Yet another really cool theme that is a complete whiff on execution, and I don't really think it is anyone's fault. This comes from an era of really low standards for pinball machines and this one is no different. It's pretty trashy and the gimmicks are pretty dumb. The only cool shot is really the time travel shot, but any pin with a toilet and a spinning character is hardly even trying. Some of the loops are nifty but overall there is nothing special going on.

Played at Pinfest 2023.
Quite a fun pin with a fast fan layout. Nothing super-special about the layout, but the theme really makes this pin. The music package is amusing from the first plunge, and the DMD animations raise a chuckle. I had a quite good game on this, including several multiballs, and had a great time. Not the greatest pin in the world, but good if you like the theme and can get it for a decent price.

Surprised by this machine, didn't fancy it. Very good shots, toys are varied, not overly easy. Much better than expected, loved the callouts. For a stern surprisingly good toys and more packed playfield. Under rated I think compared to other sterns.

Played this years ago when it first came out and was kinda underwhelmed, especially when stern was the only game in town at the time and they could have done so much more with this awesome license, at least.. to the layperson like me.. they could have done more.. but also I don’t make machines for licensed products and I have no idea what kind of hell that most likely can be so it is what it is and I can’t really blame them.. that beating said I picked up one recently for a price I was willing to pay and by god I love it.. like.. LOVE it.. the fan layout is great, the shots are tight and makable, but also unforgiving and can lead to brick city if you aren’t precise and on your game. A solid player like myself can keep the ball alive a long time and really give the rules a workout. While it’s not super deep, it is a fun time and a decent challenge for players of all skill leve to get to virtucon and then moonbase.. the music package is great, if slightly repetitive and not the actual music from the film but a karaoke style version, not terrible but not legit, some of the callouts are a bit muffled although all are great and really fit the tone of a game as well as make ya laugh , I’ve seen some posts about pinsound and custom audio for this game, looks like I’ll be buying that! I need more silly jokes from the movies! Only sad thing about this machine is no Goldmember.. but I can live with that.. it plays a bit like Iron Man and AFM .. but a lot more forgiving.. give it a play if ya find one… if your a fan of the films and pinball, it’s a must have

Groovy Baby! Bought this game brand new and it will always remain in our collection! Very happy with the recent addition of color dmd screen. This game has a simple theme that makes it fun to play over and over again. Fun for players of all ages and skill levels!

Truly a terrible game. Even if you're an Austin Powers fan, this game is sure to annoy you before the end of your first play. The sound and music are repetitive and of poor quality. The layout is a very standard fan layout, but the rules are so basic that it all just ends up being a huge snooze fest. The toilet shot is unreliable as clean shots often just fall off the side rather than hit home. The Mini Me spinner is too heavy to get good spins going. There are just a lot of bad and uninspired ideas on this game.
The layout was partially recycled for Iron Man, but on Iron Man the rules get a massive upgrade and the shots are SO MUCH better. Night and day difference between the games.
I give Austin Powers a hard pass.

If you love Austin Powers, you'll love this pin ... if you don't, you won't. It's that simple.

We call this game "Sexy Iron Man" in my neck of the woods due to the Borg design. If you see one play it and don't take it to seriously. Fun and quick game play, it kills titans in our tourneys.

This was my first machine. If you like the theme you will love the pin. If Austin Powers isn't your thing you will likely find the music and call outs a bit annoying.

This is a solid game that has great humour. A great game for beginners and fans of the movie. Nice feel to the playfield and a few nice rewarding shots. This game is great for parties and is a lot of fun for everyone.

I owned this game I love the theme and I think it gets a bad rap overall but some of it is justified. The game can get a bit repetitive and I knew when I bought it I would like sell it later on. I love the Fat Bastard multi ball I love the color changing LED bulbs I put in. This game can pop with bright LED's.
It is a game I describe as a quick pinball game good for a quick game but nothing like deeper games where you can play longer. It's good just not great.
