Tales from the Crypt Data East, 1993
This game brings back memories of watching the show. Great game fun shots especially for how old this game is. I believe it’s under rated. For all the horror themed games this one is up there.

Ultraman (Collectors Edition) Spooky Pinball, 2021
Came to this game right when code updates started happening - so about a year after release. Not familiar with Ultraman so no theme bias. Game (just like it's brother Halloween) is gorgeous in all aspects - backgalss/cabinet/playfield. I love the Godzilla art but this one is better. Game is very immersive with good sounds and video. You can look at the playfield and know without playing it - this game is going to shoot different from other machines and I think that's a big strength. I know people complain about those upper playfields but when you get the upper most playfield dialed in ( you have to make sure flipper is at right position) - ripping spinners and then making the ramp shot is just a blast. The game does feel kinda clunky on the two main ramps and I feel for those that played the game and had issues making the those shots due to diverter or weak flippers. Never had that issue on my machine which came pretty dialed in from previous owner. I love the modes - don't care about scores I just want to win battles and it's always fun. Well known negatives I've experienced - it's easy to knock out the mid playfield LED strip - replace it and get the LED protector recommended in the forum or it will keep happening. Servos can go out - replace with metal one from Amazon and problem solved. Ball times can be long. Is this a game for a small collection - No. Is this a really fun game to mix things up a bit - YES. Is it a game worth getting if you like Ultraman - YES.

Star Gazer Stern Electronics, 1980
Must’ve walked by this game at least 100 times and never played.
Along a wall with a bunch of old Sterns that I have played in tournaments but last night was the first night playing stargazer. (Finally won a match on it)
pretty cool game reminds me a little bit space station with you how inlanes are set up. Thought the geometry was really appealing and challengin.
I really liked cradling and catching with it changing bonus off flipper. No flipper passing and you get lulled into thinking the sdtm is the only way to drain as outlanes look small…not the case.
I’m sure the rarity drives the price As I thought it might be a cool one for the collection but not at that price tag.
For those that own it….kudos…. cool for holding onto it and would look great in any collection

Elton John (PE) Jersey Jack, 2023
Elton John is Not my favorite. The EJ Pinball is very nice. With nice Flow. A very good Steve Richie Pin and for me the best JJP so far.

Elton John (PE) Jersey Jack, 2023
The best of Steve Ritchie! Not a big fan of the music or theme but it all works great, game is fun and shoots like a dream. If it was $9-10K I would almost certainly buy one.
Hoping one of the 2 new arcades opening locally get one to play!

Centaur Bally, 1981
Absolutely the finest table from arguably the greatest year in pinball. A classic from head to toe, it has no peer. I implore fans of modern pinball to go back and embrace the addictive simplicity of games of this era. After dredging through lofty rulesets for years and playing for code completion on some of the deepest games ever I’ve really found myself fully magnetized to games like Centaur, Fathom, Xenon, Flash Gordon and Space Shuttle. Easy to learn but tough to master. True beasts of risk and reward. There is no better feeling than loading up your bonus x and having a massive scoring fit. And no worse feeling than setting it all up just to watch it crash immediately. ONE MORE GAME TO BEST YOURSELF. That’s pinball, that’s the name of the game. 1981. It’s coming back. Centaur specifically is the leader of the pack and highly regarded for a reason.
Now…if someone could patch in code to account for rollovers that would be great.

Metallica (Premium) Stern, 2013
iconic machine from one of the best hard rock bands, for anyone who is a fan it deserves to have in their collection, however I think the game's CODE is very shallow, it is an older machine and was very good in its time but now it can't compete with the new ones machines and the new codes, Metallica doesn't react in the same way as other modern machines, it's a good game but outdated, it goes well in a collection with more machines, but having it in a small collection will get boring quickly.

Junk Yard Williams, 1996
We have a week ago and I like it, funny game, better than a lot of currently top100 machines, has the "one more game" factor. One thing is annoying: the toilet sound is fun for the first time, but often...

Alice Cooper's Nightmare Castle Spooky Pinball, 2017
I've only had the game for a week but I'm really enjoying it. It's a darker lit game but that matches the theme. I'm not a big Alice Cooper fan but I love his call outs and his music/songs do a great job matching with the monster modes.
The artwork is gorgeous! The videos are great, love the comic book feel.
A lot of shots on this game. The upper playfield has a bunch to do unlike most where you just keep trying to make loops.

Star Wars (Premium) Stern, 2017
Very underrated game and i think it's mostly because it's fast and brutal. That said, in a home environment it's got the assets and the code, you will get better. Usually takes me a game or two to get into the game but man it's fun. Definitely a game on my wish list - one day I'll swap one in.
May the force be with you!

