Classic Game Room reviews COSMOS from Bally released in 1968!! Flip, bounce and bounce again as you enjoy the pleasing chimes and classy artwork found in Cosmos.

[@SelbySavidge]

I love those cell phone shots. You should do more of them when reviewing pinball machines. IT FEELS LIKE I'M ACTUALLY IN THE GAME!

[@HockeyFanatic154]

"Cosmos: boldly going where no one ain`t never done gone before". this is why i`m a subscriber. CGR for life.

[@shockwave1993attack]

I love the way Mark gets really into his Pin Ball reviews lol :D

[@EvaFull]

Thanks for doing a review of a "classic" pinball that would have otherwise been lost in time.

[@Hyper_Egret]

Ah, yes. Just like any classics on media or hobby, they never fail to entertain even if time passes some decades. I love CGR, man.

[@awwrelic]

I've been using the internet since 1995; hilariously beginning on an old Commodore 64 and 1200 baud modem (and Telix 3.2.1). Right now I work on them/build them for a living. Keeps my mind active :).

[@akaMyThought]

I like that you did close ups of the art work

[@loupelez1551]

Mark keep the pinball vids rolling in! We love them in Boston :)

[@PhillT1988]

Welcome back to earth Mark

[@celinesenden4142]

what a old game i love your review show

[@renneth111]

I own one of these machines and must say its VERY COOL!

[@ShapeyFiend]

Love pinball reviews. And pinball tournament videos. CGRPinball channel needs some new content!

[@RomnysGonzalez]

COSMOS....COSMOS!.....COSMOS!!!!. hahaha love mark and this channel is the best here on youtube

[@awwrelic]

Now THIS is the type of pinball I remember playing back when I was a kid (and for the record, I was 6 in 1968!). No fancy digitized voices, no new-fangled upraised rails, no multiple playing fields, just pure battin' a ball around with a couple of flippers... ...eh, I still want The Black Hole :).

[@LeeShadow]

Yes! More pinball reviews!

[@philmckracken7992]

Really don't see how people dislike this video. Click a link of a review of a pinball table then not like it. Weird.

[@akaMyThought]

Classic and nice art work. Good quality

[@benfreed]

If I owned one of these Cosmos machines, and wanted to sell it; what do you think I could get for it?

[@reezdog]

i like the pov at the flippers. it is cool that they mover. PAPA this is the only reason for me to come to Pittsburgh here.

[@iCeMaNtHeBeSt]

That is something never get old "PINBALL"

[@dschult3]

"It's like putting a chain link fence in front of a black hole." I'm going to borrow this line from now on.

[@Mr.Nin10do.]

I love this channel

[@tntamusements]

Great video!!

[@Eyetrauma]

see, i contend that having the ball spend so much time just bouncing around is a stylistic choice: the game's set in space, where there's no gravity and things just kind of listlessly float around. also: i like that PAPA really captured the arcade feel by having the quintessential weird patterned carpet

[@loupelez1551]

Yeah the Fuel pod are for player replays. From the ad on the internet "Separate fuel-pod bonus computer for each player steps one point each player sends ball into orbit. Bonus points ranging from 4 to 9 add importantly to player's total per game" I had to find out or would have lost sleep as usual.

[@NIGH11]

CGR FOREVER!

[@Vonwert35]

Theater of Magic!!! Please do one on that machine!

[@Turndawg107]

I certainly hope that Theatre of Magic table right next to it gets a review!

[@ThalesAcm]

in the future we all will have 5 balls

[@theawesomegamr]

wow, very cool machine there!

[@Joorum]

I kept looking at my front door when the pinball machine made the ring sound.

[@airn09]

DRINKING GAME!!! Every time Mark says COSMOS take a shot!!

[@TheDabeavis]

He can't really hold the phone horizontally using just the token cup, not to mention that PAPA records their pinball videos in a vertical aspect ratio as well to focus on the entire playfield and project the footage onto massive vertical screens at events.

[@evanfoley21]

am i the only one that thinks mark should reveiw more pinball machines?

[@TMS5100]

always something more satisfying about playing the old purely electromechanical pinball games, instead of the computerized ones.

[@MetalSonicBricks]

Please review the "Who's Tommy" Pinball machine in the back!!

[@Genghis_Pro]

I really hope he reviews that Theater of Magic table next to him.

[@Dukefazon]

Every time you said Cosmos I wanted to play Final Fantasy Dissidia :)

[@dementedwarlok]

Nice cup reverb action there.

[@TKstudios21]

I've watched CGR a million times, but I've never understood the squirrel or where he got the intro music. Anyone?

[@DrewVonAwesome]

Wait, that Theatre of Magic machine was on the Cosmos machine's left at the start of the video... then it was on the right later in the video.... HOLY SHIT THEATRE OF MAGIC IS ACTUALLY MAGICAL!

