Playfield teardown - parts on top of the playfield including bulbs, assemblies, wireform ramps, plastic ramps, pop bumper caps, apron, etc are all removed from the game to expose playfield surface. Inside cabinet cleaned - playfield removed from cabinet, inside vaccumed and wiped down, inside sides repainted if needed, rails scrubbed, coin door removed and rebuilt, cabinet switches checked and or replaced. Air flow grates cleaned and inspected. Wires wiped and connectors and shileding checked. Underside playfield cleaned and checked, wirelooms, inserts cleaned, mechanical parts inspected and connections verified. Clean and wax playfield - hand clean with dust free surgical cloths and a non-abrasive cleaner (not sprayed on), usually takes 2-3 times over until cloths no longer show any dirt. All drop targets, stationary targets, posts and misc metal and plastic parts are done as well that remain on playfield. Playfield parts cleaned - hand clean all removed playfield parts with dust free cloths and hand dried (no dishwasher used at all as they can warp parts) everything is hand-done. Ramps, wireforms cleaned - hand cleaned as well, wires are wiped down and switches checked, non abrasive cleaner and hand dried. Bulbs and flashers - install new bulbs and flashers on the top side of the playfield and backbox, underneath one’s are typically just bad one’s replaced unless otherwise noted.

Final playfield - all new expensive mirror glazed pinballs and apron placards installed. Head, circuitry and boards - wires all inspected and verified. Parts replaced if needed, all tests performed, checked and re-checked. Display disassembled, cleaned and put through the test paces as well to verfiy clarity and functionality.

She just had the following recently installed (about 6 months ago): all new black soft-flex rubbers / all new expensive mirror glazed premium pinballs® installed and 10 coats of wax (for super fast ball play) everything inside was checked out and working perfect! Check out the bunch of pictures i attached as pics say 1000 words. All ramps and playfield parts were disassembled and cleaned. The flippers were checked out and adjusted so they fire like cannons and perfectly symetrical every time. The slingshots and pop bumpers have been set “super sensitive” - i love them set this way, if the ball just glances them they fire it off in a diffrent direction, makes gameplay soooo much better than having to have the ball hit hard and right on. Sorry i attached so many pictures over 28+ pictures!

It’s the original factory door i believe. There are reasons why some folks take thier pictures in the dark and it’s not because they can’t find a clamp on light.
We have a ultra high resolution camera. You can get in depth details of this pinball and just about any other at (which stands for internet pinball database). The following were comments made about the game….. Firstly, anyone who says starship troopers is not fun, needs to go to the doctors!! If u have played a starship troopers, that is set up correctly, and is in good condition, you will find it fun and challenging. And really entertaining to say the least… Every single person who has played mine at my house says one thing…. I have a dozen different pinballs now, and this is a great machine.

Some people always compare every machine to a twilight zone or a star trek next gen, thats fine,, but get serious. Every machine is fun and excellent in its own right. You will have to look far and wide to find any machine that is as fun and exciting as when starship troopers multiball kicks in… The various large lights flash, the dot matrix video screen looks great and you can tell that something exciting is about to happen.

I was referred to my starship troopers by a 50 year old pinball tech who has been in the industry for over 20 years. And he was not wrong. Starship troopers is fun and exciting. The audio is excellent on my machine.

Screaming bugs, people yelling “kill them all”… Lots of audio including “we neeeeedddddddd soldiers”…. The video diplay of the bugs killing people, the death toll numbers rising numerically like there has been a nuclear war,,,, come on man, this pin is bloody excellent !!!! This machine has great dot-matrix video/graphics…

The brain bug pops up for an added effect and overall, very popular with friends n family… If u see a starship troopers, grab it… Backboard a bit boring but is themed well… Overall, a definate keeper !!! I hate to break your bubble…
I bought this machine and stuck it between whitewater and theater of magic and guess which machine got the most attention. Lots of cheap toys but the backglass is simply stunning. Who would have thought that a cheap tube could get that much attention. Perhaps pinball ought to move to hdtv? It’s embarrasing to spend thousands on a classic and some sega game steals your thunder. Sometimes when its late at night (too late to play pinball without waking the neighbours) i just stand for a minute and look at the playfield. Really bright and colourful and covered in cool static official starship troopers toys. It features a fair range of the usual items 3 pop bumpers / 2 slings / a couple of sinkholes that lead to a kickout scoop / kickout hole / 2 ramps which can either return to the flippers on fast shots or drop out onto playfield locations on slow shots.

/ large loop around the back / several static targets there are 2 magnets at the rear of the playfield to catch balls in the loop for ball lock. The playfield lacks a laser kickback as found on williams / de games, which is a shame, but then again there is a ball save timer to protect you against premature drains. A unique feature is the one of the most notable features of the playfield is the 3rd mini flipper, which is inline with the normal right flipper.

At first it may seem a little pointless (except for the double scoring on bugs) but it makes shots at the all-important recon scoop and the nuke kickout hole much easier to attain. Who could miss the giant brain bug that pops out of the playfield, that will certainly surprise you the first time you see it. Lastly we will finish off mentioning the other unique feature which is the 4 led displays in the playfield that tell you how many of each bug you have left to kill. Gameplay: for a beginner, this machine can be frustratingly difficult. I get mad with the number of balls i loose down the centre (mostly from poor shots at the ramps) even with a tilt that sends the machine 3 foot across the room you cant save the ball from the middle (hence why they have a timed ball saver i assume) the ruleset is deep and complex.

That said this is an ideal game for intermediate to pro players and it really will keep you going for a long time. It will be a long long time before i make it to the last planet thats for sure! So what do i love about the gameplay. One of the first things i like is the absolute clear understanding of what you are aiming for. You have a light telling you which planet you are on, you have led displays to tell you how much of each bug you have left to kill and you have lights on the ramps to tell you which ramp/loop you have hit or need to hit.

Really simple clear main objectives! Everyone loves multiball and this machine really likes to give you multiball, there are several different ways to activate the different multiball modes, this is where you rack up the points! Second time i have owned this pinball. I found another one in excellent condition and could not resist it. Artwork on playfield including the giant bugs is outstanding.

The start of the multi-ball is wonderful. The sounds are first rate and the voice tracks from michael ironside are great. The dmd animations and graphics are very nice. Love the convex back box.
The digital scoring on playfield when you kill the bugs is a nice touch. The third little flipper is a very nice innovative feature.
The brain bug is a cool toy and feature too. What can i say, i loved the movie because it doesn’t take itself seriously.
The parody quality of the movie is very much incorporated into the total design. If i could have rated it higher i would have done it. An all action game in the mould of games like getaway. Unnusual in that its a 90’s game and not mode based. It is a fun and a challenging game but i feel the sounds should have been more varied and the build quality could have been better e. The small flipper takes a while to master. One of sega’s best efforts with a unique play field and 6 player play! All action pinball machine that reflects the spirit of the film. The full on agressive play may not suit all but thats the whole point. Its not supposed to be taken seriously-its a blast like getaway attack from mars or black knight 2000. Outstanding game for a sega! New high security gold lock. New polished gold leg bolts. 10 coats of wax for super fast ball play! - you won’t believe how fast the ball rifles around on this one!
