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 too lived thru the 80's...I beg to differ...

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................

Best Game Ever!

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!

Bite your tongue!    

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!

Damn, my secret identity is out! However, I am not nostalgic of the 80's I am simply stating that I liked it and I don't find it ugly one bit.  As far as nothing classic coming out of it is your opinion, I guess you preferred your butt ugly colors of what you were wearing as a kid...... in the 70's!  And by the way I did not have the Trans Am but the Special Edition Firebird with driving gloves and sunglasses but no puffy hair and long hair in the back it was crimping my driving style.

Is it safe to assume you were a mama's boy currently still a virgin and your only pleasure is rubbing your pinball while gently ......... yourself?

90% of the references to Hollywood Heat on this board i think refer to a single machine.

I *think* websherpa or another more eastern member had it, and lost money selling it to Terry (B1) who lost a little money selling it to me after letting it sit for years in his basement.... so i in turn lost money selling it to Gerald (GJD) who i think has it in his workshop as a reminded to never trust me or any other maaca member ever again.

Its a not minty condition game that probably needs minor work to be a player (Terry ASSURED me that it was probably just a fuse) but nobody ever does the work.  I had a crazy electrician come by the house helping me with some arcade stuff, who used to work on routed machines, he figured it would be an easy fic, but i never got him to do it... I just passed it along the chain of sorrow.

If you are looking for a project machine and LOVE the 80's talk to GJD!

Well, I dunno if Wbradley is a virgin per se... his kids do resemble him, but i've only met the one of them.... and perhaps it was his brothers kid.....

just posted it.. Don't worry axe, I trust you, and others. It is with great sadness that i put it up for sale, although i wanted to keep it as the pinnacle of my collection, alas there are more worthy people than i who deserve this piece of "art".
Seriously, im clearing out some stuff to make room for more stuff ( coming soon)

Bonjour,
Peu importe ce que tout le monde en pense, La Hollywood est une très bonne machine de son temps.
J'en ai eu une pendant 8 ans et j'en suis content, Le gameplay est amusant et c'est du solide ces machines là.
C'est vrai que son translite est plutôt passé de mode mais c'est tout de même mieux que la Raven et Génésis des mêmes années.
Bon tout le monde peut bien rire de cette machine mais c'est une affaire de goût, rien d'autre.

Moi j'aime la Hollywood Heat....

You got me pinned on everything except the virgin part. As far as the rubbing, dont worry, I put Purell on the flipper buttons and lockdown bar afterward. Oh, and who knows her son better that a mother?????

That particular Hollywood Heat did come through the "webSherpa pinTopia" (no fuses broken - but admittedly sticky in places).
