The Genesis of Genesis
We just had this Genesis pinball machine come through the shop. This is an interesting game we’d never seen before, and it’s made a lot better by a couple of much-needed mods. Check it out!

Gottlieb came out with Genesis in 1986, and produced around 3,500 machines. (IPDB)

The machine has a science-fiction theme, with a “Regenerator” that holds the “Lifeforce” that unveils a robot under the playfield.

The original machine was partly inspired by the 1927 German film “Metropolis,” according to IPDB. This machine plays on that with an after-market translite that’s a big improvement from the original.
