I enjoy this game but I don't love it. it feels barren compared to the other elwin releases. Played over 100x now so I have had experience with the game If I were to rate all of elwins games, this comes in last. GZ, JP, IM, AIQ, Jaws. Code needs improvement because at this time it's incomplete. But even with deeper code, the layout can't change.

All the shots are the same distance away from the flippers. starting modes is a breeze. the modes aren't very different, though. Hit lit shot, repeat. all the shots are in the top 3rd of the playfield. there are no traditional ramps. as many have said before there is no real wow factor to the game- hitting the shark is underwheming and it is the games main toy. There were no "wow moments" that took my breath away or increased the heart rate. Light show is non existent. Hitting jackpots doesnt create a light show. The video clips get old very quickly imo... Staring at old sailors kind of sucks. There also also clips of people running from a beach and a terribly aged robotic shark from the movie. I don't like how you can't skip the 3 second countdown on the harpoon. Delays flow big time. The video mode is lame and not even a real effort. you get to shoot at sharks with either left, middle or right harpoons. Who cares about the 3d.

That being said the depth and variety of shots you can do with the side flipper is innovative. You can hit the barrels, the left orbit or the gap. Overall the game has good flow and as a package It does shoot very well . The art is amazing -My favourite on any pro.

Overall I like it, but I'm underwhelmed. The game is nothing new. I get the hype, I'm happy I didn't pull the trigger to own. This game will be for sale cheap 6 months from now. Critically, my friends kids skip on it. Its not something that appeals to them. My nieces dont like it either. It doesnt seem to attract the little ones, but why would. No flash, old sailors and a shark. After 100 plus plays I've almost had my fill. It's a good game, but not what the hype made it out to be....Way better than a venom though.

This pinball is a nice surprise. The theme is perfectly integrated as usual like JJP. The music is pleasant. The light show is one of the best. The flow is a marvel. The gameplay is easy to understand. It's a pinball machine to make points. No false notes ! It's perfect ! And as usual with JJP, It's a work of art.

This game doesn't seem to have a lot, but it's deceptively got lots of little things that add up!

Fun layout; challenging mode start shot and strategy implemented with the doorknob lock feature.

I regret getting rid of it, but nothing can stay forever with limited space.

Music is great, crypt jam feels sick.


Running on new code*** so not repetitive cackling like some complain about.

I received my SD BSE in February of 2024. I’ve been waiting a little over a year for the Mystery Machine art package and I wasn’t disappointed. I have to admit, the black metal flake powder coat looks amazing! It looks superb on the habbit trails as well. The color changing speaker grills are a nice touch too! I’m happy to say we currently do not have any issues out of the box to report.
First impressions of the gameplay I’m loving it. There are so many options to choose from. You can start a case, you can tryout a character mode, go to the upper playfield for Captain Cutler multi ball, catch the green ghoul, etc. You can totally get immersed into the theme with this one. We are very happy with our SD.

In the continuity of Pat Lawlor's good games. TS4 is an enjoyable game for the family.The rules are easy but as usual with Pat there is this magical thing that makes the game addictive.The flow is like butter. The caboom ramp and Gabby target are top during multiball. The light show is a fireworks. Like all the JJP's games, a work of art.

Another great game from Eric. Godfather movies and gangsters theme integration are perfect. Gliter playfield is beautiful. The interactive topper is the best that I have ever seen. Musics and lcd screen are very funny. I like the 22 skills shots. The gameplay is deep ruleset with a lots of strategy. The risks and award is top. Like all JJP’s games, it's a work of art.

(in english below) Thème qui déchire et machine à la hauteur ! Le plateau est bien rempli ! L'art est parfaitement intégré avec le thème ! Les animations sont sympas et s'accordent parfaitement avec le thème. La tête de tyrex est une dinguerie absolue !!! Le côté linéaire ne me dérange pas trop, une fois que le premier paddock est passé. Certains tirs sont serrés, mais c'est justement ce qui est intéressant dans ce jeu, le flux n'en pas moins bon; ça et le côté totalement immersif avec le tyrex qui coure apres les rescue, j'adore !

Rough translation : Awesome theme and a machine to match! The board is full ! The art is perfectly integrated with the theme ! The animations are cool and fit perfectly with the theme. The tyrex head is absolute crazy !!! The linear aspect doesn't bother me too much, once the first paddock has passed. Some shots are tight, but that's what's interesting about this game, the flow is no less good; that and the totally immersive side with the tyrex running after the rescues, I love it!

Never would have thought JJP would have brought Steve Richie in to make an Elton John pinball. Whether you are a fan or not the king does deliver and JJP brings all their glitzy lighting effects to support him. Incredible looking game all around but the gameplay is what really shines, a nod to his past classics like Spider-Man and High Speed refined with a few twists. The much improved JJP flippers standout and compliment the blazing design. Like GNR, perfect integration of the theme in a pinball machine with a better layout to support it (piano lock and rocket man ramp are a thrill). Credit due to JJP, who deliver one of their best games yet.

I trashed this game for years as I felt Steve had dropped the ball on an A+ music theme. But this game is the definition of, “never judge a book (pinball machine) by its cover”. I recently picked up a premium from the last build and I cannot stop playing it! It’s super fast and super fun and the sound, music and lights will transport you to another world as though you are on a pinball acid trip. The Translite and cabinet art suck, but that’s an easy fix. The Playfield art, video assets and call outs work extremely well with the Zeppelin theme and the overall 70”s vibe. This game makes me dance and I haven’t had that feeling playing pinball since ACDC and Kiss. One more game!! If you want an exceptional pinball adrenaline rush, that doesn’t get old, then the Led Zeppelin premium experience is a game for you.

I don't care for many Lawlor pins, but this one fits in the "I like" category. It has a lot of TAF,& Whirlwind going on, which isn't a bad thing. The gofers are up there with rudy, less complicated mechs, but cute how they wiggle while they talk, nice touch. Real backglass! and rock solid art. Software needs help. Like caucasian2step might say, is there a mystery programmer out there? Very lame when the left ramp is down and ball lock is lit.

Using the "Ghost Pepper Effect" as part of the playfield makes it more encaging I believe.

The sounds and lighting is quite something you have to experience in person playing this pin.

Lastability is definitely there. There's a lot going on with this pinball. Enjoyed playing it a lot.

The "Ghost Pepper Effect" is unique and not used a lot in pinball in general. If you're a "Star Wars Fan", then this is up your alley. The Main power switch is awkwardly located underneath near the back of the machine cabinet.

Fun and unique game with old school vibes. The simple but not easy rules/gameplay kept me saying one more game over and over.

I really enjoy playing this one.

Especially in contrast to playing a more modern game it is very relaxing.

The layout is quite good and the spinner shot is by far the best shot in the game.

In terms of rules the machine is pretty good for its age. Lighting the spinner for 1000 points is a neat feature and is a very good way to start gathering more valuable points.

All of the artwork is alright, albeit that the playfield looks a bit basic for my taste.

Overall, this is a very enjoyable older game, with a nice spinner shot, decent rules and good artwork. This is one of the machines (in contrast to Star Trek (1979)) that makes me consider playing more older games.
