Nice swirly hippy game. Colors fit well with the game, so the best thing is the artwork.

Lots of them out there, but just not the game for me. I enjoy EMs, but this one didn't thrill me.

Honey is a bit of a sleeper. At a glance you don't assume it's too engaging but it turns out to be a fun and challenging pin. It can be picked up for relatively cheap so it provides good bang for your buck.

This one was pretty popular in the flower power era. Main reason for it's popularity could have been the easiness of the game. Center post and outlane gate against drains. Add to that an easy to get extra ball. The modern "advanced" 3" flippers gave the opportunity for precise shooting and there is a big 10000 pts goal to go for. Happy Hippie Honey :-)

Pros: Bumpers. What else? Lots of action there, allowing you to score many points. Too many points...
Cons: First and foremost, the infamous location of the Post down rollover... PF artwork is meh with colors that do not match well.

Honey is a dog. Read the story at the end of this review and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

The Pros:
Lots of action in the pops and the drop target to the saucer requires a bit of skill. Gentle tap passes from the flippers to get the right angle to shoot the center shot make a big difference. The bells are cool. The color palette of this game is very different

The Cons:
How many times can you rinse and repeat before you fall asleep. This pinball game might as well have been titled "Barbie".

The Takeaway:
Practice your skills if you want to, but there are soooooo many games from this era to choose from that have much more replayability to them than this game does. A very simple game for the kiddies.

The funny thing for me is that where I grew up, we had neighbors who had a dog named "honey: and this mutt was STUPID. This dog would run down cars in the street and when the vehicle came to a stop at the stop sign... honey would run full speed into the back bumper of the car. Screech, thud, yelp, whimper... This would happen over and over, daily. Screech, thud, yelp, whimper... The description of that dog would fit perfectly with the description of this game.

Update:
I got to play a really nice version of this game that was high tapped and clear coated. This guy REALLY liked his Honey. it was blindingly fast and I had fun. As before, I'm not to hot about the rules or the placement of the "downpost" rollover 3 inches above the flippers, but I will say that when this game is properly maintained, it's an action filled pin-flipper-fingers-twitch-fest. Still not a great game, but it is much more fun than I originally gave it credit for. Scores updated accordingly.
