So one of my coworkers' church is getting rid of a bunch of stuff in their basement and one of the items is a Gold Wings pinball they had purchased for the kids to play way back when. With the price they want for it I will be buying it regardless, but I was wondering how much fun it is? Ive seen some pictures and it looks like an interesting playfield with off-center flippers.

It was my first pin. The game is ok to play not the best but not horrible either. The best part of the game is the air raid siren. If that is working just sit back and watch the rest of the family jump to life when it goes off. I had issues with the top loop breaking and could never find the part. Sounds like you are getting it for a good price so enjoy it for a while and then move it on to someone else. I sold mine when I moved, I just did not want to move it again.
 
if its free or cheap ,get it, but quite frankly, it blows chunks. im pretty easy when it come to raiting pins, but gold wings is really a dog.
 
Well, ok so I am not buying it. It's free! And I haven't said no to a free pinball yet ;)
 
Free is good!!!

I think its an interesting game. It's got a bizarre layout which you'd never see on a modern game...a loop-de-loop shot....and cool NES-style music!
