OK. I don't have it anymore, but while I did this game was a fun kick in the ass!

I have one.

Sweet looking game just got one myself, you beat me to starting a club, will have to post some pics up later, mine has been kicking my ass.

Awesome! Bout time this pin got a club. Been trying to find one of these for over a year now. I have a sick system 3 love that can only be satiated by adding more titles to the line up.
So far I have Stargate and Gladiators. Want to add a Barb Wire and Water World.

If anyone ever wants to sell one within driving distance of Washington state please let me know.

Barb Wire is my only Gottlieb and is next to my Sega Baywatch (Pamela Anderson pins need to stick together) with X-Files on the other side. None of them are good enough to make it into my game room, but they are still a lot of fun to play. I think Barb Wire being the last Gottlieb and made in relatively low numbers should make it collectible. I got mine in 1997 (when it was only a year old) and it is in perfect shape.

Well here's mine, just got it a month ago, pretty clean game, haven't found anything broken, i plan on tearing it down after I get finished with a current project and Polish/wax it up real nice and led the whole thing.

Very under-rated. I don't think BW gets any love because of the theme. The good thing is you can still pick one up for a reasonable price. I love mine, it has tons going on with the third flipper and great shots. The Big Fatso skill shot and hurry ups are awesome. The music also has a certain level of cheese factor that ties in well with the theme. Overall BW is one of the best bang for your buck pins.

I'm glad you still like it! Sometimes we miss that Big Fatso around here. Umm yeah chomp chomp.

Hello, also i own a Barb Wire since some months now. It is a real beauty, very clean and almost like new

Just bought one of these today. Are there any mods available? Mine is very clean, but no LEDs yet, suggestions? Thanks very much.

Nice welcome to the club. As for mods there is already a ton going on with the stock playfield and toys. I would just recommend LED's and some super bands or titan flipper rubbers.

Here's a question- how difficult is it to change the rubber on the buried pop bumper in the top right? I have held off because it looks like a real challenge. Mine has a cracked black rubber that looks as if it has been there since the game was assembled, but it still works so I've left it alone.

Thanks Pinmister, Just got my first pin a little over a week ago (Starship Troopers) and was immediately hooked. It's a very nice community of people as well.

Did you get that one off Craiglist in the area?

Anyone have a lead on one holler at me!

I got mine from Mirage Pinball & Arcade here in CO.

I have such a love/hate relationship with this game. It's also the reason I got into collecting pins.........have had the damn thing twice. Very unappreciated title if you ask me.

I was thinking the only thing I would like to Mod is the translight. If anyone has any ideas or would like to group together I know a couple people that can make them. I really like some of the newer Dark Horse sketches and they did a good job on the latest Barb Wire comic series. The image on the bottom would really pop with some orange and warm white LED's on the backglass.

I'm thinking of making a chicken-drumstick mod to put in big fatsos hand so when I shoot the skill shot it feels more realistic. Oooh yeaaa

Alternates are already available.

Nice custom rack on that bike

In before the lock, looking good even if the second one isn't Pam

Why does this game need to play the ball saved sound fx and flash it on the display for each multi ball drain? no other game does not.

What is wrong with what is on there? Better than either of those, they are just awful. I know some people say it isn't suitable for a 'family' environment and I don't get it. There is a little cleavage and a leg, so? Those two alternates definitely wouldn't work for a 'family' setting either.

Those are no-bueno, I do not want to make it any worse than it already is.

I would like to see hand drawn art and more of a pin up style if anyone can find some good material, there is not much out there.

The one I have is a bit of a beater but I'm enjoying it so far.

I have a couple questions to ask, is the auto-launch supposed to shoot the ball all the way around back up the ramp and to the left flipper? Mine doesn't and just ends up in the rt hole- kick out which just seems wrong. Also wondering where the lower rt kick out sends the ball mine typically hits the tip of the left flipper or sometimes right down the drain.

Anybody want to sell theirs pm me

Anyone I played and mine kicks ball out the right hole, doesn't make it up around the ramp. My left upper kickout hole would send the ball right down the drain no matter what I did, I removed the diverted and slotted the holes so I could turn it to shoot out at the left flipper, works great now. My lower right kickout hole shoots out at my left flipper.

Ok thanks sounds like the auto launch is working as it should, I just need to mess with the kick out and get that more consistent.

I have gotten in the habit of trying to beat the auto launch and pull the plunger to send the ball all the way around for a more controllable shot off the left flipper-works great in single ball play but is tough during multi ball.

What was your high score?

I might have beat your second high score but not the 1st. I haven't got near that in a while.

Best gottlieb ever

I'm in... Just picked up a nice one. Fun, but set way too easy right now. Gonna have to make some adjustments!

...and BTW, who makes a decent LED kit for Ms. Pamela?

Your better off experimenting with different leds till you get what you like, i have some blue where the standup targets are too me it loojs pretty cool, havent had mych apart yet but ive seen one with blue under the ramps that looked realy cool also.

BIG FATSO says back to work on our pins

Ohhh yeaa!
