Pinball machines are pure works of art, I swear. There’s just something magical about the feeling you get when playing or even just watching someone play like you.

[@MJTRadio]

As someone who's still very new to the world of proper pinball appreciation, I really do love this board. It's got a relatively low skill threshold for getting cool stuff to happen, it's well balanced, and you get a lot of funny and entertaining sound cues. Awesome game.

[@Chairman7w]

Totally agree! I wish more games followed this simple formula!

[@ThreeEyedPea]

Medieval Madness is easily one of the best tables for those just getting into pinball to start with.

[@shiro4420]

3:55 what a save !!!

[@jamesuhlemeyer9457]

Apparently, that princess voice around 1:30-1:45 is a young Tina Fey.

An absolute classic. Would love to play the real machine again, but the Steam version is a decent approximation.

After watching this video I clearly need to practice more. My angles and shot abilities are good but I want flipper control like this. Absolutely amazing ball control. My hats off to you, sir.

This table was made it in Heaven!

I've beat this table

[@jaxnean2663]

Wow! You're one pinball wizard! Amazing gameplay!

[@nateedwards7797]

8 minutes on a single ball is phenomenal! All the way to a free replay, too.

[@KreuzDrache]

I got a chance to play the remake in Comic2Games, it was definitely my favorite machine! The castle prop is so cool, especially with the shaking motions!

[@teletronz]

This pinball game is so hard-rockin no other game stands up to it.

[@godadone]

I used to play the shit out of this at the arcade in Newport, RI in the late 90s. It was so much fun. I looked one up to get for my house. Sweet lord are they expensive.

[@gugaLiuzzi]

I used to play the s***t out of this at the arcade in Rio de Janeiro in the late 90's. Cheers from the other side of the world!

[@WesleyPipes-wc3gl]

I used to go to that arcade and play the ticket slot machines lol

[@Zipcodacary]

They have this machine at my favourite bar, it’s so much fun

[@Riz2336]

That's crazy they made a remake of the game. It must be real popular. I've never played it myself although I did play a lot of classic Williams games from that era.

[@lander77477]

Going straight for castle crusher first? Hmm i never tried that strategy before, i need to try that

[@junsuhlee5706]

This one provides so much fun for beginners

[@Nogardo]

Play it like crazy on pinpall FX, nothing like saving some valley girls

[@Mozarts-Sister]

I loved Pinball! - past tense, they're not in Pubs these days, sadly - Except when it was out've action as some heavy-handed clunk'd broke it thumping & shaking it.

[@kristengerber997]

I played this one at a local arcade last night. It was very entertaining!

[@alandunaway3000]

I destroyed the castle about 4 times in one play, racked up about 56 million points. Such an awesome game!!

[@BigMacOrange]

Its gets really hard after the 2 and 3rd time.

[@xBloodBoundx]

@@BigMacOrange Yeah, my high score is 170 million. I never killed the king though, that's the last castle I haven't beat.

[@romanpower3]

here because of story break. looks awesome

[@Lofote]

The video feed showing the display is off-sync :(

[@zematacobras]

Done more then that. Amazing pinball machine.

[@TaylorLopez412]

first actual ball lost: 8:00. What a mad man.

[@Davidgbball13]

Best game ever and I want one. I’ll pay 10k for one and never let anyone play with it. Great game play.

[@joergzabbee3921]

Maybe you should consider a virtual pinball machine. You can create your own for less money. Search on YT for it, Medieval Madness is my favorite table and it's available on VPX or FX3.

[@dogey8831]

@@joergzabbee3921 are they possible to stream to friends on platforms such as discord?

[@plowking813]

skills, you are the castle crusher, simply stopped playing once all castles destroyed, well played

[@kellyj261]

Just discovered pinballs machines recently. There's a pinball museum in Brussels, Belgium and they have this game. Became addicted IMMEDIATELY! Enjoyed this vid, thanks!

[@chantingmammal]

Did you know that Tina Fey of SNL and 30 Rock Fame provided some voices in the game!

[@miss.kate.toronto]

the female voice is tina fey.

[@mlk4life]

you could stall the ball on a flipper and then send it to the drawbridge door.... that was the trick to high scores. once the drawbridge was down you could send it.

