    Thanks Ronnie for getting Gorgar back talking and fixing all the switches that was not working. Since we bought the game home it has played great. The backglass looks better and it will not any worse. I love the pit shot and the spinner really rips well when hit. I am glad you enjoyed playing Gorgar, if you ever visit you are more than welcome to play it. Thanks again Ronnie Frank

    When this game first came out, a lot of the local arcades in my area would wire in a large stereo system speaker and mount it on top of the backbox. That way, you could hear the pin talk clearly over the din of video games.

Stayed on the machine for 3 weeks once. Yes, the high scoring was a plus with playing it. And if I remember correctly, space invaders was directly across from Gorgar!!

    That looked like so much fun friend, I used to love playing that game with my dad and sister back when it came out. This brought back alot of memories. We used to laugh so much when the game said "me hurt". The weird thing is if I had a million dollars I would have bet it and lost, that he says "gorgar hurt " but that's just how we remember things sometimes. I remember my palms sweating as the heartbeat sped up. Thanks a bunch man for playing this game and having fun with it, sure brightened my day 👍🙂

    Fun Fact. Probably 82 or so. Remote town in North Dakota. (Maddock) Had a bowling alley. Space invaders and Gorgar pinball. We found out(now that I know how they work) that the Gorgar was giving free games at 10K. (either dead battery or bad 5101) We played all day on the machine for 50 cents and then sold it for 2 dollars. Epic. Sorry Bowling Alley owner, I owe you some $$$
