From reading the opinions expressed here and elsewhere, I wanted to understand why the Gottlieb DRAGON EM had such a bad reputation.../... the continuation is in French, use Google translate or DeepL !

Wow, that's a pretty rare EM, IPDB states only 508 made.

Is it also like the Cleopatra with 24VDC to the playfield solenoids?

Not sure if I'm a fan of the gameplay from the YouTube video.

Plastic spinners suck, EM or SS.

Unfortunate thing about all of the Gottlieb EM’s. A metal spinner in Sinbad would have been nice.

Didn’t think I would like it having no drop targets but I was wrong. The back glass is Game of Thrones decades before the series and IMO one of Gottlieb’s most beautiful. Most of these machines were exported to Malaysia I was lucky enough to find one in the states. It’s a keeper.

Yes, 25VDC like the Cleopatra !
