It's terrible.  If you want it for historic value, get one, but if you want a game worth playing, find a Baby Pac or Granny and the Gators.

I know guys who are far more hardcore than I am, but for BYOAC standards, probably.

He he...there is also a Disco Fever local to me. 8)  The theme amuses me but I don't know if I'd actually want it in the basement.  Anyone ever play one?

WareWolF:
Contact the seller and go play it to determine if you like it or not, pinballs are very subjective, one person may hate the game and another may love it.   

Keep in mind that with older machines you will need some electronics knowledge as well as a little mechanical aptitude to keep things running.

If you need to do any board work and you cannot do it yourself you will almost guarantted having to sooner or later pay for repair work unless the machine has already been rebuilt and/or had new replacement boards installed.

If you want "fully shopped" machines as stated above, then buying a used 80's machine is not going to be worth your time unless you buy from a dealer and get a warantee, which if you do that you will be paying probably about 2x what you could resell it for, in which case a newer machine may be a better buy for you.

Regarding Caveman, I am probably in the minority but I think it was a kinda ok game, I would not want it as my only pin but as a novelty game if I could get one really cheap I would consider it.  I think it is a better game than Baby Pac since it's full size.
