Today at Pintastic I got to play a great selection of EMs. I'm not much of an EM player, its hard to find a game that has the balance and scoring that make the 'one more game' feeling happen.

Then I played Gottlieb's Bowling Queen. Holy crap, I'm in love. So many things I could say about this game. The backglass bowling balls that give you a real tangible 'progress' meter. The narrow slings are really cool, as is the mini flippers with the wide gap and the center post. The 'window' in the apron to see how many balls you've played. So many cool things about this game. As if my addiction to pinball isn't bad enough, now I am looking longingly at EMs!

The push up ball feed is a plus in my book. And yeah, the bowling art is pretty sweet. I didn't understand the dead score reel first digit. Why have the spot for the thousands if there's no reel for it?

BTW I am not Kevin, and did not buy the game. Glad it went to a good home. Glad I got to play it.

No worries. I saw your pinside tag on the game. Half wanted to call you and see what you wanted. But I'm pretty sure my wife would divorce me if I got another game given we have no space for any more!
