Among players, ''Stargate'' is widely considered Premier's best table and the swan song of Gottlieb's pinball legacy, a table on par with the best games from any manufacturer. The ruleset is deep and varied, the playfield toys are innovative and clever, and the artwork and design are top-notch. The kickback targets and steep ramps ensure lots of fast action, and the crisp sound effects and music are augmented with an excellent sound system. Although the game was originally a modest success with approximately 3,600 units sold, [[VindicatedByHistory its subsequent vindication]] keeps demand high among collectors.

!!The ''Stargate'' pinball demonstrates the following tropes:
* AdaptationNameChange: The "Chevrons" from the movie become "Segments" here.
* AncientAstronauts: Ra, of course.
* CoolGate: The Stargate, shown on the backbox with a mirrored "infinity" effect.
* CoolShip: The Glidecraft, which comes out of the Pyramid and flies around the playfield.
* FuturisticPyramid: The Pyramid of Ra, which rises up to release the Glidecraft inside.
* PowerFloats: Hitting the Horus Guardian statues blocking your path causes them to float upward out of the way.
* SkillShot: Soft plunge the ball so it goes down the left outlane and into the Sarcophagus.
* StormingTheCastle: "Ra's Temple".
* TeleportersAndTransporters: The Transporter.
* WizardMode: The game offers two of them.
** "Stargate Multiball" is available after completing the seven Segments and reassembling the Stargate. The seven major shots are worth 20 million points each, and making all of them awards the Super Jackpot.
** The "Eye of Ra" is enabled after completing all six game modes. This is a three-stage four-ball multiball -- hit the Glidercraft several times, shoot under both levitating Guardians, then shoot the Pyramid three times.
