I was wondering your thoughts on blackwater 100. Is it a game worth getting for right price? do the sounds get annoying. I would like a review on it since it seems fun with 5 flippers

Definitely worth getting and one of the coolest looking machines with the way you look down on a racetrack-like playfield. Tough to keep more than one ball in play for very long.
The music is so-so but adjust the volume down and provide alternative music if it bothers you.
It has a few tough shots and is anything but stop and go.
Unfortunately the molded plastics are brittle now and that may make some machines not playable.
Good luck.
Ever since I saw this machine on the "life after death" dvd series, I've been wanting one bad. Makes me think of a dirt bike version of whitewater.
Really crazy cool game, because the playfield is set so deep and the sides have decals on you feel more immersed in it, the music is a bit repetitive though, here's mine in action

The one in your neck of the woods is not worth the asking 1,000 I went and looked at that machine last December
I really wanted to like it because the layout is so cool to me. However, the sounds and the music did nothing for me the 10 or so times I've played it. I might still get one someday, but I'm pretty sure it won't stick around long.
music doesn't seem terrible, and I dig the sound effects.
Matt_addams: you've got a bally vector too, nice! that was in the movie "little monsters", about 6:38 into this video:

Very cool playfield, with the molded motocross track look, and the flipper on the apron is different and cool as well.
The only thing odd about the game is that they tried to replicate a motocross start by starting with multiball right out of the gate. It's initially kind of cool and suits the motocross them well, but I miss the traditional build up to multiball. If my other pins just started off in multiball instead of me having to progress towards it, I think it would be a bummer. This is something I'm not sure I like about the machine, but it's still pretty cool. I just wish they'd have worked the multiball into something other than the start.
