Old Coney Island is a very basic game and is based on a mirror-image of sharpshooter. Some of the shots were adjusted to fit the traditional playfield layout and the lower pops were omitted. The similarities are very obvious and Old Coney Island does a good job at being a fast, simple machine. I’m glad to have it in my collection.

Average game for 1979, definitely just as good as other manufactures with similar themes. If well maintained, plays pretty fast for early solid state. Happy to be in my collection.

Nice early SS from Gameplan, playfield designed by Roger Sharp I believe. Good layout, keeps your interest. The cabinet design and artwork is attractive. Nice backglass though a little corny. Not a fan of Jimmy Walker or clowns.

Old Coney Island just doesn't play that well. I went to a collection where it was sitting next to Andromeda and there were many similarities between the designs, but the gameplay was night and day with OCI on the losing end. I will say that this is the only OCI that I have played, but so far... I am not impressed.

The Pros:
Good layout with tough shots on the left hand side of the PF.

The Cons:
Who puts their family album on the BG with Jimmy Walker? Play action is slower than Andromeda and the rules are not so hot with the saucer making bonus X a cakewalk. Scary clown in the pop bumpers.

The Takeaway:
Get OCI's big sister Andromeda and don't look back.
