Quoted from pipes:

Sorry but this is not even a debate as far as I'm concerned. There is a clear winner here. If your pick is not Thunderbirds it's only because you haven't had the misfortune of playing it. I've played a lot of terrible games but nothing even comes close to this atrocity. The only thing worse than playing one is owning one. I hated having it in my house and I was worried I would never be rid of it. Every time I passed by it, I felt as though those creepy puppets on the translite were staring at me and mocking me. It was extremely disturbing. I actually felt sorry for the guy that bought it from me, which is kind of crazy considering the game was in mint condition and I took a $3K CAD hit on the price. Sure enough it was for sale again 3 days later. There's only so much punishment a person can endure. I imagine it's like being waterboarded except even less fun. I suggest everyone in this thread that has mentioned another game to please go play this abomination once in your life. You will have a new appreciation for all of the other games listed here. My apologies to all the owners of this game for what you just read but whether you choose to admit it or not, you know none of it is an exaggeration. My sympathies.

Good to read an honest review of this machine on pinside that doesn't smack of a distributor trying to peddle inventory or an Aussie forum shill outright bullshitting an international audience.

Quoted from pipes:

It seems not many of you have played Thunderbirds.

Keep in mind gameplay itself became a secondary objective when the Aussie preorders foundered back in 2015.

The main goal on pinside from that point onwards from the Homepin loyalists down here was to shill TBAG so much that Northern Hemisphere pinball distributors would be convinced into placing orders so that Homepin could become solvent to actually get the initial down under preorder machines built from 3 years overdue.

For perspective there were 17 preorders for TBAG in Australia. The other 99% of pinball collectors down here knew from the beginning what a shit show it would inevitably become and kept our wallets closed.
