I sought this one out since it's a top 10 machine, but I just don't get it. It's not a bad game, but I just don't see what makes it top 10.

TOTAN is very similar to the TOM in many ways, captive balls, vocal guidance, ball saves on the out lanes etc, stunning looking game and highly sought after. The game play is decent but there are way better players out there IMO, watch for SDTM ball drains, a nice addition to any collection if you can track one down, mine's going nowhere.

I came with no specific expectations but I got addicted quickly!
Just wanted to play more and more, get to know the game better, collect all the jewels, save the princess and beat the evil Genie! overall it's lots of fun and didn't get me bored, great animations, cool toys (genie and the lamp), everything fits the theme right.
Would love to own it some day!

A gorgeous machine, to be sure ... but not one I particularly enjoy playing. This and Theater of Magic are clearly siblings, and I think ToM is a far more engaging experience. But the artistry of this game is undeniable.

My favorite game of all time. Wish I owned one!

While this is not a difficult game to get to the wizard mode it is still a joy to play. If you avoid using the wishes to acquire the jewels it is actually not too easy to complete all of the modes with a 3 ball setting. Great spinner toy with the lamp. The bonus countdown is my favorite. Truly visually stunning will never leave my collection as my wife would not forgive me if I did.

A typical Popaduik design that looks great but plays just so-so. Way to easy to get to the end an beat the game. Had it sold it, no regrets.

Tales of the Arabian Nights is one of the all time greats. It's theme, game play and rule set is one of the best I've ever experienced. Definitely a must play for any pin head.

This is a fast moving game and extremely fun to play. The spinning genie bottle and magnet in front to the genie is something different. The ramps are fun and this is a challenging game to complete and score on.

Beautiful game and tons of fun! The artwork on the playfield is the best of the best. The genie is a really cool toy and target.

Overall this game is great, there are lots to do and quite the cool theme that is tied together well with the genie on the playfield. I am a huge fan of this game. However, I do feel the game is a bit dark, which I know can be part of the whole arabian nights theme, but it doesn't alwways look as nice next to a white water or funhouse I have.

An absolutely gorgeous pin. Every aspect of this game is timeless. Game plays amazing, has a great rule set and yet it still is hard to master.

Fun game, software sorta falls apart if you can play a long game of it.

one of the most beautiful machines in the world. Plenty of nice shots, holes, ramps and magnet toys. A true gem - I love it

One of the most enjoyable pins I've played on location. Great art and sound. It was a little easy to rescue the princess, but the entire experience is a lot of fun.

One of the best if not the best.

Great Game! The Theme is fantastic, well used, the genie, lamp and ramps are really nice. It's not too hard, should please players of any skills. It makes you want to play again!

Owned this pin for many years. Tons of fun.

I love this game. The first pin that I really remembered the title and wanted to keep playing over and over. The sounds, gameplay, playfield art are perfect IMO. My only real negative on this machine is that I find it to be a little on the easy side, but incredibly fun. I don't know if it could be improved. This is on my must own one day list (or it will be anyway)

A really great pinball. the fact to be able to move on the sequence with rotating the lamp make the game much too easy. It will be better with 2.0.

I got this game recently and I really enjoy it. Read my ratings - I seem to really enjoy every game I buy. Maybe I am easily pleased, or maybe most pinball is enjoyable to me. I am still learning the rules on TOTAN and am figuring out what did I just do that caused that. I think this will be a keeper in our collection.

I would love to have one! This is a great game and lots of fun to play over and over. Sounds are awesome. Love the final scoring tally at the end of ball play.
