Fast and challenging! There are a couple good strategies for earning points, ripping the spinner being one. The spinner counter is an awesome feature, can't believe we didn't see this on more machines. For such a rare game I didn't expect it to be such a great player but it keeps you coming back.

This is a really great, brutal, challenging game with one of the best spinner + spinner sounds in pinball. Super fast, frantic, lots of short ball times. But if you can get 1 good ball per game, drops those targets, and rip that spinner, it is rewarding as hell. Wish Stern made more of these, but happy I have one on location a few miles from home.

A super rare and fun classic Stern. Faster even than Quicksilver.

A relatively rare game from Stern v.1

The Pros:
One of the fastest single level PF games I have ever experienced. The drop target placement means that you will be clipping targets as you run the ball through the lanes. A well placed shot will sweep all 3 targets down at once. The spinner shot is way sweet!

The Cons:
I have only played one copy and have to say that the jury is still out with this table. I just don't "get it" yet. Could really use another spinner on the left lane.

The Takeaway:
Find one if you can and play it. Your mileage may vary. I believe there is solid gameplay in this design, I just have yet to really find it.

Update:
Finally found a sweet copy and this game is FAST! The orbit guides are designed to drop down the targets on the side one at a time, however a slight adjustment to aim and... it is pretty sweet! Getting the dangerous center drops to boost your bonus to 7x takes precise aim at the EDGES of the drop targets. Shots up the center, go down the center. You have been warned. Lighting the spinner and ripping it up for big points is incredibly satisfying. Find one if you can, there aren't many of them out there.

This is a tough pin to play; It is so incredibly fast. Low final scores are normal and you will earn every point. I like fast pinball and Dragonfist does not disappoint me.

This is not a game I would want to feed quarters into at an arcade because it would clean my pockets out. But in my home setting, with free play, it is fun to try and beat this pin. Playing Dragonfist has helped me improve my flipper skills which has helped me get better at playing my other pins.

Dragonfist is the definition of brutal fury.

Incredibly fast, it forces split second decisions that often lead to mistake shots. And if you miss a shot, Dragonfist will punish you.

When you make orbit shots that sweep all three drops in one fluid motion, you feel amazing. When 5 seconds later Dragonfist whips the ball impossibly fast through the inlane and into the outhole, you remember that it is brutal.

It is my absolute favorite game in my collection.
