quick test comment. shhh.

oh, huh, I've seen these in catalogs. They look pretty terrible -- I can't imagine the response would be anything like a real pin. When I was a kid, however, I was given a "toy pinball" machine that was made of sturdy plastic and had legs in the back to tilt it off the floor. It was actually pretty fun -- but yeah, no pinball machine.

I bought a Pirates of the Caribbean pinball machine from BestBuy in their post-Xmas sale(s). For less than $200 it is fun. I good spend a lot more money but this provides some real pinball action and I have money left for the beer.

we just finished the basement and i picked this up at best buy for $200 for the kids to play. it set up in ten minutes and we've been playing it all night. for $200 i think it's very well made, sturdy and a great play [keep in mind i am NOT a serious pinball player]. in response to rajan, this is completely unlike the plastic toy pinball machines of years ago. apparently, it uses the same legs as arcade machines. we really wanted a pinball machine in the basement but weren't prepared to spend thousands on it. my husband is 6'2" and doesn't look like he is overpowering the machine when he plays. honestly, for $200 i don't think you can beat it. just my 2cents!

We can't get ours to work properly. So far the ball is unflipperable and goes out of play as soon as you start. My family isn't having fun with it at all. My husband states it works properly but is poorly designed. If you all have fun with it, maybe it's just our machine. *shrug*

I have a couple of these machines and they are a great size if they work properly, which neither of them do now. The ball won't return on one and the knob came off one. I'm having trouble trying to buy parts or get them fixed.

Our first one broke within a week, target replaced it and the second one broke in a day, I have e mailed zizzle three times with no response and even sent them a check and there order form for parts and have had no response whatsoever. ZIZZLE SUCKS

I ordered the Zizzle pinball game for my son for Christmas. It worked OK for a few days; now the right flipper won't work. One reviewer on Amazon noted the same problem and said it was easy to fix. ANY IDEAS??!! Based on the comments here, I assume my email to Zizzle will get me nowhere. Thanks.

2 hours after I began playing the POTC3 (at world's end) pinball machine the right flipper wasn't responding properly. Two days after that the left flipper is worse than the right. The assemblies behind the buttons must be loose from the factory and Zizzle won't respond. It's usable but It's a pain trying to push the flipper buttons in just the right spot. I'm going to have to open it up and see what the problem is. P.S. the new pirates game "at world's end" has the same software as "dead man's chest". The LCD even scrolls "pirates of the carribean II". What a RIPOFF! What do you want for 200 bucks? They still shouldn't be cutting corners... I was almost satisfied! Fix the flipper button assemblies and give it some original software and you have something GREAT!

I have had the same flipper problem as the other commenters. This game is a complete piece of junk. Zizzle is completely unresponsive. I hope the go out of business.

Left flipper weak and twitchy, Right doing same thing now too.Ony had a month.

I own the Marvel Pinball.The problem with the flippers is the push buttons.The design is poor as it doesnt always contact.They need to be replaced with new buttons.Any decent momentary switch will work,I used actual game/arcade buttons I found at a hobby shop and wired from old buttons to new ones.Also I added a Post on the playfield between the flippers and a small post on each side of the "lose a ball" tracks.I made sure the ball could still go through these areas but not quite as easily as before.The game is now way more fun and the kids want to play.The hole thing took about an hour and $10 dollars in parts.

k, i got the "Marvel Heroes & Villains" Table, and it worked first couple times.. now when i turn it on it does a product test and sits at the "switch test" and does absolutley nothing, and pressing "start" takes it through tests 1-7 then it goes right back to the Product test..i really hate Zizzle, i will be looking for a refund on this useless junk they produce... this is the second table i got. first one didn't even turn on.. i think these products suck

I was thinking of buying one today and so I browse online for reveiws after reading all of the comments here, I decided not to buy it, ill save for a real coin-op pinball machine.
