I was going to wait until I'd played it more to rate this game, but since I just sold mine it is unlikely that I'll be playing it much for a while. JM is a great game with a horrible theme that keeps the price down... not such a bad thing if you're on a budget. The flow is incredible until you hit the glove, which is a bit tedious in my opinion. This pin is supposedly very deep as well, but unfortunately I didn't get very far.

Johnny's a fun game. Great bang for your buck machine. Has a great wizard mode, and I think it's really cool the more power items you collect the more time Power Down last (the wizard mode). I love the glove. Once you replace the X and Y nuts it should work great. The video mode on the other hand SUCKS! Might be my least favorite in pinball. The cabinet... Well just plain sucks, and the translight is not much better. The playfield art is well unique. I actually really like some of the goofy sounds, such as "double cheese, anchovies!", "beer opener!", "Pinball is dangerous!", and "don't be a zombie play pinball!" The video frames are also another cool touch. My main gripe is the scoring on this machine. It's all about the damn spinner millions. I had games where I got to Powerdown, but screwed the ball that had the spinner millions going, and I didn't even sniff my high scores. Opposite of that, I had games that I was no where near Powerdown and they are my personal high scores. That really kinda annoys me, and is one of the reason I sold mine.

A very fast more'ish title, music is cool, lighting is cool, ramps are nice, hand is the main feature on the playfield which slows the game but also adds something. Like the theme which is different to everything else in my collection, like the dots and PF layout. This is quite a rare machine with a low production run but is a worthy addition to any collection, get one while you can.

Excellent pin, bogged down only by it's theme. Probably the fastest pinball machine ever made and definitely has the best flow of any pin I've ever played. The Glove shot is a great way (the ONLY way) to slow things down a bit and take a breather. Lots of multiball modes and the BEST wizard mode ever. Super pin for the price.

I love the playfield layout on this one. SUPER fast, crazy flow, killer wizard mode, cool glove toy are the good. What makes me hate this game? Video mode---it just sucks, and hard. It's hideous, its hard to control, it's too long, and being a random award (ha! award!), you can't avoid it or skip it. The videomode just always sucks me right out of the otherwise fantastic game play. Also, points are deducted because the glove is really cool, but almost never works, and the center shot becomes a drain monster without the glove. With a working glove and some luck (no videomode misfortune), this game is a-list material. Come to think of it, there's a lot of negative, but the pure gameplay is second to none. Play this pin!!!

This game is fast and can be punishing. But, if you have a good game going on it, it is really fun. THe glove is one of the best interactive toys in any game I have played. DOesn't neccesarily add a lot to the gameplay and does break up the play when activated, but still cool. The theme isn't great and some of the voice calls can get old, but this is one I play everytime I see it (which is not often enough).

Fun, fast pin. The main toy (glove) is somewhat of a double edged sword- It's cool at first when it grabs the magnet, it's original, and it gives the player a nice break from the fast gameplay. On the other hand, there really is no skill to dropping the ball in the correct keypad slot, so it becomes old quickly. Overall, a great game with excellent flow.

Overall a very fun pin making it a great value. It is lightning fast. A fan layout with some fun shots.
The glove takes a bit too long but I can see why some like that feature.

This machine is fast and good. As everybody has probably noted, a lot of shots trigger stuff on the upper playfield, including a hand that reaches out and catches the ball with a magnet. The rules on this pin are fairly deep for a Williams. This isn't a perfect game. But, lower playfield action is top notch.

Just spend an hour with Johnny and I was quite impressed! Don't really now why its so low on charts (ok beside cabinet artwork and backglass)? I really liked the sounds and the cyber-punk theme! Speed is also mindblowing and the dot-animations are great! Its next on my shoping list!

Try the video-mode.
The '3D-Pac-Man' is really unique.
May girlfriend never got the hang of it.
