Unfortunately we were not allowed to illustrate the characters on the playfield. Hence the photoshopped images. JP

You should consider doing an update to this review, as Pinside reviewers have claimed the code changes were the most comprehensive of any pin ever done, and have made an already very good pin into an incredible pin. SDTMs biggest knock was the code, and now from those Pinside reviews, the code is incredible. TBL license expires at the end of 2024, so giving DP the review the update now deserves would help a startup move some pins before it is discontinued. Everyone agrees that the quality is superb, producing such a strong initial offering, and supporting DP into the future is good for the industry.

After preordering this game in July 2014, I just received my "Achiever Edition" of The Big Lebowski from Dutch Pinball, and the wait (while far from desirable) was well worth it in the end! This game is already "F***kin' A" fantastic and, as you guys pointed out, will only get EVEN better when more code is released!
@SDTM3 жыл бұрын
Agree. It’s so damn close to a near perfect pin. Needs more code and I would have loved to have seen one fairly difficult/satisfying shot in the layout

Other themes I would love to see: * Gremlins (a prequel is coming) * Thundercats (would trade it for my TMNT LE) * Jaws * And back to the future

Never played it but It looks very oldschool layout and rules wise. I've got the feeling Pinball evolved a lot since then (Deadpool, jurassic park, iron maiden, Pirates etc.) But do you punish it for being like some of the most loved Pinball machines of all time? And the awesome upper playfield makes up for not having a saucer or castle shot.

Good points. The only real worry is lack of code depth and code polish
@tikibirdarcade66473 жыл бұрын
From what I saw and played of it at Pinball Expo 2016 and Texas Pinball Festival 2019, my only problems I got with it is code isn't that great, and reliability. Seeing it break down, getting worked on, turned off that many times sure wasn't a good sign, and all the drama on top of that turned Dad and me off from getting once even though we're big fans of the movie. Dad decided to get a Batman 66 instead. Glad Dutch is bouncing back finally making them. Hopefully they'll be rolling out those updates and it's more reliable. Looking forward to giving it another shot

You have to acknowledge the fact that buying something like this can result in a $12,000 paperweight that sits in your corner broken and mocks you.
@michaelxwhite2 жыл бұрын
That's why I decided ultimately not to purchase it. Parts and break downs. It's true the machine isnt all that reliable. It's a collectors paperweight. Is it worth the $15,000 pinsiders ask when selling it used...heck no. My thoughts, it will come down on the used market to the 8k range. Then the prive of the paperweight is made considerably cheaper.
