A
wide-body classic...
GENIE!
1979 Gottlieb
Rub the lamp and get ready for the Gottlieb classic...
GENIE!
This game was produced in 1979 by Gottlieb, creator of the most popular 70's pinball machines on the planet!
Genie was incredibly popular when new due to the classic Gottlieb
drop target style gameplay and also because it was Gottlieb's very first
WIDEBODY game. This allowed the playfield to be packed with more
features than any other game of the same period. Genie also boasts
Gottlieb's introduction of the multi-mode sound board, which replaced the
earlier "tone board" and allowed for advanced music and sound
effects. Many pinball enthusiasts agree that Genie has some of the very
best classic pinball artwork displayed on any machine. The artwork
created by Gordon Morrison makes it one of the most beautiful games ever
created, so it's a delight to look at... even when you're not playing it. This machine
appeals to players of all ages due to it's simple to understand rule-set and challenging gameplay.
You'll love the "futuristic" digital sound that was considered
state-of-the-art at the time the game was created. This game has all of the classic features that made Gottlieb great.
Everyone's favorite feature on classic-era pinball machines is the drop-target and this
game has loads of them! Being a WIDEBODY game, the playfield has plenty
of extra space and features a separate miniature playfield area with a huge
bank of drop targets and it's own set of mini-flippers. It's like having
a game within a game! Complete the top targets for EXTRA BALLS and SPECIALS!
Complete the center target bank for big bonus points and to increase the bonus
multiplier! Pump up your bonus score and shoot for the top right saucer
and collect the mega-bonus! The lower playfield area also features THREE
flippers, making a total of FIVE FLIPPERS on the game! From the banks of drop targets, to the stationary
targets and kickout hole, to the pop bumpers and slingshot kickers, to the rollovers and
center SPINNER, this playfield has a fast playing and well thought out design that will keep you entertained and challenged for
hours at a time. Most players agree that Gottlieb made the best playing single-level playfield designs and this game is timeless. This classic
theme looks great in any home gameroom!
This is a simply BEAUTIFUL game! It's getting increasingly difficult to
find 70's games that are worth restoring, but this one is a gem. The playfield is in excellent condition
and the original factory clearcoat shines

very few imperfections. The playfield has been torn apart, detailed and rebuilt with loads
of brand new parts like lane guides, chrome post caps, flippers and