[@epluribusfunk514]

This game came out for production by Bally in January of 1 9 6 9.

[@rarecoolitems]

More Pinball!!!

[@eins2001]

This machine is pretty advanced for the era!

[@weirdproq]

Please review that Rocky and Bullwinkle pinball machine! :D

[@dreamspheree]

Carl Sagan once said he made the TV show Cosmos after playing this pinball machine - true story

[@nobleherbivore9247]

I CAN FEEL THE COSMOS!!!!!!!!

[@ZiggyZoko]

I adore classic pinball machines like this one. Is this the oldest game that Mark has reviewed?

[@cgraham6]

This pinball machine probably should have had Carl Sagan's face on the front of it. Also, they really liked bells with their pinball in the 60's.

[@joshmx28]

when it was on the right or the one that was on the left?

[@Fortuna1]

Cosmos, with high echo, the voice sound cool

[@aRoySV]

when is the papa pinball tournament?

[@townsjim]

More pinball yay!

[@jpnola5304]

Playing those games is fuckin tough but can be done. The less you flip the better, and when you DO flip every shot counts.

[@Sodaholic6502]

Looks like it's visually styled after the Jetsons.

[@thegrasshopperliesheavy]

aw man i love dr. dude!

[@CrazzyCrisis]

Fantastic

[@JOURNALISTICREVIEW]

I subscribed for the squirrel.

[@TheEthanox]

Room tour!

[@BrianCostelloe]

Wasn't that "other Mark" in Clerks? LOL

[@nuck81]

Mark has the same phone as me. I'm swooning....

[@rockyscarlet]

Mark you should review more game music

[@evanfoley21]

more pinball!

[@KnuxKitsune]

Hello, Rocco.

[@megamancards]

"This is the future! I have 5 balls!"

[@yaywhewclips242]

show ALL your pinball machines.

[@HockeyFanatic154]

well, that`s another reason for subscribing i suppose. :)

[@dementedwarlok]

Review Dr dude. Or you can come to my house and review it lol

[@Draykez]

Hello Dauun.

[@COBOL]

1968... Yeah, It's the oldest. Also because there wasn't commercial videogames in the 60s. Only prototipes...

[@pip12111]

Do one on Silverball Mania

[@SockyNoob]

That pinball machine was made the same year as 2001: A Space Odyssey

[@JonDrobny]

I have this weird suspicion that this game was made to make pleasing sounds (like in a casino) and not actually to provide a significant amount of fun.

[@reddworm]

your profile pic made me pause for a sec until I was sure it wasn't real. Hate to have hit the screen for nothing!

[@ClassicNintendoShow]

Aww, Yeah!

[@SylveonTrapito]

Es mi imaginación o el hueco entre los dos flippers es mas grande que un pinball promedio?

[@Clintwoodz]

Please do not change the intro music

[@datbitchkeepingitreal6712]

1968 holly fuck that machine old lol

[@NaturalProgressGames]

"Lets go... there..."

[@xXbelmontXx]

Mark , you made this video only to say cosmos with reverb , didnt you?

[@Souldiver66]

CGR reviews are cool, intresting and funny - usually. This one? Not so much sorry. Being good fun at the beginning, it lacks any serious aspects about this classic Pin, IMHO. Sure, the ruleset is shallow, compared to todays standards. But I think, the game and it's creators still deserve some respect, by explaining the rules properly - it IS a review after all, right? ;) This all said, please allow me: - Skill shot: Back in the days before "Lane change" launching the ball precisely, was the first task to master in a ball of Pinball. Hit the rebound, to lite the center lane, get it and score big. Obviousely too challenging for today's players... ;) - Zipper-Flippers do not "stay closed for some seconds", but as long as you avoid to hit the targets, opening them again. - The three UFO's with those small rollovers do activate features on the playfield, when lit. - Fuel Pods!? Hard to achieve (orbiting the planet), being another way to win replays, beside the usual tresholds. Sure, there was lots of "bouncing around" on these games and luck was a much bigger factor. But it also takes lots more of skill to master those tables than a new game, thus if you DO master the challenge, it just feels great. Try it - but with some more seriousness, perhaps...

[@randomquentin]

Yay

[@Ebinsugewa]

These types of games are called 'zipper flippers' for the way they come together. Unfortunately, not many of them are very much fun. I wish you could have chosen a cooler EM game so they don't all look so lame!

[@vaultboy123]

Needs more Carl Sagan.

[@Trusteft]

Now I want to watch Seinfeld.

[@TheRetroRenegade]

He played this all day and never touched Theatre of Magic???

[@mbsfaridi]

6:26 Duck tape fixes everything.
