Another superb video. Good to see the two Cs. Capcom pinball inside the Cabaret Castle.

[@ericlohrke4792]

Enjoy that coffee! Next time, I'll make sure to include the New Orleans blend (with Chickory) for Frank. Honored to be included in this monumental video about sacrificing one thing you love for another... I sure want to play this pin one day, or see it emulated in the pinball arcade. Of all the tables to sell, though? I can feel the pain... Barbarella is way groovy... Adam Savage from Mythbusters, and Tested recently created a sweet replica of Barbarella's curved rifle. Go check it out...

[@NewLeaf88]

So much history behind this machine, I think you were mentioned in an article I read on Polygon.

[@tntamusements]

It's possible...I should look into it

[@chazzlucas6395]

TNT Amusements Inc I love this video, it's one of my favorites ... Great story TODD : )

[@tntamusements]

Thank you!!

[@bigclivedotcom]

Aaah! It was the electroluminescent driver that was making the noise. I could hear a high pitched whistling that changed rhythmically. Just like the sound made by animated electroluminescent material.

[@tntamusements]

bigclivedotcom Ahhhh!

[@stphinkle]

I probably played one of the original 1996 Capcom Big Bang Bar, King Pin, and Breakshot back in the day at the former Nickel City Arcade in Scripps Ranch, a neighborhood of San Diego. Nickel City was owned by Capcom at that time.

[@tntamusements]

They made 1000 Breakshot games so maybe that game but they never made King Pin and only 13 Big Bang Bars were made and the company folded.

[@stphinkle]

@@tntamusements Actually you are wrong about King Pin never being made because I remember playing it! Maybe it was a prototype or something released exclusive to Capcom’s own arcade (Nickel City)?

[@midnightclubx]

There's a Big Bang Bar at the Museum of Pinball in Banning, CA! Not sure if it's the prototype or the re-release, though. Even though the museum is only open for special events at the moment (like the coming Arcade Expo in January), all the pinball and arcade games are on Free Play.

[@tntamusements]

+MCX Jones Glad you are able to play one!!! You are one of the lucky ones!

[@brentwatier]

I found your channel recently and love every minute of it. Todd you are hilarious even when you're jokes are cheesy. Love the acting. lmao. Also love the knowledge of history about most of these games. Like seeing the layouts of every game and a little of the gameplay. Frank, keep up your patience with Todd, good job filming these videos. I'm trying to go through the list and watch every video, going to take some time though!! Say hi to all the crew for me. Brent from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Stay young at heart!!!

[@tntamusements]

Brent Watier Hi Brent!! Glad you found us!!! Hope to get you hopelessly hooked! Will do a shout out to you!! Keep watching! Todd

[@CosmicCountryboy]

I'd love to play this. Such a cool theme and concept

[@X-Gen-001]

BIG BANG BAR What an incredibly cool machine, I enjoyed the close up look.

[@tntamusements]

+X Gen Thank you!

I didn't cognize this pinball, it is... SPLENDID! i hope to find one somewhere. Thank you for this discovery! :-)

[@tntamusements]

[@mr2foryou]

Yep, Flippers in Grandy, NC has a Big Bang Bar that is playable to the public. Surprised the heck out of me when I walked in and saw it.

[@tntamusements]

mr2foryou That must have been a surprise!

[@obxfirediver]

Another great video! Thanks Mr T, and yes Flippers in Grandy NC has one you can play for 2 tokens! Awesome collection of games if you ever get down this way.

[@tntamusements]

obxfirediver Thanks!! Sounds neat!

[@DiamondGB]

Wow, me and my fiancee played lots of Big Bang Bar at the Pinball Museum in Baltimore before it shut down. I had no idea the game was such a rarity! Great vid!

[@tntamusements]

***** Very few can say they played it and even a much SMALLER amount of people can say they played it alot! COnsider yourselves lucky!

[@Riz2336]

What a great game. I really dig the theme of the game and the look of the playfield. The person who bought that is one lucky guy.

[@tntamusements]

I think he will be walking on air!

[@BensOnTheRadio]

Love this game so much. My only gripe is that left drain from the pop bumper area really slows the ball down. But artwork is ridiculously beautiful and awesome to look at. Music is there too. Must own one someday!

[@tntamusements]

Benjamin Woodring One day when you are a rich man! Unless it goes into production again!

[@BensOnTheRadio]

Or unless you want to get me one for my birthday!

[@TheKurtsPlaceChannel]

Nice video Todd. I love all the toys including the bar and dancing girl.

[@tntamusements]

SCIONIZER Yes...they did a great job with this game!

[@johansjostrand6026]

Great video as always Todd! You should do a tour of all the games in your basement!

[@tntamusements]

Johan Sjöstrand Thanks!!

[@hushdrops]

I had to do a double take when I heard Community Coffee as I didn't think it was known outside of the NOLA area, nice. Thanks for the videos, though when I first began to play pinball at age 7 in 1978 I didn't realize it until later but we actually had a really great selection of pinball to choose from including what now I'm finding out many of the more uncommon games such as Hotdoggin and Class of 1812 (form my grammar school to college years) widely available thanks to the former New Orleans Novelty Company (reading up I realized just how large of a role they played in pin distribution). Anyway thanks for the videos and about all we do have down here is really good food these days as well as music but sadly virtually no pinball.

[@tntamusements]

hushdrops Glad you like the videos!! ....we have more with COmmunity Coffee in a video we are trying to upload later today!!! Keep watching!

