Bryan if you have some specifics you think we can improve on please let me know. Much more to come very soon.

Apparently your game is running down hobos. Pls fix.

I guess we can try to include a breathalyzer in the next code revision? . Maybe we can also make the bill acceptor a bill dispenser but I don't think the ops will appreciate that?

Any game that makes me want to hit the "start" button over and over again..

That's my definition of a great game.

WOZ does that.

The Bryan Kelly seal of approval, YES!

Now will you please get to work and make us some Ruby Red Pinfooties... These standard wood things are just not getting it.

I guess no one in Minnesota or Wisconsin will ever be able to play again

Uh Fulltilt, do you love your Woz so much that you don't even take time out to go to the restroom.......or is that a dead guy on the floor in front of Woz JK

Congrats on Woz in house...

Thanks for the write-up. When I saw early whitewood photos, I was lukewarm on the pop-bumper-in-the-outlane. It was like, "great, I lose my ball and watch helplessly as it bounces around in the jet bumper, and I rely on sheer luck to get my ball back". Now, having heard a lot about this "game within the game" I'm actually looking forward to it!

Land of 10,000 treatment centers.

I felt the same way. After playing it I really enjoy the mode but it is a lot of shots compared to the TOTO rescue and seems a bit unbalanced because of it.

You spoke with Keefer on the ride home? Ill assume you don't mean JB

Yeah, it's that good of a game! That's actually the shadow of my big head in the light.

There will be differences between the two though. Just not yet. They both are a ball save but nplh will have a bigger reward for completion not just get your ball back.

Does it currently score anything or just save the ball?

It scores the standard switch scores but nothing more now.

I've never seen a reddish/orange shadow before..... Sure it has no relation to hobo's

Nice WOZ

Yeah, I agree, that left drain is really unique! Otherwise personally the game is not for me and a lot of guys I chatted with offline say its definitely not a keeper. Once the 'wow factor' wears off... GAME OVER.

Bryan your SOL if they ad a breathalyzer!!! LOL

Played it at Gamewarp and I think it blows away the competition. The theme is timeless, the build is fantastic, light show awesome, like the topper and that crystal ball......hell, I liked everything about it. Only new machine I would even consider at that price point, except maybe AC/DC LE. I usually don't comment on machines that I have not owned, but I was that impressed. Way to go JJP.

Gah, all this talk about WOZ! Can't wait for mine to come. But waiting happily

looking forward to playing the new code sometime soon!

BK just wants some code added for an aftermarket cheese pump...

no reason why you can't rate it a '10' now is there?

Completely disagree. A lot of people I talk to really enjoy the game and nearly all feedback from owners and people who have played it on location are positive. At this years Michigan Pinball Expo there were 3 WOZ's and each one had a huge line on it throughout the event, I never saw lines like that for a pin let alone 3. The game has a ton of toys, the LCD, stereo sound and an already deep ruleset that isn't even complete...if WOZ isn't a keeper what is?

Well simply because he has moved on to the hobbit. Figure if you wanted to make any changes to woz then Keith is the man.

For teekee? Nothing if he could make a buck on it .

I was playing one last month and the pop bumper shot the ball back up the lane and it hit a post and went right back down. If I was ready for it I could have saved that ball. It was very cool.

Can't even get them so how can you make a buck on it?

There's a lot of mixed reviews out there regarding WoZ believe me! Some will love it and some will hate it. Some already love it and some already hate it, new code will help it to some degree but some already believe code can't help it enough... What will happen after the 'WOW factor' wears off, that will be the question.

Makes sense. Joe is awesome. Got to meet him about 4 months ago at the JJP offices in nj.

I think its unsurprising folks that have waited 2.5 years are happy with the game.... else they would not have waited, traded away their spots, etc.

There really aren't that may Production WoZ's in the wild yet... I think it will be a while until more balanced feedback comes back.... not meant to be a dig, but I think its safe to say home owners (of most pins, but WoZ in particular) had their minds made up before they unboxed them that they loved it. Ex: Is anyone REALLY wondering what Icemans review will look like?

