I really love the art work on the playfield and the backglass. Has that nice "space race" feel that was predates the moon landing. Interesting choice not to have Pluto on as a planet for the backglass considering it would be decades before it was not considered a planet anymore. Gameplay wise, this is relatively fun but I wish the award feature would allow you to earn more than just off the ninth planet. I can't understand why you'd want to let the planet feature carry over game to game as I think it takes some of the fair competition out of the gameplay. None the less, scoring and the goal to spell planet are one and the same since you can only make big points out of the "upper playing field". Not a bad player, fun to vary a collection that did not previously have zipper flippers in it.

Big fan of this game. Set it up so the playfield has a nice slope to it and it plays great. Focus on the runs scoring and competing against another player makes it even better. (Even though its not a 2 player but its easy to remember runs scored. I love the backglass lighting up to show runners on base and the plunger shots are very satisfying. Truly an underrated game from Gottlieb's glory years. Great sound as well for this period of EM as you have 3 distinct chimes, a bell for runs scored, and a great knocker for extra balls/replay(Depending on which version). My only complaint is a rather bland cabinet art choice. Christmas colors and arrows? Meh. The playability of this machine as well as the neat backglass animation more than makes up for it though!

One of the first SS games ever made, and a lot of fun once you understand the basic rules. Definitely switch over to add a ball for home use. Skill shot on the last ball gives another fun element to the game and the special + bonus goals are great as well. The backglass has flashers behind the thunderbolt giving the art a little more character than it would have without it.

I love the show, so I may be biased, but I really enjoy this machine. Lots of fun modes to play, and its a great player really. Good use of characters and artwork to really take advantage of the licensing.

Wow, what a fast game! Lots of fun from this one, as theres plenty of challenging shots and gimmicks to keep your interest and make you wanting more. I love the ball lock as it reminds me of an engine running, and the little toy car that spins is also great. I can't say I'm very good at this machine yet but it is a rewarding experience even for someone thats still learning. A great output from Bally/Williams.

This is a relatively easier game to earn replays on, at least the one near where I live. I have to say I probably like it more than I should just because its a great value when you can get 2 replays for every 50 cents I put into it. That being said, to really go for a high score, it does become a little bit more difficult. The ball lock is a surprisingly hard shot to make. But besides that most of the shots are pretty easy. I love all the toys on the field and the theme is decent. Not the best, but a solid player from Stern

One of the best games I've ever played. A great theme for fans of horror or cheesy movies. Really just another example of how great Bally/Williams was in the 90's. The spider spinning backglass is simple but a very effective way to add one more level of playing to the game. Multiball is also a lot of fun. Would love to own one if I ever had the capital for it!
