Very unusual game that follows virtual no expectations in terms of design and artwork. The center horseshoe shot which feeds the catapult is fun and addictive to hit. The upper playfield is simple but cool to flip. The molded plastics are strangely endearing. The cabinet shape is unique and interesting. The backglass art is primitive and features a nude banana-yellow woman. The slings are a bizarre but functional mechanical design seen on no other machine. In a large collection this oddity is fun and engaging.

Metal Man is one of the more interesting and wacky pinball games ever made.

The Pros:
An interesting layout with a true skill shot to the upper playfield. I like the layout of this game. It is different and interesting. The drop targets offer some risk vs. reward shots to be taken. But bigger points are on the upper playfield. This game may have the most intricate pop bumper cap ever conceived. The artwork is hit and miss. The 3d molded plastics, awesome! The backglass, yikes! The cabinet and playfield artwork, solid!

The Cons:
The artwork looks like it was handled by a high school sophomore who reads Heavy Metal magazine all day long and found an airbrush. And I say that with as much positivity as I can. Because I love Heavy Metal magazine. Sounds are weird. The side lane to the upper playfield is an indirect shot. I wish there was more to do on the upper playfield other than try to make one of the 3 gobble holes.

The Takeaway:
Are you interested in a different and unusual pinball experience? This may be the game for you. If it works. And by the way... Who is Mr Gooooooooooooo?

I played this beauty at Zapcon 2016 (4) quite a few times. Oddly, there wasn't much of a line for this machine, so I found myself playing it over and over --- great lastability. The upper right PF mini PF is a fun and unique addition to a game with decent shots and original plastics.

A great game that is difficult to find - I'd love to own one if I could ever afford it. Find it and play it if you can.

A rare game to find, and amazing moulded plastic playfield parts, really looks excellent from this perspective. Gameplay is a bit repetative though and I don't like the music. If it wasn't for the rarity and the beauty of the playfield artwork, mainly the moulded and lit plastic parts, I'd be selling this on... And of course a naked woman on the backglass is always a bonus, especially for when the mother-in-law is round :-) The cabinet is a nice unusual shape and the colours are beautiful on this. The flipper link design is total garbage on this game, I changed the flipper mechs for those from a Party Animal, which fit perfectly without having to change the coils!
