I saw this pinball machine with my very own eyes and it is amazing. At least 20 people (men, women, young and old) were in line playing this game at the GameWarp Arcade Expo. I hope I see more of Wizard Of Oz Pinball in the Orlando area.
It's the charm of them I think. I'm actually a little wary of LCD screens, the can often make what would have otherwise great machines seem tacky (I'm talking about fruit machines rather than pinball). That said, I really want to get my hands on one of these machines for a play and see for myself!
I agree about knowing your local establishments that will be carrying this game. Being in Los Angeles, I usually have access to the new Stern games within 40 miles and then buy the ones I love). Look forward to playing this!
So great to see another company making pinball machines. This looks terrific, by the way - a modern classic. I would drive an hour to play this. Is it possible to put up a state-by-state database of locations? And by the way, don't diss Stern. Mr. Stern kept pinball alive in the 2,000's on. Long. live. pinball. And hats off to Jersey Jack.
Samuel, age 9, says "I like this game because it is so cool. It has a monitor on it, it has the Wizard of Oz picture on it, and I like the spinning house."
Jersey Jack Pinball, is doing today , which in the '90s, The Twilight Zone, made by the pinball industry... bring it fresh air, innovating and changing paradigms. Well done, JJ Pinball, keep it up, and never neglect the quality of materials and ideas. Do not follow the example of Stern Pinball , which have been declining in originality and use of materials (too much plastic), unfortunately.
The layout and design look great. The "clicking" of the flippers seems a little annoying, is this supposed to mimic the clicking of Dorothy's shoes? I would prefer silent flippers.
