*Addams Family pinball becomes an all-time bestseller* *Hires a guy named Gomez shortly after* I swear life just writes itself sometimes lol

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

I remember playing Pinball 2000 Star Wars: Episode 1 at my home town's bowling alley back in the early 2000's and actually thought it was cool.

[@user-di7sk7hp2k]

Been pinball repair man for 15 years, this story touched my heart! Thank you!

[@RETROCENGO]

I know what you mean buddy. Sad how Williams closed

[@parkerbohnn]

You would have loved me, I've broken more pinball machines and flippers and even flipper cores than anyone else alive. In my prime I could snap a complete flipper core with two taps my hands and fingers were that fast.

[@jaytomson7052]

Pinball must resurrect.. it connects buttons and physical reality into understanding.

[@904PinballZine]

I literally make a living from pinball on location. Pinball Is Not Dead!

[@BootsORiley]

Live streaming and incredible games from Stern like Godzilla, Rush, Avengers Infinity Quest, and the Mandolorian have resurrected pinball yet again. It’s 1,000% not dead. Covid ironically had a lot to do with it

[@simonvoigt8261]

Hi to Cameron Silver, who was one year above me at RMIT. Thanks for showing the ins and outs of Whitewater at Timezone Bourke Street. Just last month I got my first pinball machine JJP's GNR LE.

[@delanoarts3703]

I really want to try those 2000 pinball games they look super fun I wish they were a success

[@MrMopar244]

It's 2022 now and I have both AFM and RFM in my home. I am waiting for someone to build me the next martian game to the series.... I will pay whatever it takes! This is a great video and needed to be made! Thank you to everyone involved!

[@vlo6973]

Thx for sharing this story, being not just a fan by heart but a "restore by passion", this triggered emotion. Let the ball kept being shot by gamers of skill.

[@craigdavidson5613]

Well, I happened to find a copy of this documentary on DVD at a local Charity Shop. It only cost $2AU, and well worth the money spent, given its jam packed full of features!

[@blackdaan]

i feel bad for those trying to save the unsavable.. so sad.. i still love pinball

[@russellj.s.257]

Pinball rules!

[@moobutt]

Somebody was channeling their inner Les Baxter for the soundtrack. LOVE IT

[@russellj.s.257]

I've been infatuated with pinball since I was two years old and I still play at forty five along with video games like Space Invaders,Galaxian, Asteroids,Galaga,Pac Man, Donkey Kong,Ms. Pac Man,Dig Dug and Elevator Action still enjoy it all and I will when I'm in my 50s,60s,70s and will not quit until it's time for me to leave this world.

I made the German Subtitles for the DVD back then. They weren't good, but you know... 15mins of fame. 😅

Awesome video! Thanks for posting!!! 😃

[@RETROCENGO]

Most welcome and by watching the video you actually support the team that has the rights to it. Amazing pinball history

[@conkysamsquanch]

I am a hardcore gamer and a super pinball fan. I loved pinball 2000. I felt like it was mad just for me. My favorite pinball machine of all time is AFM. I remember putting the AFM and Revenge From Mars sound bytes as ringtones on my flip phone at the time. I also really enjoyed episode1 pin2K. I would love to see stern,JJ or someone take a shot at something like this again.

[@hectorcastrejon]

Amazing my friend. Thanks a lot! I had just received this DVD I got from Ebay when I saw this 🤣

[@RETROCENGO]

It’s a great documentary, I’ve given all rights/commercial income to the producer/owner off this video, hope they will leave the video online😊

[@kruks]

Interesting that Stern's vitality made it into the credits, this being made in 2008 and Stern being more successful today than they were at that time (and Jersey Jack Pinball and Chicago Gaming Company releasing successful machines alongside them). Stern just recently announced a new table, Venom, after all. I don't know that pinball resembles what it did in the midparts of the 20th century or the mid 90's, but it's certainly a better world for pinball today than it was in 2008.

[@RETROCENGO]

Stern pinball is crushing it in 2023

[@28russ]

I'm happy to see Stern aren't the last pinball manufacturer anymore. There's actually quite a list. Present American Pinball Chicago Gaming Company Dutch Pinball Haggis Pinball Homepin Taiwan Co.

Interested to see how Pinball Brothers make out. The Alien is smooth and beautiful. Their Queen prototype is what really caught my eye.

