One of the best integrations of art and game play. This machine draws you into another world, filled with magic, wizardry, ghouls and goblins. Quite the looker and fun to play, Abra is a solid addition to a row of classic EMs.

Can't get enough of this great machine...shame I can only play it in Vegas and Ann Arbor. Someone sell me one, please!

Perhaps my favorite EM, Centigrade 37 brings together cool Sci-Fi artwork, fast game play with some challenging shots that require good control, judicious nudging, and some run and gun aspects. Set on 3 ball play, it's tough to hit the sequenced shots, build the themometer, and then get that satisfying thunk into the special saucer hole for free credits. The chick brewing in the glass tube represents the heart and soul of the game...equally fun, satisfying, and frustrating, just like a woman :)

The whole experience...this game does not pretend to be anything it's not. What you get is an accurate representation of the theme with fun, campy graphics and call outs, smooth/fast gameplay that is easily understood for beginning players, and enough toys and animations to fullfill expectations.

Some feel that the depth of rules restricts the overall value, but for those who want to play pinball with no expectation other than smiles, Elvira will not dissapoint.
