I had the opportunity to play this at the Pinball Hall of Fame. I didn't know it was so popular. I took a photo of this machine, because I really liked it after playing a few games and wanted to remember it. Only to find out others love it as much as I do.

Genie is one of those machines you come across by accident, and fall in love with after a few plays. The extra wide playfield is a lot of fun, the ball travel is slower than in most games, but it's a good speed. The playfield artwork and backglass are great pieces of artwork. A fun machine that's also very beautiful.

This machine is more pretty than fun. The backglass is the most impressive visual part of the machine. The game play is ok, it has two gates that open to keep the the outlanes from draining, one with a kickback, and the other returning the ball to the shooter lane. The playfield is kind of generic, as are the plastics. The 10 drop targets make up the majority of the game. Gordon Morison artwork is what makes this machine shine.

This is a unique machine, the playfield is concave with bowls. It's worth playing a few times because of this. But it's actually kind of hard to make any decent shots. I like that they tried to do something different. The spinners that make the ball orbit around the playfield are a neat touch. It just doesn't seem very deep, and doesn't have lastability.

It's a fun machine, it's footprint is much smaller than most, and that makes it unique. It's a quirky machine with some good gameplay. Wouldn't mind having one.

Finally able to play this one, the theme is great. It has some great toys & gimmicks. The full RGB LED's are great, the fact the whole table can change color I really like. I only have a few complaints about it, the right and left drains happen way too much, and those are designed for pro-players like the Oz balloon bumper field. Sure it's a enthusiast machine I get it. I also not a fan of the single point scoring, just doesn't feel as rewarding, you would think that it would be an option to change in the machines setup. But over all it's a beautiful machine, and happy to see another maker of pinball come about.

What can I say that hasn't already been said, Great machine. I kind of wish it wasn't so popular. So I could afford one.

One of my favorites, one of the last great machines before DMD were introduced. This is just a very good classic, well designed Pinball machine. The music and speech are great, and that's one of the things that I really enjoy about it. It's a feel good machine. I will say it doesn't have a very deep rule set, and for some players that may be an issue. So the lastability might not be there for some. I think of it as a good intro machine for those who are new to pinball.

Finally had a chance to play this at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. I was really excited to see it in person. But after the initial games, I was a little bit disappointed. It is fun trying to get to the top, but once you've done that a few times, it doesn't feel like there is much more to do. That seems to be your only goal. It did have some fun DMD games. But for something that is this unique it's just not that much fun after awhile. It would of been interesting to see what could of been with additional themes. I do appreciate that it's different and unique. But it also needs to be fun, and it just doesn't/didn't captivate me.

One of my favorites that I come back and play. Just a great exciting game. Also more forgiving that some pins I've played. A game that is challenging in many ways, but also not ruthless in taking your ball away. The only thing I don't like is the launcher/plunger, and the skill shot is performed by the flipper instead of the plunger.
