It's a fun piece of art that works as a table but it can wear out on you. You won't sit and play it for long but it's a fun one to just compete with a friend. The rules are very simple and printed right on the game. It holds up and stays clean really well. New rubber really changes the gameplay and make it a fast game. The shots can be harder than they look and getting the special is work and luck. It's a high score game and there's a 2P mode.
The PSU is easy to switch to a switching power supply if you have a bad one in it. The game is lit well so you can play even in a dark room. The fuses are in an easy to see spot and indicators show you any burned out. There's a volume pot for the chimes but the installed one does not work very well. It dulls the sound but at lower volumes it entirely turns off the chimes. The game legs can be adjusted for seated or standing height.
I don't suggest owning one of these unless you want to work on a machine yourself. This is not easy to fix and you will need to know soldering. The chips don't exist anymore but you can get updated mods.

This was my first pinball machine I got for cheap. I knew nothing about repairs beyond replacing a fuse because too much flipper use would burn one out over and over again. If I was smarter, I would have looked how to fix that and not have that problem. And had I known how rare these are, I wouldn't have gotten rid of it. It's nothing splashy or crazy. Just a simple layout with basic shots of knocking down the targets to rack up points. It was fun and it makes me want to own another cocktail machine someday. Perfect for someone with minimal space. It took the place of a dining table in my little studio apartment!

its basically an EM run with a PCB. As far as artwork goes, you really cant get a more esoteric theme than "Greek pottery". its the only game i have with chimes, and its quite a fun one.. more fun than other full size EMs ive had. The other reviews explain the rules well. Only thing that was not immediately apparent, the legs have 2 positions..a table height and a bar height. I did not know this until seeing a Take 5 at bar height. there are 2 carriage bolts per leg that when disassembled allow you to slide the legs to another height. FYI!

This is a fun little game, makes a great change of pace from a full size pin. It is small so not a lot going on on the playfield but they managed do set it up to play very well in the space they have. Funnest part of the game is to try and get the multiplier by getting the for drop targets 2 of them are kind of a tough shot but half of the other targets on the playfield make the drop targets come back up so you have to have decent shot control to get all 4 down at the same time. it is the perfect game when your running low on space but are dying to add another pin and it doubles as a table so its easy to convince the wife that its a needed addition to any game room.
