Really wanted to like this machine because it’sa complete STUNNER. Amazing art package to just look at. Can’t say I’ma huge fan of the Playfield but great job at incorporating multiple upper playfields. The center ramp rejection drives me insane

Dream theme but not a dream game. It's way better than average but I was expecting a lot more. HATE the Buzz outhole around the pops....it's just look going in there and then it happens (over and over). Price tag is horrible on this machine. It's going to be the reason that production will be nowhere near GNR.

I played it on location when the machine came out 3 games and I literally was feeling of walking away each game, or hoping my ball would drain because I hated the machine. I took one in on a trade to give it another try, even though the theme does nothing for me.

Low and behold…. WHAT AN AMAZING GAME! Great flow and amazing code. The music will grow on you, sorta how Iron Maiden has grown on me. I don’t feel I’m missing much with a pro. The dead end shot feels way more satisfying than I ever thought it would. I just miss the ramp being up in the person because it makes the inner orbit/spinner shot a little more easier to hit on the premium. Other than that, totally underrated machine

Prefer X-men over Rush since they’re almost identical layouts and X-men is quite a bit less. Good-solid machine for Rush fans but nothing earth shattering

Amazing artwork…probably some of the best in pinball. Animations are done of the worst though for a modern game. The main issue I have with the game is the ramps up the middle are huge and easy to hit but sometimes you’ll get rejections 30% of the time, even when hit perfect

I love the game and the theme but the Cleland sound mod is a MUST. It takes a very good game and moves it over the top. I traded a Metallica for GOTG and I couldn't be happier. The code needs a few very small changes but nothing that couldn't be overlooked, especially with the Cleland sound mod.

Best sounds/soundtrack in all of pinball. This game has grown on me. I wasn't sold at first but after about 20 games I fell in love.

I just picked it up in a trade for my Wonka and I couldn't be any happier. Games don't get anymore gorgeous than this one and a FUN fan layout! The code is very deep and it's what makes the game.

Another Elwin masterpiece. The code is early on this game but already it's one amazing game. I just wish they'd have been able to add more of a musical score. A perfect game that’s only going to get better!

Incredible game and one of the best, especially with Tim's audio/video package (top notch). If feels like an epic journey when playing.

The easiest way to explain this game is a Bally/Williams ruleset on steroids and multiply that by three. This game has an amazing ruleset and light show. I don’t mind the theme but if a better theme this game would easily be in the top 10. What’s not to like with a game that has 5 magnets under the playfield!

If you’re a fan of fan layouts with improved code this gam will only get better. The problem is the code now so eventually I’ll edit my rating. I hated this game when it first came out with the original code but not it’s a keeper. You really need to dial this game in for true enjoyment

This game would have scored an 11 if it weren’t for the music. Great artwork and amazing flow

Great code but I wish there could be a little adjustment that I noted over to Jersey Jack. The new updated codes with all the modes is amazing. The only downside of this machine is very long games.

I can't imagine a game getting any better than this machine. I was not in the market for a POTC until I played it tonight and now I'm considering selling a few machines to pony up for one. Even my wife, who's not into pinball was blown away!

Great video modes but wish the scoring was more balanced. It holds the game back a bit

Middle of the road System 11 game. I wish it had a tad more flow but a packed playfield with a lot to shoot at.

The best System 80 game and I put this as my favourite game of the early 80's. My favourite lower playfield out of any machine. I just wish someone could update the code on this way before the time to make it more current.

Worst game I've ever owned. I'm just glad I was able to sell it

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a fairly boring game with a killer backglass and great playfield art. It could have been much better

One of the best looking machines of all time. I've owned this a ton of time, not because of gameplay but just the overall look of the machine.

Who could go wrong with a volcano!!! Actually the game is very underrated, even though it's in the top 40. If it had a better them and the game code was just changed very minor, it could be a top 20 game. The game has amazing flow and there's a few different directions on how to play for scoring. The only sound that gets repetitive is Amy talking.

Very right flipper dependent but who could go wrong with the soundtrack. The game is super fast on the lower playfield, I just wish there was more incorporated into the game to use the left flipper. Very nice flow is what makes this game one of the better System 11 games.

The mouse traps are an incredible idea for a ball lock. The music sounds like the Beach Boys put it together and what a great Jackpot that's one of the tougher System 11's to accomplish.

Amazing sounds and as FUN as it gets in pinball. I love System 11's and this is one of the best! Soundtrack almost sounds like it's from a John Carpenter movie. The only thing that would have made the game a little better is if there'd been more going on with the 2X and 3X.

I consider this one of the best System 11 games, along with Taxi and Whirlwind. It's got great flow and the cash register shot just feels so good. It's nice that you can build up your jackpot and decide when to take it. ORDER UP!!

I realize this is a One Shot Pony but the artwork of the overall machine is AMAZING. Just like Pinbot I wish they could have incorporated more of the playfield with a little more shots. The game has great flow but lacks on the code. 2.0 definitely helps with this and forces you to use more of the shots but again, the shots are limited because the head and pops take up so much room. I've owned this a few times and when I get rid of it, I always miss it. I just love hitting that left ramp :)

Way ahead of it's time but great game. One of the best early solid state games along with Space Shuttle and Black Hole. Great flow! It'd been nice to incorporate a jackpot into the game.

You can never go wrong with an out of this world space themed game that incorporates the playfield with the overall gameplay. Outside of Swords of Fury, this is the 2nd best System 11 soundtrack that fits the theme. I wish they'd could have done a little more on the right side of the playfield because it's just pops and the upperplayfield. I feel if they could have done something here, this would have been AMAZING. Don't get me wrong, this is still on iconic game.

Keeps the family coming back! It'd been nice if they could have incorporated multiball into this game but I consider this the best single ball game of it's time. I love the progressive jackpot!