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

Pinball 2000 was ahead of it's time, Stern is doing that same thing with a color video display. Even for something that came out in 1999 i still see them occassionally and can't help but wonder how people must have reacted.

[@RETROCENGO]

How would pinball be today if Bally Williams continued making pinball machines?

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

@@RETROCENGO Stern would probably be in the same position that Sega/Data East was in the 90's, and Bally would be where Stern is. In fact I imagine Sterns modern tables would have become the standard in 2010.

[@marcovirtual]

This documentary is one of the few focused on these fantastic entertainment machines that marked many generations. Thank you very much for posting it! Would you know if it is available in a higher resolution?

[@RETROCENGO]

It’s an amazing documentary that all pinball collectors should watch🤩🤩 I had this from yeaaaaaaars back, tried to post it before without succes, but, now will full supporting the rights owner of this video, it has survived for some time here, and I’m thankful for it. So much great history/information. It’s from VHS, but yea a high res version or restoration would be great

[@moobutt]

OK, I love that small handful of early solid states that have chimes. But the early solid states with electronic sounds are booty! Straight ass.

Have both Pinball2000 machines in my gameroom, RFM is the one most played, but the kids like SWE1. They are ok machines, but a 90s DMD pinball machine is the better option I think. The new Sterns, JJP, CGC machines are even better, but so expensive.

[@PL-wg8co]

Its a shame pinball went down like this...

[@delanoarts3703]

Pinball 2000 revenge for Mars I want to play it is there any place to do that look amazing i wonder if there are any still operating

[@sursurrus]

there's one in Austin Texas, apparently

[@jonlanier_]

totally prefer the older style pinball... don't really care for the integration of video games.

[@antonvlasjuk3079]

Jon... Good thing Stern, and JJP put their LCD on the backbox!

[@niemand7811]

If done well, both old and new types of machines can be fun.

[@PL-wg8co]

Man, It was such a disappointing time in pinball when revenge from mars etc came out... Then pinball just tanked. Its too bad profit and capitalism had to tank pinball that way. There are some decent machines coming out these days at least.

[@aflhabalafhabab]

Wait, where is the extra 6 hours of footage? I heard that was on a second disc. It was years ago I heard about that, so I don’t know much about it.

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

There was never another disc. Like any film/video there are extra hours of 'B' roll but as is this video tells the whole story quite well.

[@williamgottlieb8723]

Pinball did not need to be saved: it also did not need any cheap gimmicks to be tacked on to it. Pinball only needed someone to believe in it. Gary Stern was the man who did just that, and pinball still exists because of him.

[@tdtrecordsmusic]

Cool Docu ! yea, it makes me think > life is tough > Life is tough enough concerning money that selling food & human resources(wood/metal/hydrocarbons) is a struggle > Selling entertainment is a whole nother level. The subjective nature of laughter/fun ... I have hope that one day we will be free, but money will have to be different. We will know we are there when things which don't make economic sense will be available. I would volunteer for pinball, but how will I pay rent ? When that sentence has an easy answer ... ... Same goes for soooo many other goods and services.

[@daTribbleMaker]

REALLY??? 240p??? On a doc about pinball? This should have at least been 480 as nothing has been shot in 240p since before the Chicago World's Fair (lol that's a joke SOME will get) Thanks for your effort tho.

[@RETROCENGO]

It’s a VERY old recording from VHS tape, if you remember them, I’m thankful we spill have this footage

[@daTribbleMaker]

@@RETROCENGO I am quite aware of VHS, BETA, and even videodisc. If you remember them. But I believe this came out after they went out. AND I was being snarky. As in wry sarcasm (as with the CWF) but I guess nobody understands the reference in regards to Pinball.. Young'uns ;)

[@will_it_work]

240P? Seriously?

[@RETROCENGO]

[@RETROCENGO]

Hey it’s an old vhs convention. It’s better then nothing

[@S.J.C._Entertainment]

Still perfectly watchable.

[@DriverGuy23]

Pinball 2000 sucked. The top of the playfield was completely lost with cheesy video effects which caused the playfield to be 25% smaller and the loss of ramps and habitrails. Nobody bought it, it’s a rarity to see them nowadays and when you do, nobody plays it.

[@RETROCENGO]

But rumors are saying RFM sold around 8-10000 and SW1 around 5000 units. That’s amazing numbers

[@moobutt]

Any amount, no matter how small, of Jar Jar is too much. He’s as awful as those damn terrible Ewoks.
