Being fairly new to the hobby I am a bit puzzled by the references that are often made to the pin.  I checked it out online and cannot find anything wrong with it!  I do realize that the art on it is from the 80's but the machine looks fun to play. So why so many bad comments?

Can you explain to me the reason behind all the joking on this pin.  Truthfully I am not in the buying market now but as soon as I am if anyone don't want theirs I am a taker!!!  If you happen to know the fair market value of that pin please post it.

No matter what you think the 80's were great............

I think it looks like fun too but have only played the visual pinball version. I really like the goofy 80's Miami Vice look with that ridiculous translite. So bad it's good.

Of course every era is great but what I meant to say is that I had a great time in the 80's and guess what?  While in it the fashion was not that bad.  Go back to the 70's and yes I went through that one as a kid and it was bold in colors....to say the least.  

I still think the Hollywood heat machine looks good and I would buy one.  Don't compare to today's machine just appreciate for what it is a good example of the 80's................

I played it a lot in the arcade back then, i dont remind it beeing especially bad but it's been a while since i have played one.

There was a neon-like light somewhere on the pf if i remember well (captive ball area ?) and the music was good for the time.

It's a good player, but not very pretty to look at.

A few others are like that.  (Raven, Genesis)

Usually anything made by Premier

Leave it to Terry to hit the nail on the head!  (note: his remark is dripping in sarcasm!)

I've played it once, and that was once too many.  Bad bad bad bad bad...

I liked the ramp launch idea, and the tricky moguls, but Genesis trumps Hollywood Heat by about 1000 miles, your mileage may vary.  

Actually this is just all a nefarious attempt to drive DOWN the price of Hollywood Heat so we can all get one.

I think that Medieval Madness is a hunk of junk too by the way!

gmaranda is it fair to assume you have a big poofy hairstyle which is long in the back and you are wearing Jordache jeans? Of course the jeans must have an emphasized faded area in the crotch.

Why dont you get into your Trans Am and rocket on down to Miami where the coke scene is really hoppin'. Make sure you dont forget that Flock of Seagulls cassette.

From a nostaglic point of view the 80's is great. Fashion and style were ridiculous in terms of nothing classic coming out of it. Including Premier pins!


Ten SS games...but 8 is my limit!
