Who doesn't like Dirty Harry? Sounds are strong. Not an easy pin to slay. Great theme. Has some growing to go as far as being collectable IMO.

Had the chance to play it often at a friends collection. Its just as cool as Harry. The playfield may be a bit ugly, but the gun is great and the different modes challenging. great pin!

While the gameplay itself isn't that bad, I find Dirty Harry to be the ugliest of all of the art packages from its era. The colors, the playfield art, just yuck! =) However, the pin offers a pretty balanced ruleset featuring some fun modes to shoot as well as callouts from The Man himself. The gun is a little awkward to shoot, and many times a dead-on shot will be rejected instead of making the ramp. It's a good play every once in a while but not one I'd want to own.

Ive owned this mach. for a week and the more i play it the better it gets , you need to spend some time on this before it starts to grow on you kinda easy to get to the crime wave hope theres more to it , but i think this is under rated for sure , lota cool facter here i love the looks of this one and the gun fire sounds great ,cool light show, and the gun does go with the theme perfect best canon in pinball.

I find this game to be way uderated. I have one that I had the intentions of flipping until I got it back from restoration. I have gotten in to this game now. The cannon rock in the wizard mode firing 4 balls in a multi shot fashion, also great use of the cannon for shots up the ramps. Can layer modes. One of the few games with "Midnight Ramapage" very cool. Mine has found a home in my small collection.

Really enjoyable, challenging game. The theme is superb and the use of the gun throughout the game is very well thought out. I like this game a lot, but you really need to know the rules before playing. It is a hard game to walk up to and hope to get to grips with.

So many great skill shots that incorporate the toy gun, as well as the upper right flipper. Not an overly difficult game, but challenging none the less. The playfield artwork could have been better, but it kind of adds to the retro feel of the era when the movie was released.

Playfield has lots of shots and the gun is a great toy. The backglass art is an acquired taste as well as the cabinet art. Overall a good pinball let down by the backglass and playfield art. Of course I'm a big fan of Dirty Harry.

Not my favorite game in our modest collection, but a good game none the less. Gameplay a little clunky. The Clint quotes are excellent, lots of fun to listen to. A pretty tough game too.

Good machine, don't feel that it's underrated more that it is just "underknown". Gun is cool, voice and sounds are great, artwork especially on the cabinent is rad, and well-paced gameplay. However the shots aren't really fine tuned, and it feels like balls just brick around rubbers and bumpers for alot of the gameplay. Challenging enough, but doesn't have infinite replay value (overall design lacking), but good fun though. My first Grand Champ score was on one of these and still stands at a very popular bar, so it holds a little special place in my heart.

Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry, love the sounds and the cool sayings! Not as challenging as some other pins, but still would love to own one.

Nice variation of the classic 'macho'-pin.

Has the same gun as "Indy" and the launcher is similiar to the 'T2'. So if you can't afford a Indiana Jones or are bored by the 'T2', this is the next best thing.

I really like this game. I liked it so much i went and bought one. I'm a fan of Dirty Harry and this game is full of all his famous quotes. Also in the game there's a gun you get to utilize to shoot skill shoot on the playfield (along with the ball launcher being Harry's 44 Magnum). I like the cabinet art which is bright and colorful. It shows a city backline with Harry wielding his smoking gun. The playfield is fun. There are some good ramp shoots and the playfield toys are pretty cool.
