If your seriously considering a machine, try out Pinball Arcade first on one of your newer consoles. It will give you a rundown of all the popular machines and let you get an idea of the theme, rule sets, and difficulty you might be looking for. Doesn't compare to the real thing though.

I highly recommend anyone with an interest in pinball or just hobbies of a geeky nature in general to check out the documentary 'Special When Lit', it's a fascinating insight to where Pinball came from and the fandom and characters it created and how it survives in the modern day.

Hi metal Jesus, I haven't made any comment before, but I love watching your video's for years now. I grew up in the 80's and still can feel the passion for the 2600 I had back in the day. I also love the sound, look and feel of classic arcade machines so please do a video about that. Your channel is great, I think you are an awesome guy and you also have wonderful guests on your show. My favorite video is '2600 games that don' t suck' and maybe you can also do a video about the Colecovision once. That thing blew my mind when it came out in the early 80's. I can still even remember the smell of the box when I got mine :-) I thank you for all the fun I have watching your video's!

I'm in my mid-50's and grew up in the 1970's. That is with those electro-mechanical pinball machines, with the 'ting ting ting'. Some people prefer those to the later ones, because with those ones a player knew what to do, to play for. Wheras, with the later ones that isn't clear.

Growing up in Chicago, pinball was always more prevalent than arcade machines with such companies as Bally, Williams, Midway, Stern, etc hailing from around there. As such, it's been my dream to one day own a machine or two. Thanks for the video, Metal Jesus and giving me this reference for the future. Retro gaming has many sources and outlets, but there isn't the same love for pinball out there. I'm always excited to see what you'll cover next on your show! Keep up the great work!

I've always felt a bit intimidated by their complexity, but I'll make more of an effort to try out some machines in future. I've seen him in a ton of other game collectors videos giving people good deals and generally being a good guy, so he's a great addition to the MJR family. Looking forward to seeing Chuck in more videos in the future.

It works really well for being bult from such a limited budget. Fun as hell. I´d still love to have a real machine one day, but I don´t have the space or the money for it.

As a game developer I think you'd be very interested in going behind the scenes to explore how these games came together particularly when they went solid state offering greater complexity. There are designers and programmers that are revered to this day for their accomplishments in bringing these games to fruition. To fully appreciate these games there is a steep learning curve to become proficient enough at ball handling to start to examine the rules of the game and appreciate the many nuances and modes in the code. As pinball evolved it got faster, we saw multi-level playfields and much more complex rules even though they were working largely in assembly! It evolved to entertain the already proficient players of the day. We've lost much of that proficiency within the masses but if you have the patients to learn these skills I think you will find the lost entertainment treasures that are locked within these games.

Also for the repair stuff I recommend looking at the line cord before plugging the pin in. I had a line cord that some one had cut and then spliced it back together I changed it out before I even plugged that in to much of a fire hazard. It was on a EM pin. And also checking the fuses. I do not know how many times I have found over fusing from 10A, 15A, 20A and even a 30A fuse. The solid states generally only use 8A max. The EMs however do use 10A, 15A but never exceed 15A. The manuals and or schematics should tell you the amps a fuse needs to be. And the 250V is fine just needs to be right Amps. There is also Fast Blow and Slow Blow fuses you have to be mindful of. Again the manual for the game should have that info in it. And some times on Solid States the fuse stuff will be on or near the boards.

We unfortunately had to retire it as it was always breaking down after many years of hard playing. Adams Family was the 2nd game we got. I played the crap outta that thing! It was provided by a coin op business to be used in our restaurant. When we decided to return it, we were given the opportunity to buy it for $500 around 2007. We didn't buy it.....a decision I regret heavily......so sad

I should also mention that Firepower, Gorgar, Space Shuttle, Twilight Zone are all games that come on PS3 & PS4 Williams Arcade games. It is really interesting to play the games on PS3 or PS4 first and then play the actual pinball machine. Both can be tons of fun, but the most helpful thing about the video games is they can help highlight the different achievements in the game and tell you what skill shots will bring about the most points. I also saw pinball machine Black Hole in the background towards the end of the video, that is also in the Williams Arcade for PS3 & PS4, that one is a bit of a mindbender and I would've love to have the chance to play it on a real machine one day! Again, great video combining two of my favorite things! Stick tap to you Metal Jesus!

Sweet video! I just purchased my first pinball machine this winter. Its Data East's Laser War (1987), the styles are certainly dated but guess what, its part of what makes it cool and fun. Its a solid state game and I paid about $1,250 for it. Mr. Van Pelt is 100% correct about the dot matrix boards fetching a lot more money. At a minimum those games go for about $3,500 or more. Also, I'd say as smart tip for any person looking to purchase their first machine, if you know anyone close by who knows how these machines work have them check it out before you buy it. Think of it like having a mechanic friend test drive it, they'll be able to tell you what's wrong so you don't end up with some expensive repair off the bat. If you don't have someone you know with that sort of skillset, watch some KZbin clips on the game (I'd recommend some of the TNT Amusements vids) because they can give you a lot of helpful information on things to look out for repair and condition-wise. Buying a pinball machine has been great and no offense to video games, but I've seen young and old crowd around my pinball machine and play for hours. The instant response and the natural competitiveness of it just makes it fun and social. Thanks for this video, lots of great information!

I didn't know Gorgar actually exists. I thought it was a name that Helloween made up for their song, just an evil-sounding name they came up with. Awesome!

Awesome! For me the first pinball I'd want to get would be the mid late 90s Star Wars (ANH) one and then one of those early purely mechanical ones.

Awesome to see a pinball vid from u! I've really gotten into it this year. Playing some tables for The Pinball Arcade on my PS4 had me thinking, man I really wanna go out & play the real thing..So low & behold I stumbled onto Pinside.com with the map feature where you can type in your city & pull up a list of all businesses around you that have machines, which ones they have & even comments on their condition..It was all over from that point on & I've been making stops all over town haha..The best by far is a new place called The Pinball Lounge with 14 tables, who just got the brand new Ghostbusters machine, can't wait to try it

I have a friend named Bill M. who is your long lost twin. Please let me know if you ever find yourself in the southern Nj area. You guys need to meet each other and someone needs to film it. I don't just mean you two kind of look like each other, I mean you look and sound like each other. Voice, hair and goat, stance, and mannerisms. It's NUTS. Im going to show him this vid next time I see him. Let's make this happen!

I loved pinball machines as a kid but it's not something you see at all anymore here in Sweden, nor would I have any room for them personally. That's why I appreciate some of the good digital ones like Pinball FX2.
