Pinball / Arcade Raid / Stash Africa Style!
So, in 2017 a mate of mine called me and the conversation went like this...
Mate - "I've found a stash of pinballs do you fancy going with me to take a look?"
Me - "Sounds interesting, where is it?"
Mate - "You'll never guess"
Me - "Give me a clue at least!"
Mate - "The last place you'd guess"
Me - F me mate, that's not a clue, Europe, Eastern Europe?"
Mate - "No, farther"
Me - "I give up, Africa!"
Mate - "Yep!!"
Me - "Shit, really, where in Africa?"
Mate - "The last place you want to go!"
Me - "Seaira Leone or Zimbabwe"
Mate - "Yep, Zimbabwe!"
Me - "Shut up, really!"
And so it began, apparently I was the only person he knew that was stupid enough to say yes! We flew out for 5 days with a plan, see the machines, do the deal, get a container there (already waiting for us to hit the button), load it and get the hell out of Dodge.
It didn't quite work out like that, we were picked up from Harare airport by the contacts nephew who's girlfriend said to me "do you like to party?". Now me being quite naive said "yeah, sure, whatever" so there began a 4 day bender!!!! Never done it before or since but what an experience. The deal wasn't done (they were a little bit slippery to deal with to be honest) and I think the machines are still out there but we discovered a phrase when we were there, "If its too fucked for Europe, send it to Africa" and these had had a hard life in Zim until Mugabe started his land grab, when you can't afford food you aren't going to be putting money in pinball machines!! Totally Fucked country with over 90% unemployment. Mad experience, wouldn't change it for the world :-)

Great shooter from Global VR, sorry for the length of the video but I wanted to run through the whole game, probably would have cost £25 to get through it in the arcade!!

Finally an update to the old Data East warhorse from 1994. Really immersive game with lots to shoot for. I had to "cut" in the start sequence from a game after the machine has been idle for a while or you miss the fantastic spotlight and camera flashes. As always from JJ solid build quality, fantastic light show and sounds although it is rather multiball heavy and features the band from the "no...

This machine is a hidden gem, looks fantastic (even though the theme is a little weird) with great early 80's sounds, 2 or 3 ball multi ball and those double rollover lanes, still can't get my head around them!! fantasy
Feiloli Shark Panic Arcade Game

Ok, so I know its not a pinball but here's a cool "whack-a-mole (shark)" game brought for the grandchildren (honest) that has a little more to it as you have to whack the sharks and not the fishes. Ably demonstrated by my granddaughter who when she first set eyes on it it said "I'm going to play this until I'm exhausted" :-)

Fantastic looking game from Gottlieb, an absolute beast of a wide body. Good fun for a while but play is very slow with limited sounds and single ball only. Great artwork though!

Fairly decent game from Stem designed by the imaginative Keith Elwin. Good fun to play but as always with the modern Sterns I find that I'm just not good enough (or competitive enough) to ever get near the end so I'll just stick with my old Date East JP :-)
Time Machine Pinball Machine. Data East 1988

One of the best Data East games of this era, great theme, call outs and light show along with the really cool feature that if you manage to travel back in time to the 50's proper chimes kick in, not complicated but fun, love it!!

Twilight Zone Pinball Machine Bally 1993
Переглядів 2,6 тис.2 роки тому
So this game belongs to a good mate of mine and I was hoping to get a "lost in the zone" game but nothing doing I'm afraid. I sold my TZ years ago (complete with the 3rd magnet I'd installed) as I'd always had a love/hate relationship with it. Still one of the greatest games ever made and developed at a time when money was no object. Crazy cool!!!! With prices the way they are I can't see mysel...

So I have had 2 or 3 Dracula's over the years but never really go on with it so it has never been on the radar to own again but I had the chance to video this one that I had in for a playfield swap. Custom artwork, playfield models and a pinsound board make it much more pleasing but the custom playfield I installed is something else, check it out at the end of the video and let me know what you...

Great quirky game from the Zaccaria lads in Italy! I played a Robot years ago at a show and when this popped up for sale I had to have it. Lovely bright artwork with cool sounds and robots, it gets very addictive trying to knock the pesky buggers down! It's like whack-a-mole in a pinball machine :-)

I'm not a massive fan of modern Stern's but to be fair this AIQ has quite an interesting layout. It has the usual baffling depth of play (well for me anyway!) so for a crap player like me its just shoot the flashing light :-) Oh, and if I ever manage to collect an infinity stone I'll let you know!

