Let's play the game and have fun WITH GILLIGAN, THE SKIPPER TOO, A MILLIONAIRE, AND HIS WIFE, A MOVIE STAR, A PROFESSOR AND MARION, HERE ON GILLIGAN'S ISLAND!
I played this machine like 20 years ago when it first came out. The best thing about it was the vocals.....just very funny...Mr. Howell saying to Gilligan... ' I hope there's more where that comes from' and ' Gilligan, how would you like to be my caddie ?' were just hilarious because of the timing.
I played this game about 2 years ago at a local bowling . of course the machine was defective , i really ended up playing only 1 game , after that it went kaput !
one of the first with a dot-matrix score display, improving the animations shown when features were awarded, like the pineapples, the Lava Selzer ready, and the 50 million. Rules for getting "Bonus" Ball and Multiball were non-standard, but the sound was top-notch!
First time I saw a pinball with a dot matrix display was Gilligan's Island, on July 6, 1991
I WANT ONE XD i remeber as a kid thay had one at a hotel where i was staying and i play it like 100 times a day D: i was so addicted and it used to play the the,e and i miss that sound xD
They're pretty good renditions of the original TV show characters. A bit cartoony, but they got it mostly right.
Now, if you think the TV show characters looked retarded, well, that's your opinion. They were kinda meant to be, tho - that was the whole point of the show. Different audience back then, too...
i just played this game for free like 20 times at a store there also was the simpsons pinball party there was rct pinball and there was pirates of the carrabean and there was spider man. they were all free!!!! i played te whole day and this pinball was my favorite
its also funny how extra ball is called BONUS BAll in this game. Instead of being used right after you lose your current ball, it is used when all your other balls are gone. So if the setting is 3 balls per play, the DMD will say BALL 4 when your BONUS BALL is used.
i think the music that plays on the screen after you lose a ball, when it shows your bonus score, is funny. It's also played in the attract mode of the game around the time when the dot matrix display says "A MOVIE STAR".
this is actually the second pinball game made by williams/bally to have a dot matrix display (the first one was Terminator 2, but due to the production of T2 taking more time than expected, Gilligan's Island was the first one to be released before T2)

This machine was hard to get high scores on and a replay compare to the other bally/wms games around that time
I did love all all bally games with the speakers on top but was weird how black rose was made after Addam's Family

I din't really enjoy this that much because multi-ball can only be achived by a random lucky blue lagoon.
And you always don't get the mult-ball its always just some point. How dumb is that.
versus other pinball games you get multi-ball by locking a number of balls and then shooting a certain targert or ramp.
Gilliagans Island just dosen't have a strategic challenge.
