I was gonna post photos but turns out they look like crap.
It was ok. I played 2 games. All I seemed to do was try to aim for ramps. I know this isn't much different than a lot of pinball games, but I dunno. Maybe since there's so much stuff all over this game, I felt cheated that I didn't get to activate any of it. On the other hand, maybe for home-use this is a good thing, unlike Sterns where sometimes you hit whatever and seem to trigger every available mode without trying.
They said the software was unfinished.
There's a side-flipper that's a dark color and isn't noticeable. IMO flippers should stand out.
There's a spot in the upper lower right where a flying monkey takes the ball up to the castle in the upper left. Thought that was neat.
Machine looks alright. Didn't notice the video screen much.
That's about all I can say. I'm not an expert on pin flow.

Where I live, I'm guessing I'll never be able to play this. However, there are only two pinball manufacturers left....I hope they survive to make sumthing original that I want to play.
Nephasth:
Played this at the RMPS last weekend. Even though I despised the theme when this was first announced and was a doubter of JJP, seeing this machine in person and playing it completely turned around my opinion of the game. The build quality is TOP NOTCH. Sterns look and feel like children's toys compared to this. WOZ is the only pin I've come across that is as much fun to watch as it is to play. I'm so impressed with JJP that I'm probably going to end up preordering The Hobbit. If you ever get a chance to play this machine, don't pass it up! :cheers:
ChadTower:
There is one on location at the arcade where my son and I compete in league. I agree with Nephasth about the build quality. It feels very well built. The control of the lights, with everything being gradient control of RGB LEDs, is awesome. There's still a ton of holes in it because the software is far from complete but the platform has serious potential.
The crystal ball really disappointed me. The video image, at least as of now, is a big honking square inside the ball. And only the player can see it. There is zero viewing angle for onlookers.
