Step into the lab and bring the machine to life! Released by Gottlieb in September 1986, Genesis tasks you with collecting four body parts to assemble a robot, then striking the vari-target to power up the Regenerator and witness its awakening. The playfield multiplier can climb as high as 32x during multiball as scoring compounds fast with every shot. This recreation faithfully captures the table's striking color-contrast playfield, 1980s sci-fi flair, and punishing difficulty.

 

Please Note: You will need the latest pre-release of VPinMame (build v3.7.0-237 or later) for this table to run properly. (not PinMame, it has to be VPinMame)

Thanks for yet another great release. Everything works flawless for me. I never saw this game in real life, but it look and plays great. Also thumbs up for the awesome VR room!

Not sure how this could possibly be improved upon. Stunning lighting and models show this pin off to the full and the physics feel like utter perfection. This is a game that rewards control, patience and accuracy - one panic or misplaced shot and you'll likely be punished. The theme and gameplay are huge fun and the way the music changes as you play helps create more atmosphere and ramp up the heart rate. The gradually lit elements under the playfield also are excellently done and kudos for the final effects once the monster is complete - really impressive.  

 

Truly one of the greatest creations from the mad scientists of VPW. Thank you so much.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thanks for this new table—the beloved ***Gottlieb - Genesis***. I wasn't familiar with this particular table; I usually know about several of Gottlieb's EM models. I played a few rounds this Saturday, and the table is truly striking—it plays well, and the sounds and lights are fantastic. Great work by the VPW group; I love 80s tables, and this one is brilliant from every angle. Greetings from Argentina.

Um... this is one of my top 3 favorite tables since hitting the arcade as a kid.  I have been playing VPX for a good 7 years now - always waiting for a great version to be done by VPW.  This is it.  The time has finally come and patience has paid off.  So beautiful and so fun to play.  Whoever's idea it was to kick off this project.... thank you - a million times.

And to the whole team involved in this... Its a MASTERPIECE.  Thank you!

 

2 of my 3 favorite tables have now had the VPW treatment.  One to go.

All the work, collaboration, and dedication that went into this project have made the result clear (very cool). I'm going to build a robot; I already have all four parts.

Hello good people, thank you for your hard work.
I downloaded and updated latest pre-release of VPinMame (build v3.7.0-237 or later) in order to run this table, and it goes fine, but before launch table i am getting error "pinDMD v1 not found".
Anybody knows what did I get wrong?

Thank you

Here in Brazil, we have an expression for repeating something that has already been said: "raining on wet ground." So, I may be repeating myself, but there is no other way to put it... a job exceptionally well done—thanks to everyone involved and for sharing!

Incredible. Really satisfying to play, great ball control, the physics and lighting are a thing to behold and those butter smooth ramps.. and man that VR room is also off the hook. Super great release!

VPW did a great job, as always, bringing this up to the highest standards we have in VPX. I'm truly grateful that we get to experience these gems that some of us would otherwise never have the opportunity to play.
