Houdini opinions?

[a.stebel]

Who in the group owns a Houdini? Would like to hear your thoughts on the game.

I’ll have room for one game after I put up Fire! For sale.

I have had mine since they first came out.Shots are tight,but doable.Lots of mods and multi balls.Light show is pretty awesome.Since the newest update i find they game alot more fun than it was and am glad I kept it

That’s a few people that have said tight shots.

Sounds like a “tough” game. Right up my alley. I guess the hunt will commence.

That was the general feedback on pinside when it came out too, I've only played a couple of games on it so not much feedback from me. I think it is a good looking game, lots to shoot for, not sure how well it has held its value or how well it will in the years to come though if that is a consideration. You don't see them come up for sale to often, pinside lists it between USD $5090 - $5910. The one for sale on Pinside right now says they've installed an upgraded PSU? Not sure if that is something to look out for when looking for one.

Ive heard from several... Tight to the point of frustrating.

I’ve played it lots at showroom. I don’t hate it but yes it’s a tough game with tight shots. I don’t have any desire to buy one but if I was offered one at a steal I might grab it.

looks like price has settled around 5k usd on these so not bad. Who knows maybe it will be a sleeper in a few years.

well had one and would buy another anytime...............open to offers

Before Pinside crashed and burned, saw a Houdini sell for $5300. Looks like that is my next game possibility. Only have room for 1 more.

Houdini is AWESOME!!! People hated on it for no reason. I absolutely love the game; from aesthetics to rules to layout... yup, some shots are tight but soooo worth it.
If you can get one for 5300US, scoop it up. I have owned mine since they first came out and wouldn’t take much less than 10K.
It has amazing support, and has progressed so much in code that I really feel this will be a pin people wish they never got rid of. Perfect for a home environment.
Ask me anything you want.
