Like so many Pinabll machines two of the games you mentioned were marketed under
other names(I believe):
	1) Flip-Flop was also called(or very similar to) Wizard.
	2) Sinbad also went by something and as soon as I put this
	   down I got a mental block.

I also remeber seeing the game Cleopatra out as some other name, anyone know it.

Wish I had seen this discussion earlier as I have been an avid pinball adict
seen I first played one. Personally, I think in recent years I like Bally
Machines the best. Gottlieb's have never been that great in my opinion,
usually wide bodies and built like tanks, but there try at competing with
the likes of Bally seems to be a little less than promissing. There multiball
games(i.e. Haunted House,Black Hole) can't comparing to the likes of Bally's.
Have any of you ever played the Hulk by Gottlieb??

Wasn't it Gottlieb who came out with the video/pinball game Caveman??
Interesting game, but relies to much on the video part.

Not to be to hard on G's machines I do like and have played, Scorpion and
Countdown. I am sure there are others to but they do not come right to mind.

Well I just thought I would jump into this before it died out. BTW does
anyone know of a good place to play pinball(perferably a bar(no rugrats(young
kids))) in the Northglenn area. I just moved to Colorado recently and am
having troubles finding one.
