That thing still cracks me up.

I see what you did there!
I would say Flying Aces, or Demolition Derby home model. Or Pachinko. Not because they don't have their own intrinsic value. I know many kids probably had hours of fun in the 70s because of them. It just seems when scouring craigslist and I come upon a pinball ad for $250 or less. I am hoping for a cheap em project but 95% of the time when I click on it's one of these. Doh!

hard body, seriously who the hell is buying a game with a theme like that? What location wanted a pin looking like that in it's establishment unless they are a female gym or a fetish shop? It's dumb because if they threw any other half assed theme onto it in that era it would have fulfilled it's goal of being "generic plain pin #432" which is what they were pumping out at the time. Genisis can go in this bucket too of generic plain pins that had a stupidly bad theme thrown on them.

Agreed!

Agreed! I have always thought the same thing about those two pins...Some may disagree but I would lump the "Raven" theme in that category...

I agree about Big Ben, ugly to look at and ugly to play.
I have a soft spot for Skylab, as it was one of the pins
that i played in high school at the
arcade/candy/newstand/comic shop, that i frequnted,
also i like the artwork and look of Skylab, (purple is my fav color).

I agree, the theme is horrible, but the game is quite fun.
Quoted from ebjimmyg:orbitor
Agreed... The game is pointless.
Hahaha, yeah Pat Hand is a bummer. Agreed.
I actually really like Hardbody and Genesis (which is based on Metropolis from 1927, right?), so flame away...I think those are cool themes and fun to play.
How come no one is mentioning Gold Ball? What a pile!

Not saying they Aren't fun I mean the backglass is so ugly it ruins it

I respectfully disagree, it's okay to have differing taste. Encouraged, even.