Scooby Doo (Collectors Edition) Spooky Pinball, 2022
I’ll admit, I didn’t expect to like playing this game. I’m a fan of the theme, having watched the show as a kid and even enjoying the 2002-2004 movies. I’m still a pretty big Scooby fan. I was blown away by the art package when it was revealed. Very true to the original art, not a modern, revisionist twist on Scooby-Doo. It looks like the first season, and the video content is very good. Spooky made a pin based on the 1969 season 1 and did a fantastic job. But the early reviews…spooked…me. I passed on ordering one. I even passed on used examples at great prices for nearly a year. I finally decided I had to try owning one for myself. I’m so glad I did. Fortunately, mine was dialed-in by the original owner, who ironed out any minor issues. He only experienced a misaligned opto. Otherwise, it’s been solid. I’ve been blown away by the fun shots and deep code. It’s not an easy game, but the pitch seems especially important on this pin. I haven’t explored all the rules yet, and other than unmasking villains, it’s not super clear what the goals are. But the modes are plentiful, and varied. The upper playfield is really fun, with plenty of shots. Cool apron ball locks too. Spooky continues to create unique, original playfield designs. This one is a bit smoother and more flow than Halloween. Both have impressed me lately with their latest codes. My Scooby hasn’t gotten glitchy (yet), which could affect my feelings I’m sure. But so far, the theme integration, visual and audio experience, and gameplay are pretty dazzling. The light show is spectacular too. If Scooby holds up and proves reliable, it will be one of the best new pins I’ve ever added.

Galactic Tank Force (LE) American Pinball, 2023
Galactic Tank Force – I dig the artwork and the campiness. I actually like the way some of the shots feel. Yes, it feels challenging and like something may be just a little ‘off,’ but I do like it. I almost traded for one, but it feels like a pin I may want to play for 6 months, but probably trade after that and it is not really holding its value against all the other spectacular pins coming out. THE ART, the sound package seems ok, good sound quality (maybe it’s adjusted correctly since other raters have stated it needs to be adjusted out of the box.) I am playing it at my local pinball club. It’s not my first go-to, but I like to get a game or two on it for sure before I leave. The owner hates it, so I may end up trading something for it later. I generally do not like to rate a pin until I’ve spent LOTS of time on it…but it seems this pin could really use another positive review.
--Is it a Stern? No. It has the kitch and feel of a throwback pin with modern technology. I’ve heard these break down frequently, but it’s always working at my pinball club, but they keep it off to the side and I don’t think it gets much play. I know they had some trouble with it initially.
--I love campy pins. Godzilla is in fact, super campy. Combine that with world class audio, and the best Elwin shots, and you have #1. I sold my GZ Premium AGAIN for the 5th or 6th time simply because I didn’t want to play it but once a week. I love it, but it’s super long playing. GZ is vastly better in a HOME environment with all the MODS, and dialed in. GTF is sort of short playing for me still, until I get into the zone. I don’t fully understand the ruleset yet, but I know I can bang the hell out of the tank as soon as I get multiball. I like the cow. I like the ball lock. The ramps feel good. I like the color scheme. It seems like you should be able to flip through the video. Seems like you can sometimes. When I can’t, I rest a moment. My pinball club started renting out pins for a month at a time. I want to rent it and get it home where I can play it all hours of the night.
--Like I said, I really haven’t put enough games on it yet, BUT I will, and then I will update my review.
--I go to my pinball club to play Elton John, got one on order. It shoots great, LOVE the sound package, love the shots, love the art and mechs and light show, campy too for sure. I stop to play Jaws Pro, and then I hit GTF, then I’m out, and there are LOTS of great pins there.
--I feel like there is something special about GTF since I always have to stop and play it before I leave.

Elton John (CE) Jersey Jack, 2023
This is a great pinball machine. It’s filled with lots of great and creative shots, and the light show is the best I’ve ever seen. The shots are fast and flowy. This is one of the best shooting pins out there.
The callouts are fun, and the music speaks for itself.
In terms of toys, it’s got 3 major toys. The piano, the dancer, and the crocodile. The dancer and croc are pretty simple, but the piano is really neat, with the animated Elton John and the screen that is basically a DMD.
The art is fantastic. It’s glittery, stylish, and just really pleasing to look at. Compared to many other games, it just looks like it’s on another level.
Great game overall - and probably one of the best games ever made for my money.
The only downside I see is the high NIB price, which, if you only play on location, it’s even an issue.

Guns N' Roses (LE) Jersey Jack, 2020
Played the SE on Location and flippers were super weak and the center vuk was shooting down the middle all the time.
couldn’t hear the music which was a real bummer so I never went back to the game.
Fast forward 3 months later and played at friends.
Game was set up perfectly, got to crank the music and loved it.
Disclaimer: huge GNR fan and fondly remember when Appetitie dropped on the heels of all of the grunge that I was into. Album blew me away and have loved GNR ever since.
Friend didn’t have the adult language on and also a couple of my favorite songs that were locked by not having that setting.
I am usually in lockstep with the pinside community.
In this case was/am as well due to the excessive multi balls and ease to get them. I do love unlocking the songs and playing all the way through to encore is a visceral experience unlike most games for me.
I’ve been reading a lot about the new code in beta and excited to see the scoring updates and changes in rules set.
Personal opinion JJO GNR is one of the best used values in Pinball right now as number of people have dumped their LE’s at super low discounts.
Outstanding game with vast improvements on the horizon.

The Big Lebowski Dutch Pinball, 2016
Played a number of times on location over the course of past 4 months. Love the different toys, playfields and the theme! Dude abides for sure but…all games where I play are set up steep and no exception here.
Still felt really floaty and slow to me. Sandwiched between EJ and Bond 60th it LOOKED to fit in but just not close to the eperience. I know ratings are subjective for sure and one day could see this in my collection but not at 13-15k.
No offense whatsoever to current owners as it it a work of art but to me doesn’t play like a top 10 pin.
Will be revisiting on my next location visit.
