One of my favorite pins....even in my collection of A listers. Have had it longer than any other pin.....

[@BuffaloPinball]

Agreed - I always have a good time with this one. Solid game!

[@brentrish7860]

Enjoyed your review, and thought your rating system was smartly designed (e.g. the 'burn it' category naming convention). I still think Dracula is one of the underrated pins in the 90's and the value finally seems to be showing respect for that. Thought it was funny that when your top 10 list was displayed, Attack from Mars wasn't on it, rather Revenge from Mars. Looking up that review now. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed and appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

for my first pin its between this and nightmare on elm st since their the cheapest out of the pins i want in my collection

[@darinstenger7123]

Also getting the castle jackpot built up is super cool. The callout u get when u hit that jackpot is my favorite.

BSD is a masterpiece, i had it longer than any others Bally Williams of the same era. For me it's the best 90s machine. Perfect in every way

Great game a SOLID CLASSIC.

[@joeb3008]

Great game and cool colors, lighting and sound but I can’t justify spending $5k+ for this when a new stern is only a couple grand more

[@BuffaloPinball]

This was a much more reasonably priced game when we reviewed it 5 years back!

@@BuffaloPinball I bet. Any idea of what it was going for then? $2.5k?

[@BuffaloPinball]

@@joeb3008 Probably around that yeah.

Interesting, that you call this machine "brutal", and White Water not. I found White Water a lot brutal, both today as well as 1993 wenn I played both in an arcade.