BTW- many folks here likely had their minds made up they DIDNT like it too (ruby flipper syndrome)... just saying until a LOT more get into the field, its too soon to plan the funeral or the canonization party....

I, for one, am still trying to find a non-proto WoZ to play...... I've failed to find one up and down much of the east coast! Im sure that will change eventually...

Who hates it? I find it impossible to hate any pinball machine.

TeeKee the same could be said for any pinball machine ever made.

Agreed^ I would say dislike vs hate

After the "wow" factor wears off I personally believe the game will stand with the likes of MM, Attack from Mars, The Addams Family and LOTR. The game just has so much going for it. I own TZ and even WOZ seems to have more toys then that game and stands out more. With Ted and Keith working on the code I just don't see this game getting old or there not being enough to do. 1.14 is already showing signs of a deep ruleset and the code isnt even finished.

Not really... I think this is different because it has that WOW factor that the average pinball machine doesn't have today. The WOW factor is driving WoZ right now... what will happen when that dies off?

Yes, unfortunately there is hate in the land of OZ...

Lets wait until we have 100 plus games on it until we compare to TAF and TZ. I have close to 100 games on WOZ and would not trade my TAF or TZ for it. I think it has the makings of being an A title but to rate it as the best of the best at this point is not doing it any justice. This seems wrong but I get the same feeling on WOZ as I did with SWEP1. Fun but starting to loose its new factor. Im excited about a new company but like to just keep it real. I know some will like it and some won't. I'm in the middle right now. I just don't like the reveiws I played it once and its the best eva.... It took me a long time to like TZ, a long time to figure out IJ4 is not so good. Time will tell for the masses.

If the game is fun it will always be popular. The "wow" factor of WOZ may never wear off as what other pin has an LCD, another on the playfield, 5 magnets, two mini playfields, multiple complex toys, a 7 speaker 2.1 stereo audio package, included topper, clear coated screen printed cabinet and code done by Keith and Ted? This game is golden. As you can tell I'm really excited for my game to arrive, haha.

Ok, great! But it sounds like your trying to convince yourself of this... otherwise you have nothing to worry about.

All those things MIGHT be true....

but don't you think it might be prudent to wait till you've actually GOT the game (and push the start button at least once) before you ensconce it as one of the best of all time?

Lol, I hear ya. I'm really excited about WOZ as you can tell. I have had a chance to play a prototype several times and in the past two weeks have played about 15 games on a production model. The game is already great in my mind to stand with some other top games. Whats surpsing is that the game is already a blast to play and code isn't even complete.

I was able to play WoZ yesterday at Morts also. Now, let me preface this by saying, I am a pinball fan and am not a fan boy of any manufacturer. You can tell by looking at my collection on Pinside. I am an early pre order of WoZ and have not gotten my game yet.

The first time I got to play WoZ was in Jersey at Jacks open house last February. I left Jersey thinking... Nice game, built well, but I honestly wasn't all that excited to put another game on it anytime soon. I've read most of the WoZ related posts here an there and, as of late, have been pretty down on the whole JJP thing.

That was until I played WoZ yesterday. The code so far has been integrated nicely. The play is totally different that the first one I played. Much more flow to the game at times, and just seemed to have more zip. I still can't put my finger on it, but it gave me that "one more game feeling"! I left (after playing for about 5 hours) looking forward to going back to get another game in.

And a side from just a couple small hiccups yesterday, the game played flawlessly. I'm happy to have the excitement back of getting my game. Some damn nice work, team JJP.

Oh, and yes, the homeless guy getting hit (but NOT HURT) was priceless. Especially when they were tugging on his jacket trying to remove it from under the front tire of the semi truck. I'm thinking it might have been him that dropped the "poop bomb" in the bathroom next to WoZ. Good lord that was bad.
