My Top 50 Pinball Machines #8 | Williams Fish Tales | Rated | Gonzo vs Pinside top 100

[@DOGGARD01]

Me and a couple of mates, still quote call outs from fish tales, 30 years after first playing it in the local cafe. That says a lot, the call outs of those 90s Bally/ Williams are timeless, and one of the reasons those games are loved to this day. And nailing the monster fish shot, while the fish roars, and the jackpot counts down, is one the most satisfying shots in pinball

Been absolutely binging this series the past few days. As someone just getting into pinball these videos are super helpful and such a joy to watch. Cheers from New Orleans, Louisiana!

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Hey Sasha, I'm really pleased that you're enjoying them . . . lots more to come.

[@lobsterman5786]

Yes, Fishtales IS one of the best ever!

[@stevezu6559]

Glad I found your channel, it is very interesting, looking forward to watching the other ones

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Thank you Steve, hopefully you find some of your favourite games on the channel.

[@GoodwinsPlace]

It's on my wishlist, fairly high up too. Just need the space and to sell something else off from the wider non-pin collection.

[@lifewater989]

Catch ‘em all. Hook, line and sinker. Fish Tales is a fantastic pin. It’s in my top 5 for sure. The artwork alone just screams FUN.

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Yes indeed . . .well said sir

[@ToddHowardsChessClub]

I think CGC need to reboot Fish Tales and do a Lionel Richie cross over, I would buy a Lionel Fishie for sure 😂 Again you are most welcome for the video idea, you didn't need to but thanks for the shout out mate 👍

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Lionel Fishie 😂

[@catoblepag]

Thanks for the video! Fish Tales was my first pinball machine. 24 more machines later, it's still my favorite in my collection. Of course it all depends on what you enjoy the most in a game: I prefer fast and simple to long journeys, with a super clear scoring system, so you always know exactly where you stand when you're playing against your friends. Most of all, Fish Tales has "flow" in spades, with some shots like the Fast Cast (nailing the ball lock right after the initial orbit) bein' almost instinctive and incredibly satisfying. If you're a pinball wizard, you'll probably play all day long for Super Jackpots and break the game with absurd scores - I've seen it in a tournament - but that's not an issue for a casual player.

How do you communicate with a Fish Tales pinball machine?? Drop it a line!

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

😂😂 That's gags two days running Andy

[@andyb6120]

I'm well pissed off with my neighbour today. Yesterday he kept playing the same Lionel Richie song over and over at full blast. I wouldn't mind normally, but it was all night long.

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

😂 That's your best one

[@Chad-mf5vo]

Fish tales, one of my favourites, had fish fingers I played it so much, then i grew ip a bit more and had the other type of fish fingers.... I recently got my custom decals back for my new vpin, which feature artwork flyers from 15 of my all time favourites, if your keen to see it, can email to you. Hopefully some will make it into the top 50 😊

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Thanks Chat, that's very decent of you mate. [e-mail]

[@andyb6120]

What's Lionel Richie's favorite video game? Halo.

[@explosiveegg3920]

Interesting take. I own a fish tales, and it's a good game. But I'd put it a lot lower than some of these due to lack of shots and somewhat unsatisfying code. Ehoh, Wcs94, and MM are my top 3 from your list. Though I've never actually owned a MM.

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Yeah, Elvira is a special game.

[@GavC88]

Wow! I’m sad now. CP forever!! Until I get my T2 back next weekend 😂😂

[@DaveTheTrain]

Isn't the captive ball a punishing shot? Its one of the most important shots for points too😄 (Fyi ted can be a safe shot if taken from a particular flipper or on launch with ball save. Risk n reward innit, but rs is all about the modes really)

[@brentthompson2092]

[@alho9231]

Why can't Lionel Richie recite the entire alphabet? Because he always gets stuck on U. Apologies in advance... 😏 Mine's a chicken Madras 😰

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

😂😂😂😂 No apologies required. You are fully joining in with the spirit of the channel

[@foxbodystang8587]

Mate, I just picked up a fish tales over the weekend and I’ve got to say it’s a fabulous game. Can it get repetitive quickly in a small collection? Yes, but it does plenty well in a line up of several games. To me this is a great competition game. Easy to explain, yet hard to master. Challenge your friends to see who can get more jackpots or catch that monster fish. Just like you, I have sterns and have had several sterns, but my collection right now revolves around the wpc classics. FT, IJ, STTNG, MM, TZ….and Im possibly grabbing a Addams! Wpc for the win?

[@GonzosPinballFlipperama]

Hi mate, these WPC's have stood the test of time and are great games.

[@foxbodystang8587]

@@GonzosPinballFlipperama Mate...give me your pick. X-men, STTNG, Fish Tales. Rank those 1-3 and which would you want in your collection.
