Nice 🎉 Haven’t seen a new video in a while. Hope to see more of these in 2024. No one does it better than Bowen.

[@P-Drum]

WOW ! That Robot sequence had me on the edge of my seat !!

[@jonleboeuf984]

Bowen is BACK! What better way to start 2024!!! Thanks for making my day, Bowen!!!

[@ashharvey8324]

Great to see you back doing these Bowen. Watching your tutorials was huge help for me a few years ago. I hope you continue on with this. Make it a full on thing. Every pin players loves these.

[@vision821k4]

True. I used to wreck on pinball arcade bc of this guy. I suck at real pinball though :( this guy is amazing though. damn.

[@5ushiBoy]

I thought PAPA died with deeproot pinball. Glad to see papa posting again.

[@slowbar1]

Bowen makes it look so easy! I've played that exact copy of Genesis and those ramps are evil when you are a mere mortal.

[@MattTheSpratt]

The alt backglass of that table absolutely PUNKS the original translite!!

[@KarlLind]

Great game, absolutely amazing sound design and music and one of the best pinball magic moments ever.

[@Nightenstaff]

Genesis is a simple machine, but a fun one for sure. Nothing overly complicated and those big ole ramps can be a challenge to complete. Great machine for its era and a fun one still today.

[@masculineguy37]

I always was more of a Bally and Williams player but this one i played a lot in my favorite arcade. Love the collecting stuff and used a lot of flipper techniques like the alley pass in this game. A fairly simple but exciting game. Thanx for posting!

[@brianhalverson2628]

Great machine! Happy to have a new video!!🤩

[@jtruant]

Wake up babe new Bowen video just dropped

[@willierants5880]

Loved it, thank you PAPApinball and Bowen. I hope you revisit a lot of the older videos where the quality is pretty Meh and there are not tutorials. Lots to choose from there.

When you complete a body part it randomly lights a ramp to start mulitball, sometimes you are lucky that if you complete legs or arms that will be the ramp it lights for multiball and will start the multiball. If you complete two body parts without starting the multiball it will light both ramps for multiball. If you shoot the vari target you get one letter in the body part that is most completed if you have a few that are the same level you get a letter in all that are the same completion level. If you go over an inlane roll over it will light the vari target for a short period and shooting it will give you a letter in all body parts. If you shoot the drops in order 1, 2, 3 it will give you a letter in all body parts. You only get an increased multiplier for a completed body part that is needed to build the robot. So if you complete arms twice without completing the robot it doesn't give you another PF multiplier for the second arms. So you have to actually complete the robot to increase your multipliers past 4x or 8x in the case of multiball. I have had a Gensis for years, restored and clear coated the pf on it, NOS plastics, and translight. I have made my own replacement PF windows and also make and sell them sometimes on pinside. I know the old gottliebs get a lot of hate but this will probably be the last pin I would ever sell. I think I have a gameplay video of my genesis on my youtube channel somewhere.

[@dasbacon]

more videos from this spot! great production and awesome game. thanks bowen.

[@corycain7825]

Happy new year y'all! Best tutorials in pinball have returned, thank you Bowen!

[@gamedisciple]

I cannot say how happy I am to see you guys back!!!

[@jimmynails8376]

Thanks Bowen and team!!!! All time game

[@lifewater989]

This game is so old all the people on the horrible backglass are dead. But man is that robot doll exciting! How about Monte Carlo next? The other 80's John Trudeau obscure masterpiece with dead people on the backglass. Thanks for the tutorial Bowen!

[@ehyouman]

Nice to see you back, thanks for all your continued help!

[@OTTOgraphd]

Great tutorial and awesome gameplay as usual, thanks Bowen. MOAR!

[@zionengine]

Nice how this game shares some music with "Hollywood Heat".

[@monolyth421]

Welcome back Bowen!

[@kluless5595]

Gorgeous table from the good old days before i was born/bone.

[@darkwing7780]

Love how high that multiplier goes, was playing around with it one day thinking it would cap at like 32x and it did not...

[@HAUB]

Great music, great sound and light!

[@bencanfield]

The five clacks seems like it’s meant to mimic old EM machines - funny that they included it here

[@Bloody1234]

Glad to see you back.

[@TiltingT]

So happy to see these videos back!

[@benlogan4038]

There he is!

[@petersutherland8694]

Pleased you’re back 👍🏻

[@SouthernMenace]

Glad to see these again =)

[@Wheelcranker]

Love me some Genesis. Bring on the original translite though!

[@th-os8736]

Happy new year man ! So happy

[@DaveTheTrain]

You qualify a multiball every time you complete a body part. But if youre in a multiball when you complete one you won't get another immediately after. Plus multiball doubles whatever playfield multiplier you currently have.

[@YootubeUK]

I always love your tutorials Bowen! Those flippers look a little underpowered? It looks a little tough to make it to the top of the ramps?

[@george-underwood]

He’s back!

[@DrBagPhD]

This is cool but where does my Sonic the Hedgehog game cart go? :p Excellent tutorial as always, thank you!

[@paulguk]

This game is NOTHING without the original translite. One of the best in pinball history

[@pssstttchhh]

The custom translite my friend made me smokes every genesis translite combined including the original and its cheese factor

[@IanJacobyandcompany]

Heck yeah, bowen back in the saddle.

[@IanJacobyandcompany]

As we all know, the human body is divided into three parts: brain, body, and legs.

[@andresbravo2003]

Oh god, it’s Genesis of Metropolis again?

[@thezombiebiker]

More please!

[@jagababa]

cool music

[@S.J.C._Entertainment]

Do a Brunswick Aspen tutorial please that ruleset is brutal 🙏

[@bencollins9663]

Thanks.

[@user82938]

Those half ramps are so harsh. Wish the flippers were stronger on these.

[@franekcernelc3346]

My Genesis has only one lit ramp and switching by slings or pops. I guess you can adjust it with switches on a circuit board. I tried some settings but not all. Inlane pass never drains on my game. I try to shoot vari-target as much as I can. If not, I miss it when needed to open the robot

[@killerczar]

Good game

[@crawlingamongthestars3736]

Haha, the Metropolis robot obviously influenced this game. Copyright infringement? Lol.

[@senseforsale]

I was expecting more Phil Collins.

[@th-os8736]

Please James Bond

[@jinpayne]

Or Godzilla

[@StimpyThe1]

Great tutorial as always! I noticed they changed the (hideous) backglass on this game… understandably. The original one is awful.