[@rubemjelber]

Great job

[@aekenes2128]

Have you guys ever come across the Goin' Nuts pinball machine? If you do please make a video. I love watching you guys explain the features on these great pinball machines. That one is so rare it would be cool to see one of the ten that were made.

[@tntamusements]

Yes...we would absolutely made a video if we found one!

[@BAKU2K2]

TNT Amusements Inc, I doubt that would be possible coming across a Goin' Nuts pinball machine, only 10 of them were ever made and only one known public location where you can play it... that location is the Pinball Hall of Fame in Las Vegas Nevada but the one there has a pop bumper that fails to operate so they may ship it over to be fixed.

[@all-stargamer3333]

@@tntamusements How about Kinpin. It's even more Rare than Goin Nut's with only 9 Machines.

[@vito]

Never knew multiball was a copyright. That's nuts!

[@tntamusements]

Vito Gesualdi oh yes! also patended are Funhouse Rudy's eye movements following the ball...Sterns Simpsons had to have a random head turn to get around that!

[@skyway73]

Great video, very enjoyable. The 'arrow lights' on the ramp are really effective, does no other table have them? Thanks for all the videos :)

[@tntamusements]

skyway73 Glad you liked the video! As far as I know...its the only use of those arrows or anything made with that material.

[@eagerphoenix966]

There is a big bang bar in delray florida and i never knew it was so rare until now

[@lewistonmaineiac]

BigBig Fan , wow really really like this Pin. Amazing Movie Boys. Keep Tilting it! Boys

[@tntamusements]

Thank you!

[@Techspin]

Grew up with and got to play most of the classics in my local arcades in Canada... Now I'm in Taiwan, and they are rare as heck out here. Wish I could get anything like 90's or more recent... shipping will be extremely costly though...

[@tntamusements]

***** We can ship to a seaport in Taiwan for just $600! You would either pickup there or arrange delivery. You probably will have a duty tax too. But its possible!!

[@Techspin]

TNT Amusements Inc Very cool. I'll see about getting myself a Christmas present this year hopefully. Really amazing amount of work you guys put into restoring your machines. One of my biggest concerns is getting maintenance out here, but that's put to rest with your team!

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

***** similar issue in UK until I was lucky enough to stumble upon Soecial When Lit Pinball Club near me.... NO B.B.B but many long-term enthusuasts and vendors/ lovely ppl.... and an ever changing collection of 15+ free to play machines... If it wasnt for Pinball arcade, Tatty Adams and TNT I wouldnt have found them! A hidden Gem! Love n Light to ALL Salisbury Dan

[@BAKU2K2]

I found some differences between the original and reproduction versions of Big Bang Bar, The electroluminescent lights on the reproductions ran on 12 volts while the original ran on 24v, the tube lady on the repro was 13% smaller than the one on the original versions because Mr. Cunningham didn't have any access to the original molds, and one of the most obvious ones is that each reproduction included a plaque on the right side of the machine although some operators covered the plaque with a scorecard.

[@tntamusements]

Thanks for the updates on this game!

[@MrOrangeman1114]

This game would look GREAT with purple LED spotlights. They give off a blacklight effect which would really bring out the colors.

[@tntamusements]

Interesting idea for someone to try!

[@ArcadeHunters]

There's two Big Bang Bars on location that I know of. The Sunshine Laundromat in Brooklyn NY and Flippers in North Carolina.

[@tntamusements]

Arcade Hunters A good reason to do your laundry there!

[@ForkLiftCertified]

I wonder if they are bolted down to keep them from walking off

[@shark64bait]

There is one on location at S.S Billiards in Minneapolis MN.

[@tntamusements]

***** Yes...Lloyd was one of us that ordered one back in 2004!

[@ForkLiftCertified]

I would love to visit SS Billiards some day, I heard the place got redone and is looking pretty nice, LTG : )

[@Ryanr75rc]

Nice Quasar in the back ground. That pinball machine is amazing such a shame Capcom decided not to make it :D

[@tntamusements]

Yes...I played it there...and LOVED it!

[@Yetimon]

Thank you Frank!

[@tntamusements]

Hamish Guthrey He appreciates you mentioning him!

[@DavidKyle]

I checked and the trademark for "Multiball" is now dead. Shocked it was ever issued in the first place. I played BBB last summer at Southern Fried Gameroom Expo. I must be weird, because I just wasn't impressed. Not saying it's bad, it just didn't wow me like other pins have. Still, another great and informative video.... and Sea Wolf guy never gets old.

[@tntamusements]

David Kyle Thanks!!

[@HumanCarBomb]

Just out of curiosity, how much do one of those go for nowadays?¿ Love your videos! Keep 'em coming!!

[@tntamusements]

If someone needs cash...maybe as low as 15K....but it would be hard to find one for that price I think....

[@ShermerHighSchool]

Love your videos :) You have the best job in the world :D

[@LJ7000]

Missing the orange hoops on the green tube?

[@valgalder]

Great game. For those interested, there is an actual machine on location at Sunshine Laundromat in Brooklyn. Definitely worth checking out!

[@tntamusements]

Something tells me there will be plenty of people washing their clothes in a certain laundromat in Brooklyn!

[@valgalder]

It's a great place! Owner is an avid collector and the laundromat is jam packed with classics in every corner they could fit, some of them even on top of machines. I couldn't believe it when I saw a Big Bang Bar in there, proudly on display.
