Nice surprise taking the kids here. Anyone recognise the donor game?

Gorgar is sad.
Possibly the worse use of a Gorgar ever, hope it was in terrible condition for them to use it as a retheme donor.

Respectfully disagree Chris - I think it's cool that they're spreading the love of pinball and the original artwork is hardly appropriate! It was nice to see lots of kids & dads playing the machine.
Of course the donor would have been in a sorry state, it's effectively a refurbished game now, why not retheme it?
I do love me a bit or gorgar and you are right that it's not the most family friendly of themes, I possibly like it as I grew up in the 80s and was raised on an abundance of cheesy fantasy films with demons etc so really appeals to me.
And I'm sure everyone would have had just as much fun playing on a rethemed bugs bunny or everyone's favourite Poopeye, if it was genuinely a beyond saving Gorgar then I can't really moan that much about it, and it looks lime they've done a good job of the conversion as well. But I would like to add one to my collection at some point and this means there's one less out there now.
It was also the first pin with digitised speech so it's a part of pin history as well.

14,000 Gorgars made so there's no shortage of the bug_gers
