Is this something you'd think about picking up for Christmas or as a birthday present? Would you want to see something similar in a 3/4 scale sized machine?

Definitely gifting myself one at some point. I have several of the original Tomy games these are based on, so it'd be hard to justify it as a gift for the kids. Plus, I already played that card with an ATgames micro pinball back in October, haha.

Nick - you couldn't possibly expect solenoid/electric flippers in a product like this, plus I'm telling you those flippers are silky smooth. The next level real pin you can buy new - ones with electronic flippers - cost over $6000. But it would make a fun gift for sure....

@@evilgeniusentertainment The issue for me is that different shots from the same area of the flipper could be vastly different. But I digress, perhaps learning how to control the power of the flipper is an additional skill one could master. I’d have to try it out myself.

Evil Genius Entertainment, THIS IS CRAZY! I was just on Amazon yesterday and came across a Pac-Man Pinball machine, same company, and searched for a video to see how it played. The first video that came up was an older video of yours. You did a review of a smaller version of the Ambassador Tabletop pinball, it wasn't the Pac-Man one I found on Amazon, but it was the same layout. I decided today I would stop by that same video and let you know about the new variant I found, but HOLY MOLEY, you got some Pro models of this machine that I didn't even know existed! The timing couldn't be more perfect! I wanted to let you know that your review on these machines were very well done! It definitely sold me on this. I used to get these tabletop machines for Christmas when I was a kid, and they'd pretty much immediately broke after a day or two, but I didn't care, they were just so fun to play! And I'm a HUGE fan of Pac-Man, but the crazy thing is, the general version actually looks more appealing to me and I think that's the one I'm going to get. I'm glad I came back to revisit your older video and found this new one. I'm definitely going to pick up the Pro version over the original now :) Have a great one! vgv

An almost exact replica of Tomy's Astro Shooter/American Pinball/Pirate's Treasure toy pin from the 1980's. Only thing missing is the right-hand ramp that went past the upper flipper to drop the ball into the rollovers over the bumpers. I would hazard a guess Ambassador has the old Tomy toolings or made clones thereof as the patents have expired, as their previous release is also an updated clone of Tomy's Atomic Pinball toy pin from the same era. Not that I'm complaining. Have the original Astro Shooter, and it's the king of the toy pins in my opinion. Active pop bumpers, kickout holes, ramp shots, what's not to love?

I bought my nephew the original Tomy Astro Shooter (with the exhaust/burner picture in the middle) and when the bumpers are hit they make laser noises. I notice that those sound effects from the bumpers are not present in this new version? The old version also had the score, really pump up when hit into the kickout holes from what I remember. I do wish that one of those holes gave you a multi ball.

I own the original Astro Shooter, and I bought the Electronic Arcade Pro Pinball machine a couple weeks ago after playing the smaller Atomic Arcade re-make. These are great updates. The Pro Pinball plays very similarly to Astro Shooter (down to the loud motor noise). Very happy to have this - leds are great. Thanks for the review. I found your channel when I was looking into whether or not to buy the smaller version.

I don't that would work. I have added rheostats to other machines to get control over the volume, but likely won't for this - it's a loud machine even without the music, and I tend to use it in the gameshack on Friday nights; meaning I have all the machines and music pumping, so noise isn't really a factor. YMMV!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! UK side Smyths Toys only have Pac-man, I'll have a nose around. 👍 As for the slightly smaller versions that have been out for a few years I managed to get the speaker more quite. Get a strip of electrical tape, about 2inches long, stick one side over half the speaker, make a loop but don't join that loop making sure there is a gap of a few millimetres and stick the other side down over the other half of the speaker. Your basically allowing the sound to come out of a small slit..., the sound will be much quieter, if you want it louder make the gap slightly bigger. Being electrical tape it's easy to take back off.

Rule set very basic - just chasing high scores. When you get the ball to the subway tunnel is does start a bonus scoring round. Far as I can tell, the Pro versions share the same rules/scoring; the "normal" version all share the same scoring/rules set.

@evilgeniusentertainment
@evilgeniusentertainment 2 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for watching! I think it has as much replay value as is possible for the form factor. Perhaps the dirtiest secret in real world pinball is that no matter how amazing the game is, you will, eventually, want something else. That's why pinball games are so often traded for other pins, vs out-right sold. (it's also the major advantage V-pin has over the real thing). This particular unit reminds me of early solid state pins; you're mostly in it to bang away at the ball for a simple, bu fun, time. Hope that helps!

Hmmmm. Good video but I'm not sure an adult would enjoy playing this often. Maybe to get a child interested in pinball? Idk. $150? I think a used ipad and digital pinball would be much more exciting.

I mean, you're not going to play it for 4 hours a week for the rest of your life. But if you enjoy a nice, fast, game of pinball in a small form this is without a doubt the best option out there. I can definitely seeing playing it every Friday night when I go out to the shack to actually game (as oppose to kicking out these videos). YMMV

they're more than meets the eye. I've had a Tomy Astro Shooter for almost a decade, and it was old when I bought it. But, it's a really fun, simple pinball. If you can score over 100k, you're really doing something. It sounds like you can earn extra balls on this new one which adds a whole 'nother gameplay mechanic.

Exactly - it's a genre onto itself. There's a surprising number of tabletop fans out there. And this new machine, IMO, is the best of 'em.

trying to find the most omish non electronic one. table top if possible. Is this one actually good. Still needs battery's. Still looks pretty good. everyone liking it? Is there better ones? money isn't to much of a factor. Don't have the room at the moment for a big one. One day i suppose. For now just pinball fx on the computer.

I live in the stick, so I lose power on the reg (just last week as a matter of fact), so having the ability to jam on some pinball even with the power out is actually pretty sweet! But yeah, you don't see "C" batteries used in too many things anymore do you?

Interesting product, but weird that an almost 20 minute review makes no mention of gameplay rules?! I suppose I can infer that there basically are none… just a flat X points awarded each time a bumper is hit or something. Shame, just even some very basic rules (hit X to light multiplier… like you see in 70’s era pinball machines) would have made this awesome and a must buy for me… as it is I’ll probably pass. Weird that a make or break piece of info like that isn’t even referenced in the video though.

Honestly, that's just not my use scenario - I like for the flick a button and start banging away aspect of it. To be sure, this is not a "deep" pinball game, but it is nice to be able to earn up to 5 extra balls. Reminds me more of an EM or older solid state pin in that regard....

Why did they make pink flippers on the Pac-Man one / it would had made more sense they would have made the flippers yellow not pink / it’s Pac-Man / it’s not Ms. Pac-Man / what was they thinking lol 😆 / it’s a pass for me / it’s definitely not worth the price tag because of it’s cheap quality / sorry to say / Side note it needs 2 more skill shots options a ramp or 2 / 2 would be better / and needs the both lower sides spring bumpers to move the ball side to side / i always like to see that when i played pinball in the arcade and complete bottom rubber feet to keep it from not moving around when playing / i put in some thought with this one / It’s my 🎁 to you Marry Christmas🎄if the company decides to make a updated one later on
