The layout, and mechs are amazing! Sell this!

[@LeRevetir]

I was the coder! Thanks for your showcase of the machine! Nick is an amazing guy and his vision for this machine was mind-blowing. I can't wait to finish the loose ends before working on another box with him! Keep up the good work on your channel!

[@DRI374]

Great work all around, I hope to play the finished thing one day.

[@churchofsolipsism2716]

It looks like an amazing table, and I think many people here would love to see this as an official release. Can't wait to see your next machine, man!

[@LeRevetir]

@@churchofsolipsism2716 thanks! We're kicking around a couple ideas but the main priority at this point is completing THPP, thanks!

[@nogoodnames222]

@LeRevetir Congrats on getting this thing done (and seemingly very solid). This is one of the most impressive homebrews I've ever seen, incredible first effort from both you guys.

[@LeRevetir]

@@nogoodnames222 oh it's far from "done" we had a list of features that needed to be implemented at minimum to preserve the feel and style and I was remotely in the machine an hour before the main show fixing a function error that kept crashing it on replay! Lol, it's been very testing at times but an amazing experience and community, plus working with your best friend on a passion is just so rewarding. We can't wait to finish the edges and really make it shine even brighter than it already is.

[@markhorsburgh]

This has definitely been made with love by Nick. Thanks for showcasing it

[@churchofsolipsism2716]

Also, this Nick fella has such a warm and winning personality, his presentation was a joy. I can totally see this as an official machine; I don't know much about Stern Pinball picking up Keith Elwin's Iron Maiden design, but I'd love to see the same happening for this machine.

[@DRI374]

This is an absolute master letter in making a pinball machine.

[@coolcreek5470]

So far, from KZbinrs streaming from Expo, this game, Tony Hawk, is the most interesting new pin at the show…

[@Retrosys]

Thank you for getting this game up here! Nick is a great guy and I hope he gets approached by a company this weekend!

[@DRI374]

Great conversations with Nick and I'm mighty impressed by his enthusiasm and creativity.

[@RUMZ70]

This is a great theme for a pin, and an great design. Nice work Nick. I wondered why no major pin producer hasn't pursued the Tony Hawk Pro Skater theme (maybe they have behind the scenes)? Bally Radical was such a cool pin and is still really popular. We really need a modern skating themed pin.

[@DRI374]

There were rumors of one back in 2000. But yeah, it's crazy this hasn't been done.

[@FlipNIK.Pinball]

Thank you for the interview and showcasing my game! Amazing rig you have, and being able to get the secret tape on camera was awesome! I was so worried I would suck at my own game hahaha

[@DRI374]

My pleasure all together. It's the easiest thing in the world to suck at pinball, we all know that, but you nailed it.

[@JamesElterman]

Brilliant execution. Hard to believe this is a homebrew! Every shot and game element so well thought out.

[@robinfell1291]

Cool game! Thanks for sharing.

[@Ruuku1]

this looks like an awesome game to play, very good work!

[@frauenhm]

Incredible job, Nick. Looks amazing - Great interview too -

[@frauenhm]

Also great plug for The Electric Playground and their amazing toppers. St. Louis has a such a great pinball scene!

[@FlipNIK.Pinball]

Big shout out to them. Being in their booth was an honor!!!

[@BullMoose-v8x]

Man that is impressive! Well done!

[@Richard-f1d]

This is such a great theme ! Thanks for showing us the game Micheal & Nick , best wishes for it's success going forward and would love to play it someday !

[@ukxvc]

wow that's amazing what he's put together there. I've been looking forward to seeing this being played. What a great job!

[@josephgumma449]

This is the theme of my childhood. A production run of all the games would be a collection I would dream of owning. I didn’t get to play this game I wish I could! The sounds, the shots, the achievements all bring me back in time. Well done.

[@DRI374]

The sound effects alone from THPS would reel in a billion people. Stern should just put this on the production line as-is. It's built in a Stern cab with Stern mechs.

[@darkwing7780]

Super awesome getting to check out the shots on this game!

[@midlifearcade]

Holy crap! This is awesome

[@andrewdolby178]

Would TOTALLY order this beast

[@DRI374]

You and lot of other folks. This a dream theme for many to start and this execution is just mind boggling.

[@afattori316]

And crickets from AP and this comes out of nowhere. Wow! Very nice!

[@ToxicKlay]

awesome game, great video!! shame the gameplay footage of the machine in action is the two of you building a mansion out of bricks but it looks like a tough game with tight shots so I can't be too mad about that :P thanks for showing us the game and for interviewing Nick

[@DRI374]

This was so fun, but as always with pinball, it's HARD!

[@HeavyMetalPinball]

Amazing super cool homebrew! I love skating and pinball especially well made homebrews from passionate pinball lovers. I think it would be cool to have a quarterpipe ramp that has targets that are horizonal to stop the ball and force it back down like 50-50 stall style or handplant style trick concept. I heard "Turbo" a race car homebrew was recently put together showing up as well which has a cool v8 ball lock that looked interesting. I really was hoping for footage of Harry Potter homebrew from ky1ebasa on pinside as well, his looks soooo impressive like mind blowing. Love the board spin/flip mech on tony hawk and the unique rails too. So amazing what all these homebrew guys come up with.

[@BigMike_23]

Just imagine he gets in a deal with one of them big pin ball companies like sterrlin pinball or smth and they make a 1 to 1 replica of this with the right quality instead of 3D print it would be insane and sell like crazy!

[@DRI374]

That's what we want to see. THPS will have a broad appeal too so it will bring people out of the woodwork to play pinball.

[@churchofsolipsism2716]

Just watched from 32:51 onwards at 0.25 speed, goes from Stoner comedy to witnessing amazing pinball design back to Stoner comedy in one very satisfying arc.

[@DRI374]

Ok, this made me snortle out loud lol

[@djkurtz92]

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[@thesmoness]

Very cool good for him. You wonder if he would get hired by someone but sounds like he might have a more lucrative career out of Pinball.

[@DRI374]

That's his hopes and dreams.

[@HorrorRod]

please add an empty pool skating area maybe as an under area and a l shaped ramp is missing and possible launch ramp.

[@Mechulus]

14:50 Skip the yacking and get to the actual subject. You're welcome. P.S. I appreciate the gameplay. This pin has a lot of great touches and the designer is clearly intending to make a love letter to the THPS series. I played the hell out of THPS4. 32:52 so sweet. Very satisfying shot.
