Title: gottlieb counterforce thoughts? Post by: iankellogg on January 28, 2014, 07:18:04 pm There is a guy about an hour away from me that is selling a working but in okay shape counterforce for $400. I don't know anything about this machine, I have tried looking up stuff online and watch videos of the game but I have never seen one in person. What are your thoughts on the machine and is it worth looking at?

the game itself, nothing to really do. 7 drops and really thats it. I would not want this as my only pin or first pin. Title: Re: gottlieb counterforce thoughts? Post by: ronsplooter on February 18, 2014, 05:09:49 pm Got to agree with BloodyCactus on this one, if it's your only pin then you'll probably get bored of it quickly. I've played it once at the London Pinball Championships as part of the classics comp and it was a bit meh! Tournament play is never the best way to judge a pin but its a very open playfield with not a lot going on.
Having said that, $400 is cheap for any pin and in pinball, one mans turd is another mans gem so you might love it. Will the guy who's selling it let you go over and put some games on it, then you could get a feel for whether it's something you'll enjoy? |