[@scottb2794]

[@kezner32]

I remember playing this game back in the 90s and being blown away. I recently purchased the Pinball FX 3 simulator on the Nintendo Switch which is the next best thing. I can now actually try to achieve things that I couldn't afford to back in the day - so many quarters, haha! Anyway, the animations in the dot matrix on this table look different. Is this an updated version?

[@JGBeagle]

1:49 “Damsel Madness is Lit” 🔥👌🏼😂

[@Krmit007]

My top on this one is 18,767,000 or something around that 18 mil for sure though

[@macjaybirdpaintballer4848]

i love the medieval madness pinball i played before in new hampshire lebanon bowling alley

[@Ravenfellblade]

Yep, I played it at the TA truck stop/Buckhorn in Greenland, NH! I love this machine! Easily my favorite table.

9 grand for one of these. I really want one

Same Edit: Saw one for 11k jeez

[@lander77477]

They will supposedly build another round of remakes in late 2023 or early 2024, but no idea what the price will be, prolly not cheap thanks to inflation

[@adambisard7863]

BEST PIN EVER!!!

[@MrCUNTSCRAPE]

The Medieval Madness at my local, sometimes the ball goes from the Catapult into the left ramp and sometimes instead of going to the left flipper just goes straight down the left outlane? Is there something wrong with the machine or is it just a unique money draining feature because I haven't seen this happen in any video demonstrations.

[@MrZozue]

Not normal. But I have no idea what is wrong with your machine. The ball should go to the left ramp and and finish on the left flipper.

[@tehshingen]

You smash many castles.

[@slayanterallica]

Why cant I buy this game on xbox360 online store ?

[@Robertkopp84]

F my life, i've never seen such an insane machine. Anybody like me who thinks T2, Indiana Jones or so are da shit have not played that one. Just played it on PC and wanted to see if this is real.

[@pelucrespins8562]

The key is destroying the castle all the time, is this the battle of kingdom? I have it in my console, how much is to build this pinball machine with all these gadgets? Incredible… The man playing makes easy the impossible for many, a wizard!

[@lander77477]

No, destroying all the castles to get "castle crusher" is only one of the main goals, but it is the hardest one. You also have to make enough of the other shots to get "master of trolls" "patron of the peasants" "defender of damsels" "catapult ace" and "joust champion" and then you will have the ability to activate "battle for the kingdom". You can't build a pinball machine, you have to buy it.

[@brego129]

Thank you. There is a bar by my work that has a shit-ton of pinball machines. This one is my favorite, but I suck. Now I see better how to play it. :)

[@Krmit007]

How much did u purchase this for it is legit my fav pinball machine ever Edit: used $30 worth of quarters just to play this game for an hour lol ANOTHER EDIT: lol im sooo jealous

[@PAPApinball]

This was purchased long before the current pinball explosion and while I don't know the exact amount, waaaaaay less than they go for today.

Profanity ROM please :)

[@JannikVogel]

Nice video as always. However, I felt this focused too much on destroying castles. Royal Madness wasn't even shown, no mention of Barnyard Multiball and the Battle for the Kingdom wasn't explained or shown either. To me, it felt like 1 of the many goals was explained but the rest left out. If I didn't know Medieval Madness before I'd think this was a really repititive and boring game with only one major shot.

[@Nightenstaff]

This wasn't a tutorial video (although PAPA has one filmed under the name CGRpinball), it was more of a skills video. Getting the "Castle Crusher" award is very difficult and this was just a video showing that off.

[@JannikVogel]

Nightenstaff I know, I'm a subscriber and also seen all of the CGR Videos. I realize that this was still a good game, however, I'd expect such a goal driven gameplay in one of the games in a tutorial video and not from a gameplay video. I felt that that this gameplay video didn't show the actual gameplay that Medieval Madness offers. It should be called "Medieval Madness - Castle Crusher Gameplay". In a gameplay video I don't expect a playthrough of any mode or goal but rather all features the machine has to offer. I believe this was also done on the previous Gameplay videos.

[@--pussypatroll--]

I remember one night I had this machine smoking lol, they hadn't done any maintenance on it and all you could smell was burning electrical components. I think I hooked up with some local slag that night after killing the machine.

[@nedduggan4099]

played on this machine once at a pub, not not as good as you! destroyed the castle once and then ran out of credit,
