I'm a big fan of this game! Every time I see it somewhere I have to play it. It's never boring and the different modes and shots are really fun! I really like the ghost theme and it's refreshingly comical during play.

I have over a hundred and fifty plays so far. This game is brutally fun, Very hard and challenging. You can't just master it in a handful of games.

This is a very challenging, very fast and very fun pin! It has that 'one more game' appeal and there are quite a few different strategies to pursue. There's some good flow and the toys are pretty unique. The audio is outstanding! A fantastic first effort from Ben Heck and Spooky Pinball.

Ratings based on playing at MGC and Expo. Will update once I receive my machine. So much fun.... Yeah, I feel the artwork could have had a revision or two... Yeah, I don't know that the in game lighting is bright enough, but whatever... this game is so much fun, and does a great job in creating a neat vibe that is a nice mix of spooky and campy. Great first pin from Spooky Pinball.

I've played very early versions of this at pinball shows (intial showing had nearly no code, as chuck said it had no code 48 hours before it's showing), and over a year you could see how the modes and scoring progressed, as well as the speeches and animation. Ben really created a simple yet rewarding pinball, taking features like the 3-bank drop down standup targets from attack from mars. The hellevator is like a slow version of a VUK, but perhaps this will last longer than a coil since it's an efficient motor. The action is fast and has great flow. Yet another great title that is out of my price range, and with low production numbers it's sad that you'll only get to play it at shows.

Great game, gave it two spins at Kickback in Pittsburgh. Just went on location today. Plays very well. The kickout hole on the right is brutal! You gotta get ready for it, very fast . Once you get used to it it's not bad. The ramps are smooth, as well as the jump.

Pops are strong, hell, everything is strong on this! No weak coils on this one. Multiball was nice. Good flow. Code appears to be pretty deep. Didn't learn too much from only two plays but think there is a lot of potential with this one. Doesn't feel like a "lesser" quality pin by any means. Plays just as good (if not better) than most new pins.

A few minor glitches in ball search code may have you removing the glass alot during this one. (We did no less than a dozen times during an hour and a half of play). This however would seem to be an easy fix. Overall, great game that is themed very well.
Seek out and play!

Edit: played it more. Like it more. People need to drop quarters in this one or collectors will be stuck with one or two pinball manufacturers and no variety.

Got to play this at the Minnesota State Fair's Pinball-On-A-Stick. I was excited to get a chance to play, but there are a few things that the machine just misses on. For one, the scoring is very much all-or-nothing. As an example, my wife had a ball that went into the scoop for 10 million points, and the other 30 seconds that the ball was alive, she scored 10,000. Which is another thing, is that the ball drains very easily, especially out of the Bar/Fort area. I'm pretty sure that all of the drains I had came from the ball getting spit out there and going right down the middle.

UPDATE: I got to play this again, this time at ReplayFX. While I feel like the scoring is a little more evened out, the center drain is still an issue (and even the folks I was playing with brought it up). I think adding a half gate similar to how TBOP did coming out of the pop bumpers, would've really helped in this area. Overall I've upped some of my scores.

That being said, I think the theme is great, the art fits the theme and the animations on the green DMD are pretty spectacular for a home-brewed machine. I think the scoring issues can be ironed out with updated software, but I'd really like to see a little more attention paid to the easy drains.
