Welcome to my channel. I have been playing and collecting games since 1987 and I use this channel to share my passion and memories of gaming. I review games that I believe are under appreciated or wrongfully dismissed on Game Genie Reviews. Video Game Nostalgia is a fun series where I take a look at a topic from my gaming past and share games that come to mind from it. I also do Top 10 lists, of course I do...what else is on youtube right? Well I like to think I put my own spin on them because they are based on my life in gaming. Hope you enjoy the channel and always looking forward to hearing from you.

Did you say cabinet mode is already included? I can’t figure out for the life of me how to turn this on for my ALP.

[@curbydinobot8633]

I'm still hoping that one day we get a Gremlins and Hellraiser pinball

[@iceman-3024]

I’ve been waiting for your take. I’m happy youre so quick on the upload. Great as always! I can’t wait for more M tables!

[@timo7203]

That Chucky table, love the call back to the ending of Child's Play 3. Also, the series got a tad better with Curse of Chucky. The voice of Chucky, Brad Douriff, his daughter plays the main character. It goes back to its roots. If you haven't seen it, check it out when ya get the chance.

[@darkempire2022]

I've been looking forward to this video all day, brother!

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Lol sorry it took me so long!

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

Hi Guys, Thanks for checking out the video! Let me know what you think of Pinball M so far and what game is your favorite?

[@jasmeerlabeer4591]

Loving this. Love The Thing table.

[@jasmeerlabeer4591]

Is this something Zen would put on the new Atgames table?

[@Micky.Michael]

Pinball M is amazing. I bought all the tables. None of them are bad. I love the unlockable where u can modify the tables themselves. I just wish there was an online hotseat mode where u can play against players live and watch them play on your screen while being able to talk to them as well so you can make friends and compete that way, instead of the tournies where you are trying to best a submitted score. It would feel better with an online hot seat. U can talk to ppl and it would be more fun. What do you think? Do u agree?

[@ToxcynArcade]

Oh man this is awesome. I just got the Chucky table for now and I’ve been on it for over an bour

[@danz6173]

Chucky is definitely my fav on this bundle.

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

It's right there with the thing for me but you may be right

[@TheBigb1973]

How can we play this on our atgames pinball machine?

[@CraigTompkins1]

I'm concerned with launching 2 different Zen Studios apps in my cabinet. I've got a front end now, but 90% of my tables are pinball FX so I've been considering dropping Virtual Pinball and just using Pinball FX. Now, if I want to use Pinball M I'd have to keep a front end. I'd really like to be able to call any of those tables (Pinball FX3 ones that have not been upgraded too) with 1 UI.

[@master_sardu]

*Brad Dourif. I'm a huge horror movie fanatic and love Pinball games. I hope they do F13th, Texas Chainsaw, Nightmare on Elm st, etc. Thanks for the heads up

[@manolobebop3096]

Awesome pinballs with zen studios 🤩🥳

[@rushmore3927]

Cool! Any jiggling? 😮

[@iceman-3024]

It’s not Kurt Russel, but a very good sound alike. I think the VA commented on the Thing Pinball trailer from Zen earlier this week.

[@alucard624]

Definitely the best Kurt Russell voice impersonation I've ever heard.

[@King_Midas]

Bought all the tables and am playing The Thing as we speak. Bought it on PC in case I want to play at on my Addam's Family 4KP when it comes.

[@MrSteveonbroadway]

getting this today along with atomic edition evercade there is alot of duke nukem today.. Could not have planned it better...

[@geraldrader3060]

seems they need to work out lag with flipper response. also, as all zen tables, i think the ball physics when interacting with the flipper surface needs work. the ball rolls off too much when trying to hold. probably needs a bit more friction on the ball surface or flipper surface. just IMO. but glad to see adult tittles. duke nukem and his personality rocks. i still remember playing the shareware version multiple times. the one liners stand out in my memory. nice to see the pinball version.

[@aromad5557]

If Atgames made a Chucky themed table, I’d put in a preorder.

[@timo7203]

Ditto. My basement is primarily decorated with horror stuff, so it would fit in perfectly.

[@aromad5557]

@@timo7203 Me too. I have a lot of horror movie memorabilia. I have two 1:1 scale Chucky dolls. My wife calls it my whore room. lol

[@gsbarlow4]

Will be playing this on my ALP via my switch...once it hits Nintendo later this month!

