8/26/2023 0 Comments Playboy 35th anniversary pinball![]() ![]() It is a backglass where less would have been more.įor Data East gameplay, it is better than Hook and maybe even better than LW3. The playfield art is just ok and I find the backglass with creepy Hef just "eh" It makes Laser War look good. I know you are working with a Playboy theme and that is a shallow pool indeed but the overall game sound package is a rare misfire for Data East. Some of the sound effects are lackluster like the spinner. The bad- The center standups don't seem to be worth the risk shooting at. Sweeping the drops is a satisfying achievement which the game even recognizes. The light show with LED inserts and flashers is very entertaining. The classic Pacman and Galaga video game noises the poppers make will tweak your nostalgia button. Making the jackpot ramp shot during multi-ball can be challenging. The double ramp shot is always a pleasure and if the champagne popper is set right will make the left ramp shot for you which is a satisfying way to start the 3 ball multi-ball. The game has a few "hurry up" timers that makes things interesting. This one is just poor and almost falls into the same league as games like Thunderbirds, Raven and Hercules. If you are going to play one of the playboy games, stick with the Bally or Stern one. That may be a low amount of mileage to form an opinion, but considering I was able to figure out the game that quickly, I would doubt my opinion would change in the end. Game has opposite effect that it should: I played it a couple more times only because no other games were open (I played this at an expo) but quickly stayed away from the game after the second or third game. Playfield design is still not that great, with little satisfaction. This was done much better in Banzai Run.īackglass art is just bad, not cheesy bad like on a game such as Torpedo Alley, just bad. Just lock 1, lock 2, left ramp, and then both ramps all day, making there no reason to go for anything else, though there really is little else.Ĭhampaign kick out is stupid, as it’s essentially a free left ramp shot. Playfield layout itself isn’t the worst I have seen. Playfield art is decent, and the cabinet art is tolerable. The model I played did have a weak left flipper, but all shots were makeable. Yikes, definitely the worst of the bunch by a long shot.
