I've played BBB quite a bit over the years since I'm fortunate enough to have two friends owning one. One I would add to my collection if not for the cost and rarity, even after the re-run. I just couldn't pull the trigger when IPB reran them and I kick myself frequently over it :)

The look is outstanding. The shots aren't all the well done, almost uninspired but certainly functional. More effort was put into the gadgets and ramp sots and locks and that's ok because they work well. It's a very challenging game but not frustratingly difficult. Not a desert island pin but still great in a collection... if you can find and afford it :)

Finally managed to pick up a HUO BIG BANG BAR #84! As anyone will tell you they are rarer the rocking horse poop! Especially over here in the UK.

First impressions of the game I LIKE THAT! the UV reflective cabinet art and playfield ramps are eye-catching and those blue arrows on the ramp WOW, very funky, I would have liked to have seen that sort of innovation on other 1990's pins. The overall look of the pin is well...not from this planet! It really does pull you to the game.
The DMD animations and quotes from the moment you press the start button are very funny and fit in well with the game, the waitress quotes don't really bother me. The game toys are great, the dancer, two ball eating aliens and the captive balls are not the most impressive on a pin but go very well with the game. The modes are all quite simple, but it's the DMD animations that make them fun and you want to complete them to see all the different dots.
Not had it long but I will never sell it, not because it's too damn rare but because it's got humour that I love. It cost me a fortune but as Ray says IF YOUR WILLING TO PAY, IM WILLING TO POUR!

Update:the more I play this game the more I love it! The humor keeps comming. I have changed its lastability because its one that will stay in my collection.

This is such a fun pinball to play! The lighting is amazing and the goals are challenging. Would have to save serious coin to buy one, (or even find one), but to those who have, you are very fortunate!

It's too bad they didn't make more of these machines. It get's way over rated just because it is rare. It's not a terrible game to play but not really top 50 material

Sounds and the tube dancer soon become an irritation. The graphics and comments are great.

Quite simply, the best looking machine ever made. Excellent art (cab and playfield), and an excellent DMD show. Sounds are incredible, with a staggering amount of quotes (just go through the sound-test). Not the deepest rule-set in the world, but it is a very fun game overall...

No pinside.com staff has played it? let me know if you're ever in the neighborhood and want to try it. It's really fantastic. There's a very good reason that out of all the possible prototypes that someone (in this case Gene Cunningham) could have tried to put into production, he chose this one. And people who have played it know why it's worth $12,000 these days.

I can say a lot about the game play and sounds, but the icing on the cake is the bass thumping sound system.

Very rare machine. I have only had the chance to play it for about an hour total. Overall, the game is fun and flows well. The theme and play is adult oriented and there is a fair share of humor which I appreciate. If you have never played it before and you get the chance I highly suggest you give it a shot. It is a pretty interesting pinball rarity.

I play this machine a lot untill someone paid more than I want to spend on a pinball. I love everything about it. Great fun and makes me Lol. I want one if they would come down in price.

Very cool theme and artwork is uv reactive. Excellent lighting and mechanical toys. It's tough to bust Ray's balls.
