Clyde, NC
All very satisfying shots. Perfect layout. Best jjp since dialed in imo. Can’t see anyone hating on this game except for possibly not a fan of the theme. The topper is next level. Play it and see where all the hype is coming from

Rick and Morty (Blood Sucker Edition) Spooky Pinball, 2020
I just can’t get into this game sos so at best. I get bored with a ball left and let it drain. Sorry bur we all know this top 100 means nothing anyway. Since we all have different preferences

James Bond 007 (Premium) Stern, 2022
I know I will get bashed for this but I played pro and premium and both games got bored keeping first ball going for over 20 minutes before draining on purpose. I am average at best. I like games that kick my but and make me fight to advance. This did not happen

The Shadow Bally, 1994
I have owned this for almost a month. This game to me has the greatest ramps ever put in pinball. Also the greatest ball lock. Theme is so subjective. I liked the movie and am ok with the back glass.the orbits and inner loop are as smooth as you could hope to find in a pin. Upper playfield is so unique as I have never seen anything like it since. Rules are simple enough to pick up and not tire of, especially when most have short time limits. I want to mod the hell out of this game because I don,t see this game going anywhere.

Guns N' Roses (LE) Jersey Jack, 2020
Here we go. Traded my brother walking dead plus 4 k for this one. At first I agree too many multi balls but then I started to understand. They are essential to your game Good luck making the shots you need with that many balls going. But the balls are so easy to lose thanks to the brutality of the outlanes I am a way bigger maiden fan and that one couldn’t leave quick enough because the songs just ran over and over especially trooper the game almost made me hate my favorite band. Finally a music game done right. I hope one day jjp does ozzy he needs to be done right too. In the end home environment only to understand how deep and rewarding this monster really is.

Avengers: Infinity Quest (Premium) Stern, 2020
I have owned and played this for about 2 months now. This is a game that must be owned to fully appreciate. The layout is a breath of fresh air. Nothing like it. My only gripes with the game are the straight down the middle when you don’t use the third flipper and if the pop bumpers hit it soft in to a certain lane the ball falls directly down the left out lane. Maybe an adjustment could fix this. Other then that I love this game it feels and plays like the adventure it was meant to be. Highly recommended Update. Game got old very fast. Maybe I just couldn’t buy in to the rule set. But it became a game I dreaded to play

Jurassic Park (Limited Edition) Stern, 2019
got about 40 or so games on this so far . great layout with well varied shots. a lot going on still don't know always what to do. I think more time with it will bring it all together for me. ball times sometimes feel little long. best skill shots I ever seen. code will keep growing to make this an all time great. art on table could be better. callouts need an overhaul. all in all great

Houdini American Pinball, 2017
my brother bought this game, it kicked our butts. but when you are in the zone, it plays like no other. if you aren't willing to work at getting better. this probably is not for you. i can see this being a dissapointment on location. this is a collectors game for sure. i can't see it getting boring , too unique. i love it,

Dialed In Jersey Jack, 2017
for me its layout. so much to do, great phone integration. amazing light show. never leaving my collection. favorite rip on the game, guy is not cool. define cool. looks like average joe, i can relate. i guess if you didn't get out of prison or hold a gun instead of a phone your deemed not cool

The Walking Dead (Pro) Stern, 2014
i have this next to my metallica pro, startrek pro and ghost busters pro. not the best looking by far but WD is what i gravitate to the most. i know nothing about this theme but the rule set is so damm addictive. drop shots are so important and placed perfectly. i love the ramps and zombie head in house. the other easy zombie is too big, wish they lost him for two tight lanes. regardles, i love this pain in the butt game that keeps me coming back time and time again.

Star Trek (Pro) Stern, 2013
i have owned this for about a year now. i feel its time to fairly judge. i love the layout. not beautiful back glass or play field but it still seems to work well in my opinion. i love the shots, best shot for me is the warp. my brother has spiderman ve we both prefer spiderman theme. but both agree warp shot is best from either. rules could be better like metallica or walking dead [i own them also] but still it is a great game. people complain that the shots are always the same, which to a degree is true, but how many have gotten through all 18 modes. i haven't broken 7!!! a great game worth playing. i recommend it.

Ghostbusters (Pro) Stern, 2016
i am new to this website with this being my first post, i own metallica pro, star trek pro, walking dead pro and most recently, ghost busters pro. i love all my games but i feel ghost busters needs the most in updates. aside from that, i get to many cheap drains and my ball tends to go in the air too much. makes me feel like the machine will get messed up too quickly, the drop shots seem to need to be back handed to get them down. however, i feel there is amazing potential for this game. it is very challenging and well worth playing . better to own than pay a buck a play as that play probably won't last long.