The lighting is amazing the visuals are well done too this is as we said one of the best ones so far it’s simple yet engaging
I'm playing this very table in VR (Pinball FX) and I'm completely hooked. Love the sounds and dialog... I have three versions. One from Pinball FX 3, Pinball FX, and Visual Pinball. "MOVE YOUR CAR" "HEY! GET ME OUT OF HERE" "IT'S DARK IN HERE" "HEEEEEELP!!!" "Five Million"
et dire que ici ont ce bat pour trouvé des pièces introuvable . j'ai trouvé la caverne d'Alibaba . la seule chance pour ces flippers ses qu'il sont au sec en afric
This is a gem
I loved this game but it was so hard to find. Most of the time it also had an “ out of order “ sign on it.
Love this one. Played it at Free Gold Watch near Golden Gate Park / Haight this week and as usual when there's one in the room it's where most of my quarters go. 😁
Nowhere near as good as Theatre of Magic? How? Part of me is genuinely curious because there might be a disparity between the two games that I don't know about so I'm keen to learn about it. And the other part of me is seriously questioning if people are wanting to just boast about their best game and trying to downplay a rare game for the sake of it. Points scoring, this is one negative that I can see with PM but I've seen some people also complain about it for ToM but not to a degree of worry. Stage Kick, also had this problem on the machine I played. And you have to give it credit for that being the biggest problem with the machine makes it relatively issue-free outside of that given the mechs is has. Failure to keep on top of maintenance is going to lead to problems and impact a perspective of a machine. And for the record, ToM's trunk is going to be beat to hell and back with trunk malfunctions galore so it isn't better in that regard.
the best pimball
I played with this in 1994
Looks like an interesting pin but that music does not fit this theme, I thought someone was playing paperboy in the background for a second :/
I have so many memories of playing this every Christmas and New Year's at my great aunt and uncle's house. 😊
Fanfare for the common man much
Lion man
Thank you for this......
Awesomesauce!
Ahh those were the days!! 28/7/24 spoke to Neil Marriott up at Whiteways Cafe bury hill w/sx , still likes a bit of speed , he was out on his Honda Fireblade ( i still call him " TANGO" )
Awesome, I live 5 miles from there and was up there on my (79) Z1300 a couple of weeks ago 👍 good to hear us oldies are still about 😂
@@tattyadams I used to go out with a girl who's dad used to go out with the water bowser , after filling the bowser from a smelly pond just to the left of the entrance into the track field . The only way to turn the water on was to stand directly behind the spray pipe to operate the lever , you can guess what happened😝😝😝
@@colinhead284 🤣 So it was you!!! 🤣 I remember that bowser well! I also remember being dragged back from the next field when I got fired over the bank at the end of the finish straight 😂👍. I actually won a race once (rare for me) in a 2L team meeting when I went over the finish line on my roof, good times.💜
Gi realay not work
Noticed that the playfield says Lola but the score screen says Marilyn, interesting. Is that a normal setting or a mod? I know there's a version with Marilyn Monroe instead of Lola but it's extremely rare
Excellent game on the best classic there is ! 8 Ball Deluxe.
Played this constantly in law school with the Dean
I wish the coffin lock was a physical one like the castle.😢
The reason thw hole in one os so hard is because pinballs don't fly. After all, "If balls were meant to fly, they'd have wings!"
I used to love this one and the Addams Family pinball machines. Both so fun to play, especially the multi-ball.
This machine always got my adrenaline going, and even the video game version manages to do so from time to time <3
A melhor máquina

Il più bello in assoluto ❤️
Sou técnico dessa área desde os anos 80, ainda realizo manutenção, sempre é um início. Inscrevi em seu canal...
I remember playing this at a skating rink in Michigan called Roller World. I can almost smell the snack bar's food while watching this. 😂good times.
Great looking machine and good playing!
Nice to hear him say near Chicago instead of lumping any suburb as Chicago
grew up playing this table at my grandparents house and just watched the actual movie last night. so weird that they made a pinball game based on actual people almost dying in space. the music and sound effects are great tho
0:24 train!
My mutiball never works can someone help
Great game mate
Williams shutting down its pinball division for no reason, leaving the pinball industry at a near death status even though the pinball industry was being saved because Pinball 2000 was popular to the point where Revenge From Mars was everywhere is the worst stupidest dumbest biggest mistake in the whole coin-operated game industry.
in 1994 got dragged on a family holiday for a week, there was nothing to do and then I found a nearly brand new Demolition Man pin. It was most of what I did there. Even watched the film which has turned into a cult classic too. Great game play and sound design, love this table, my second favourite behind Theatre of Magic.
Top 5 Pinball tables ever made....... only modifications that would make it unreal is if it had Iron Man in there somewhere as special features.. and voiceovers (that you could turn on and off)
El popeye estaba en los diana de san diego antes hasta que lo vendieron
Cool
Que de souvenirs, je joué a ce flipper au milieu des années 90, il était au fond de la salle d'arcade "Las Vegas" a La Rochelle. Je me souviens avoir halluciné quand je l'ai vu la 1ere fois car j'était un grand fan des Who.
Man what a cool game! I hope to have one of these in my collection soon!
The closest I could ever get to this machine again is play it virtually on Pinball FX. It's a faithful adaption and I play it for hours!
One of the best out there! Played it yesterday.
"Take a skill shot. You'll be fine." James Spader who played Dr. Daniel Jackson in the 1994 adventure film Stargate and in the arcade pinball version of Stargate.