[@LangersArcade]

This looks amazing!!!

[@MichaelBtheGameGenie]

It is actually, really happy with how this turned out!

[@marcusmcquillan1195]

They should do a couple Russ Meyers tables!!!

[@drblitz3092]

It’s a 10/10 side game. Spent 6 hours straight playing the chucky layout. I couldn’t beat a film scene but I trapped 3 balls and stabbed chucky.

[@brettchamberlain7141]

Hey, how do I hit the Chucky skill shot? I can’t seem to do it reliably and I’ve got the others down fine !

[@drblitz3092]

@@brettchamberlain7141I never really cared about the skill shot. If I get, i get it.

[@720erik2]

Is Atgames planning to release this for their new 4k and port it over? Good lord that would be epic!

[@RobertPage1968]

If anyone is having performance issues in cabinet mode, turn off vsync and set to borderless window. Just like early FX days, same bugs, same solutions.

[@jasmeerlabeer4591]

That is definitely not Kurt Russell.

[@RjSkorenki]

Is this avaliblie on xbox one

[@afrog2666]

There`s something off about the ball, looks janky AF, is that because of youtube or, I mean, is it like 25 fps? Just doesn`t look smooth, but it looked smooth in the trailer on steam..

[@robryan4080]

Nothing like that in the game it is very smooth, never trust youtube videos

[@drstephenstrange897]

I don't get Duke Nukem, looks really good don't get me wrong but DN an horror game? That's weird why not Blood? Also the Duke Nukem table is not even called "Balls Of Steel" that's a little bit disappointing🤔, the others seems pretty amazing though!

[@lacrossed55]

Agree. The Thing is very good and this is coming from a guy who has worn a MacReady hat in public

[@petergriffinelectricdrums4164]

❤❤❤ DUKE NUKE HELL YEAH 🔥🔥🤘🤘🔥

[@markf.3617]

VR?

[@NekroBroly]

The thing is awesome i just wish it had more characters and the childs voice acting sounds nothing like keith david. Also is does seem to cheat once you get a good run going.

[@jackcoleman1784]

That's not how pinball works. The odds are stacked against you from the start of the game. It doesn't have to cheat you're going to lose eventually by design. The playfield is literally angled towards the drain. Almost all of the techniques you learn when you start to get serious about pinball are about extending game length/surviving. The Thing is just a harder table because it has a lot of posts ala it's flare gimmick and the wizard mode requires you to complete modes instead of just playing them unlike a lot of other zen tables. There's no conscious AI for it to cheat even if that were a goal and if they wanted that to be a thing there'd be no way to do it without it looking blatant. You wouldn't be saying you think it's cheating you'd be saying it does outright. TLDR your issue is a skill issue and the table is a hard table. The only thing I'll say is that Pinball M physics are based on the more recent Zen physics so death saves are much harder than they are on the older tables on FX for example.

[@NekroBroly]

@@jackcoleman1784 what about when the multiball gets frozen on the feild and the game soft locks? Does pinball work like that? Lmao it's a video game it has bugs and yes it cheats

[@jackcoleman1784]

@@NekroBroly No it really doesn't. I've never had it soft lock so I don't know what you're talking about but even if it did that's an example of exactly what I was talking about and would be a blatant bug dumbass. A bug isn't cheating. Stop being shitty at pinball and blaming the game for why you're shit at it. What would even be the point of making it cheat genius? You aren't pumping quarters into it. Lol some people will say anything to avoid confronting their ego.

[@yipersnaperify]

How much?

[@chrisderidder4087]

Free download for 1 table. 20 euros for all the tables

[@asdfhiuh]

Zen seriously needs to work on their sound design. While the QUALITY of their sound design is excellent, the QUANTITY of sounds is severely lacking. If you look at any modern pinball table, they have 100's-1000's of sound effects and call outs. If you play a Zen table they have about 20. It's pathetic and makes the experience feel amateur and hollow. Play a modern Stern table and it is an exciting experience. Play a Zen table and it is anything but. It almost seems like they have never played a real pinball machine made after the early 80's.

[@trailbreaker11]

These look too scary. Even my little Pony and Charlie Brown snoopy scares me. Rainbows and ponies are scary and Snoopy reminds me of Cujo the killer dog. I’m doomed!
