Another game I really wanted to enjoy. Not fun at all, major disappointment. Carrot flippers are fun, as is artwork. Gameplay is horrible.

The one reason this game is good is the theme. I love the Looney Tunes characters and have for a long time, but this machine didn't do them justice. I think it would've been better done as a DMD game during the mid 90's upswing of pinball. Stupid 50m shot ruining all other scoring in the game (remind you of BOP?)...

Bugs Bunny's Birthday Ball is another table where Python reduced the game to 1 shot.

The Pros:
It's a Lonney Tunes pinball table! All your favorite wacky characters are there and are having a great time at Bug's B'day party.

The Cons:
The game is not nearly entertaining as Friz Freelings most mundane efforts on the screen. The whole left side of the table is a wasteland. Lots of interesting ideas that were partially executed and buried by an abyssmal rulesheet. I can't remember any other pinball game with so much white on the PF and the cab, it does not do the art package well. Considering the vintage of this game, I am amazed and appalled that Bally/Williams let this out the door.

The Takeaway:
Blow out candles... 50 million. What else is there to do? Go find another game...? yeah. Use this one for parts.

In 40 yrs of playing pinball, I've never left a machine with a feeling of complete disgust. I even like some games other pinheads despise. That is, until I played this abomination last month. No flow, no appeal, few decent shots, just gimmicks. And, to top it off, why bother--at the end of the game, your score may no longer be your score. And I'm a huge Looney Tunes fan--so much could have been done with this game. What a waste.

Awful, just awful! A board donor for parting out to repair more deserving machines.

Great licence, great artwork especially the backglass, cool sounds and speech. Backward mini playfield again is a cool feature, plenty of playfield gimmicks and shots. BUT THERE IS NO FLOW, nothing seems to mesh together, the gameplay sux. What no multiball?

My brother played this one so I might have a different opinion than him.
