Hey all. Just bought the "Gottlieb" version of the game for the Wii. It's awesome! It has a picture tour of the old factory and history about each game in it. Has Ace High, Central Park, Big Shot, Genie, Black Hole, El Dorado (city of gold), Victory, Teed Off, and a Strikes and Spares bowling game. It also has an early gambling Playboy machine (flipperless). Kind of gives you an idea of how and why machines got banned as well. Players would win so many free games on the Ace High game from 1957 that they would sell their credits back to the vendor. And apparently the El Dorado machine is the same table as Canada Dry. Black Hole was the first machines to introduce 50 cents per play (what??? I gotta put in another quarter?? that's the machine that made you start saying that!!!!!!) and was a big money maker apparently. Lots more cool facts as well. Its better then the virtual pinball and the future pinball simulators that you can download on the internet. (for REAL machines anyways)
The Williams version has Jive Time, Gorgar, Sorcerer, Black Knight, Space Shuttle, Pinbot, Taxi, Whirlwind and Funhouse. Its really good too. You don't just play the tables, you have to get certain 'goals' on each to unlock free plays and other options. There is a tournament selection as well.
You can get them at walmart for like 10 bucks so if you have a Wii, Xbox, or PS3. I would definately recommend them to try out a machine that you haven't played. I have a Williams Taxi machine and I can play the video game version of it with almost as much interest. I have played Funhouse lots before, but with the price of those machines now the video game version is the only one I will be able to play for quite aWHile now!
