I've owned this machine for about 2 weeks now, it is one that I have been very happy to purchase. There is a good variety of shots, and the rules definitely mimic similar machines of that time, and I think that's a good thing, it has the 50k shot on the left that is very challenging, a great mix of risk versus reward.

It definitely has a simpler rule set, light the spinner and hit that over and over again, but I do like that you can keep hitting the same shot to increase your multiplier.

Overall, it is a fun game with good art and sound, a very solid table.

Lizard was here for several weeks while I was rebuilding the MPU- A surprising fun game.

Lizard is a very fun game. The backglass lightshow is beautiful, and the sounds of the game are great.

In terms of scoring, the 50,000 lane trumps everything, but is appropriately hard to hit. Lighting the spinner for 1,000 per spin and getting large bonuses made a difference, too.

There are three distinct things to do that all have the same reward. (1) Shoot the LAIR shot, the very tight saucer near the top of the playfield. (2) Drop all 7 drop targets to spell P-I-N-B-A-L-L. (3) Complete A-B-C-D-E on the top lanes and inlanes. Any of these three goals increases the bonus multiplier and lights the spinner for 1,000 per spin. (And maybe lights the bumpers?) It's fun to realize that you're close to completing all of the lanes or drop targets and to suddenly find something else to do.

When you're having a great ball with a 5x multiplier and the bonus maxed out at 29,000, the bonus does take a hilariously long time to score. You can't help but feel like you're bragging as you walk away, the next person walks up to the machine, and the machine keeps racking up your bonus for what seems like a couple minutes. I think it makes it fun.

Pinball Lizard is another Game Plan game that snuck up on me and made me a happy pinhead.

The Pros:
Cool shots all over the PF. The right spinner is the only easier shot on the whole deck. Good action in the pops means that the upper pf moves quickly. The lower drops are nicely laid out and the top of the PF saucer is never a gimme. The 50k shot is tough! Secondary lower PF sling on the right keeps the ball arcing across the PF and you on your toes. Drop the targets and rip the spinner. Most satisfying. Froggy pops are way rad. Sounds on this game are unique.

The Cons:
Bonus on this PF can get out of hand and as far as I can tell, bonus x carries from ball to ball making this game a bit too easy if you rock ball 1. Pink, Orange and Green on the PF makes me want to look elsewhere. The 50k left hand shot comes from the right sling more often that an aimed shot from the right flipper. Girlfriend has a tail.

The Takeaway:
A cool game with a well laid out PF and good gameplay. Steepen this game up, wax it and open the outlanes for a 3 ball player.
