I have a lead for a Gorgar in Sydney....will be going to have a look at it...would like one in my lineup

I expect to see pictures of it in your Garage tonight then, Paul !

He was supposed to have it in the lineup fully shopped last Saturday night....did he...na.... and had no excuse!

Time to open up the can of worms.

Seriosuly, do you guys actually rate Gorgar?

Sorry Peter 

It LOOKS awesome and the sounds it puts out (especially pumped up) really set it off but is it much of a player? Can remember the first time I played it at Goddards in Sydney when they just pulled it out of the box....

Do you think there are many Bally and Stern pins (and even Gottlieb) from that era that really measure up and are much better games to play.

What are your thoughts?

I know I will upset at least one member who has a really nice example of a Gorgar 

I don't rate it even close to a Bally/Stern/Gottlieb of the same era. I'm not a fan of the System 4/6 machines.

However, Flash is 10X better as a player. I can play Flash for hours - as it plays more like a classic Bally than a Williams.

They are all excellent pins and all classics for their time and I also really rate Flash.

Once again playing Paul's last night really brought back alot of memories for alot of people. This was such a hot title when it was released and for years after.

Ya know I think it gets back to what I call "owning a pinball for arts sake". Visually its one of the best looking machines ever made, and sounds awesome as well. Just walking into a room or shed and seeing Gorgar all lite-up.........well thats hard to top.
Flash ticks the boxes in all departments, good art and terrific gameplay.

Now here's one to dare mention as well: Haunted House is a looker but to quote Spurr last nite............."man this thing is on valium!" For gameplay I just dont rate the thing. I played one in exceptional condition recently and was soooooooo disapointed. Since then I have been speaking with guys about HH, and all have said the same thing, its so slow and tedious.

Having said that..........I would pay alot of money for a nice HH because the way it looks and sounds really grabs me.

HOW MUCH IS HE ASKING FOR IT ? YEEEEEEEEP HE'S DREAMING
