Yes, everything old is new again.

That look is amazing and so different.

Yes it is beautiful.  Pinball machines are like your children.  They are ALL beautiful, but all very different appealing personalities.

No pinball owner will speak bad of their own pinball machines!  And nor should they.

...Just don't mention Rolling Stones.  "They are dead to me".

different and unique. Something we don't expect for a game made in 2015.

Now, now. You couldn't kill Keith with a falling coconut let alone a couple of juicy mellons.

Like this ^^^  Mind you it would have been a gr8 way for Keith to go out - how's he going to outdo the coconut? He's a true legend. Love the aged look on WNBJM - this is shaping up to be one hell of a machine.
I enjoy Porsche, Gibson LPs, Bally-Williams & learning about pinball maintenance & restoration.

  $#$  its heeeerrrrreeeee !!!!
This is as cool as you can get, TOTALLY RETRO goodness.
We were spoilt last nigh at Joes joint. My Nellie arrived and also KISS. But this is about Nellie.
Man this game is fun, Very unique with real wood( and smell it ) detachable head box, real knocker, no ramps, one ball, beautiful artwork and quirky funny theme and call outs.
This game HAS to be set up steep as it can be floaty if you don't and when it is set right - it frikin flies. Even air balls.
We set it up at KJWHF for all the Perth Monday crew to have a bash and have a mini comp, going well till the mini DMD had a little spat so now we are waiting on a new one to be sent via air. In saying this it still plays and will be delivered on Wednesday, will then set up on the crate which is cool too! So simple, get the top roll overs to light up the bumpers and star roll overs around the play field and claim the big points in the gobble hole. Sounds easy ha, yeah right.
I could go on and on about this game, but I won't as it won't suit everyones taste, but it sure fills me up with oldskool goodness. Thanks to Dennis and Greg for making this beauty, STERN for making her and Joe for getting it to us in WA.

If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

I could go on and on about this game,

Artwork- 10/10- lots of hidden fun which I have to figure out what it means, Real wood is beautifully distressed and crate is         
       sweet idea.
Sound- 9/10 -call outs are sweet, bellas and chimes sound real nice, real bells and chimes will be better
Gameplay- 10/10- so simple, so addictive, very tricky with 2" flippers and a new skill set to learn.
Longeveity- 9/10- I think it is a pearler, right up there with Surf Champ which I play a lot.
