Classic game.
Remake doesn't play as nice as the original though. Flipper lag and doesn't feel as solid.

This is the game that got me in to pinball. I played it for hours throughout college and bought the remake when I had enough scratch. It's always fun, there's a simple to understand ruleset, it can be enjoyed by experts and novices, it's just a great game.

Honestly, this game was good in its day, but now it is like saying buying an old 20 or 30 year old car, drives better than a 2018 model! Can't understand why these old tables get rated so high, when modern tables are so much better!!

A classic game that’s not to deep. It’s a game that seems approachable by anyone of any skill level. Cheesy humor and call outs , good simple score, Pin Stadiums a must in my book. I like having a classic with today’s technology, I will consider all of the Remakes after a great experience with this game.

I like the theme, artwork, lighting, and bash targets.
The trolls are great and the castle is really satisfying to hit.
Awesome game.
Will stay in my collection for sure !

It's a fun game that I get tired of after only a few plays. I understand it is the all time number 1 on this site but I just can't get into it. I really wish the music was better. The falling down castle has got to be the greatest toy of all time, but I really want something better than the default merlin on the machine. Additionally, I have yet to see a medieval madness in the wild where the castle fully works. The trolls are cool. All in all a cool machine but not my all time number 1.

This rated as the top machine of all time for a reason. I didn’t play this growing up so there is no nostalgia factor in my rating. This is just a great designed, classic game with great toys (castle, trolls, etc) and theme.
A color DMD on the remake is a must. It just adds a ton to the game. The call outs and humor in the game are great as well. Some of the valley girl damsel stuff is very 90’s and dated but still fun nonetheless.
I have heard some say the remake doesn’t play as well as the original but I’ve played the original a few different places and there isn’t much difference. The remake has newer parts and is probably more reliable, though. Where I think Chicago Gaming could have (and should have) done a better job is on the speakers. The voices at times are a bit muffled and higher quality speakers would have been nice, particularly at this price point.

Love the variability of this game. It only took a couple of plays to understand some of the main goals -- hit/destroy the castle being the most fun (for me). Trolls popping out of the playfield, Merlin's kickout hole, I think I even shot a cow out of the catapult at one point -- love it. Didn't think twice about 50 cents a play -- kept putting my quarters in.

This game is so much fun. The first few times I played, I didn't know about the trolls in the playfield and it was quite a surprise when they popped up. Trying to destroy the castle makes for a lot of fun too and once you do, it's pretty cool watching it move around. I could play this pin non stop for days. It's that much fun!
