Quicksilver has so much going for it. Amazing sounds that are just as good today as they would have when first released, lightning fast game play, great shots including the middle drop targets, spinners and the ability to sweep both drop targets into the spinner. Some of the best feeling shots in pinball ever. Rules are simple (typical for the era), but have you coming back for more and more, great replayability on this one.
Cabinet is simple but sleek and back glass is stunning with super rich colours. Playfield is equal parts unusual and unique.
Definitely a pin that will last a long time in my collection

Love the Classic Sterns.
I really like the layout with dual spinners, drop targets, and triple pops. Artwork is not the most pleasing to me -- but gameplay makes up for it. Would love to add one to the collection someday.

I love this game for the artwork alone. Plenty of drop targets and 2 spinners work well together. The lower bank requires careful handling. A poorly timed shot against the post will drain the ball while you can sweep the entire bank if you hit it perfectly. Getting the spinners lit is where the money is. You accomplish that by dropping the corresponding drop target bank if I remember correctly. I have been trying to find a well preserved example of this game for years without much success.

This is a players dream game. Fast and balanced scoring with a great layout. Combo the drop targets into the spinner, very rewarding. Nice art package and sounds. This is my favorite classic Stern. Very happy I gave it a chance.

So, this game is exceptionally fast and has amazing sounds, lightshow, rules and a wonderful layout.
Many rare games like this are rare because they weren't that good, such is not the case with Quicksilver, it's rare because Stern was going under as a company but this is easily classic Stern's best playing game.
This is a game worth finding and playing. Phenominal tournament quality game.

Quicksilver is tough and has brutal outlanes, but the left drop target bank is really cool. More often than not, a clean shot from the left flipper will bounce through the left spinner up the orbit, sometimes all the way back up top. It's also sweepable from the right flipper although I'm terrible at that. It has the whole early solid state "spell a big long word all around the playfield" thing going for it, but thankfully you can collect letters from the drops. Scoring seems sensible and balanced, get the drop value up, advance your multipliers, rip the spinners when you can, it's not a one shot game or anything. I like that the spinners stay lit until you hit them, that seems like an uncharacteristically nice thing to do for a game of this era.
Not my favorite game, but one with neat geometry and balanced scores.

Very odd playfield layout with sideways drop targets close and to the left. Tricky shots all over the table and spelling quicksilver aint easy. I enjoy it...could have used a better theme.

not my top pick... but then again I'm not into sifi stuff.... game is fun to play and the bonus that continues from ball to ball is a fun variance from other machines... it really makes me focus on a good first ball
