some work. I've had my share of bugs already but I still just keep coming back and back. Animations, Modes, Art just incredible.

After owning this game, I can say the game is solid. But, as other reviewers have pointed out I don't get the same 'pinball magic feeling' I get from other titles. I think overall its a good pin, but top 5 greatest of all time? I don't think so. At first I preferred JP over Godzilla for Elwin. But over time, I think Godzilla is just a more fun. JP is a bit wood choppy, and I've really grown to dislike the newton ball jeep in the middle of the playfield. Some might like, its just not for me.

Pros:
Theme is A1
Dino mech is awesome!
Flow is crazy sometimes
Super fast pin and when you are on your game you feel it
Raptor Pin is a must imo
I don't mind the animations like others complain about
Shots Shots Shots
Pop bumpers are crisp and satisfying
Backglass art is great

Cons:
Choppy wood
Lacks the pinball magic
Multiball is just ok
Newton ball jeep gets old
Dino mech can get overused
Playfield art is ok, not great not bad

Pure rampy fun. The insanity falls shot is the best ramp in pinball, not even a question. I love the artwork throughout playfield, cabinet, and backbox. I think CGC should remake this. Only problem is the ramps crack easily the mountains crack. But its truly a world under glass.

I love AFM, sometimes I love it more than MM. Idk, just that saucer as the bash toy, its so satifying. Its just a fun game nothing else to say really. Its not one of those games were you go up and are blown away by anything but everytime you get on it you're having a blast and cant get enough. Just a great family pin, funny too. I think this one is good if you have a few other complex layouts in your collection and you need a break from them, just go over to AFM and have a great time no matter what.

One of the best toys if not the best. Bashing a castle in pinball is just so satisfying, this one is all time for a reason. Artwork awesome too, love the layout. A pin that you'll never wanna leave!

Its Tron. It literally the most perfect Arcade game and showpiece. Current prices is WAY TOO HIGH. You need the premium. That Tron arcade mod is essential too. Daft Punk music absolutely makes it. Its just plain fun, in my opinion this is the perfect pinball machine.

Elvira, perfection. Dennis Nordman, I am obsessed with the open playfield concept. Toys without a doubt top 5 toy of all time in pinball, and that's a big deal. Prices way too high but it makes sense, this will be one that stays in peoples collection for a awhile/forever. This is one of those newer pins that the inflated prices for me, it justifiable (dare i say it). Love it, call outs, shots, it just feels right.

I love the black knight theme, always a Ritchie fan but this...Stern really missed and honestly its kinda concerning that the premium has the upper playfield and you have to pay thousands more for that. Honestly unacceptablebut let me get to it. So the upper playfield...it is really really bad, that clear plastic they used for it too... it just looks terrible, the plastic gets fuzzy after use too and it gets harder and harder to see the back of the playfield. The shot is just really unsatisfying and not really skill based? It just feels totally random. Need more of that Black Knight 2k music too, should've been more prominent. Stern cmon man, its black knight...it could've been a home run, but I feel like it got to second base and then struck out trying to steal third.

Call outs, theme, art, toys, amazing, hard and fast. But its gonna be a no for me. Big point reduction with that upper playfield feel and whole premium aspect to pay for it. Some cool modes associated with the upper playfield though.

I really like this game, the theme is A1. A simple but challenging game, and if you like ramps boy oh boy its the king of ramps. The drive in popcorn style theme is just perfect for pinball. Unfortunately most games out there have the hologram faded/nonexistent, and it really takes you away. The mike mod is essential but someone needs to reproduce more creature hologram mods that work. Simple but challenging theme, not as easy as it sounds! Just like a drive in movie theatre...it just has that charm ya know?

So this game is a love hate for me, love Rudy, toys and artwork its just top notch. The whole aesthetic is just awesome, creepy dummy/chucky feel it really really works in pinball and it hits. However it didn't stand the test of time in my small collection, now I would def recommend to own a Funhouse but in my opinion the layout is extremely clunky and the flow is just really subpar. Music gets old fast too for me. And for that reason I rated it a bit lower, just because it doesn't keep ,me coming back and back. Good game, the best toy in pinball without a doubt no debate. A Classic.

This as my first pinball is amazing. This game can be very challenging especially in multi ball to lock the three balls but extremely fun and rewarding! The canon is a great addition to this game, along with the great big terminator head! Also with Arnold Schwarzenegger voicing its a great theme if you like terminator movies. Hasta la Vista babbyyy is just prime when said on this machine. Artwork on the cabinet could be better but still very nice. Lighting is ok, and playfield is incredible!
