Very, very interesting video. Thanks for that, i'am now looking for this ugly game.

Genco was my Grandfathers company.

Great machine. I spent a lot of time on one at Uni in the late 80’s until they took it away and replaced it with a boring machine, then no machine.

Noticed this today on my newly acquired Lightning which has Bally displays. Never too late to say thank you, you’ve saved me lots of reading, great clear vid 😊

Looks more frustrating than fun, tb.

i love this era.... Haunted House, Xenon, Orbitor 1, Q*Bert' Quest, Embryon, Centaur, Spirit, Black Hole, Solar Fire, Punk, Paragon, Genie, Future Spa, and on and on very great very underrated games

Best pinball game ever made by Data East

Saw this game at Next Level Pinball and this was probably the most unique game/one that caught my eye the most out of all of them they had there. Sadly the novelty of it wears off extremely fast. Shame that it was produced in the '80s, could have made for an interesting play if it had more elements to it. The table was also not in super good condition.

Does you machine play the music that is played at the end of your video? What settings do I need to change to get my machine to play that music?

My game has stopped playing the music which is played at the start and the end of this video. The game still plays the sound effects, but no longer plays the music. I think that I might have accidentally changed a setting in the game when I pushed the test button. Do you know which setting I have to adjust or what I have to do to get the music to play again? It's the best part of the game.

Interesting and educational video. Thanks for posting!

I just purchased one of these machines. Loved your video, thanks for posting. Very informative.

Great video! Informative

love that slick bloodhound gang/frank black reference in there there....great video

What a trippy looking pin

This is a very good educational video the Gottlieb wedge head pinball machine. I grew up playing these wonderful wedge heads on location during the the 1960's and 70's and today in 20204, I have 25 wedge heads in my pinball machine collection today and enjoying playing just like "back in the day". Thanks for sharing.

In the lower playing field… under the center graphic of the blackhole… is there a magnet on the underside? It seems that the pinballs get slightly distorted in their travel when crossing that area. Thanks for the gameplay! This was a favorite of mine. I played it in 1982 as an 8 year old.

5:39 I LOVED the games that had the save-ball gate you could open! I always looked at like the game was playing more fair than most in that it not only took away your ball, but also gave you the goal to save it when other games would simply take it away. These simpler games are much more appealing to me. You can figure them out on the fly, rather than be confused by overly-complicated rules and games that have nothing but ramps everywhere, like most modern games. That's right, I'm old. 🙂

The chimebox is an awesome retro touch, wish more modern machines would have them.

I've got one but can't get it started help needed

Hell yeah Artie Shaw ❤

In 1933 ABT Autocount counted the score ;)

A lot of people consider this a novelty that loses it's luster after a single play. I firmly disagree. I believe orbitor 1 should randomly be thrown into competition. and i eagerly await Stern's Orbitor 2

How do you play Bad Girls? 1st you need to learn how to shoot ramps--no you can't. I would have been completely embarrassed if I shot ramps/targets this poorly. The 1st thing I would have done was to learn the timing of the ramps (without hitting the bumper posts over and over and over and over and over again). This was not good game play at all. I wish I would have seen this machine with a skilled player. Maybe then I would have got an idea if it was a good or bad pinger.

Si puedes controlar la fuerza del con la que sale la bola sigue considerándose azar? If you can control the force with which the ball comes out, is it still considered chance?

This and your last video of centaur are art! Please let us know how to do the same want to make my own sweet ass slow mo vid of my pins!

Great tutorial!

Dit is mijn droomkast. Ik houd niet van fantasie themas en irritante geluiden houd ik ook niet van. Deze kast heeft naar mijn mening de meest uitdagende gameplay in een thema die er gewoon heel goed bij past en zelfs de geluiden passen gewoon top bij het geheel. En de kleuren zijn ook niet zo schreeuwerig wat het geheel nog fijner maakt. Mooiste backglass van allemaal.. ik kan niet stoppen met het prijzen van deze kast. Bedankt voor het levend houden van deze kast. Het is een waar kunstwerk! ❤

I really want to visit this place someday. Your exhibits look to be the most interesting and thought-out!

A cool add to the early 80s pinball machines was speech.

That last mechanism that you show, how is it triggered and how is it used? Looks like some kind of time delay to do several things in sequence? This video is so well done, such a great tribute to the machine.

These old 'mechanical' games have a certain charm, don't they?

Where did you find replacement parts? I have one that needs some love and would love to restore it

does the blue ball detect score or anything anything? If it does, I’ve Been curious about how it would.

Probably my favorite em. Honestly insane how much stuff this game has considering how old it is.

I used to play a helicopter version of this game

I loved playing this machine.😀😀😀😀 The way the balls change direction in a split second really tested your skill

This is the last pinball machine I played back in the 80s the longer you play it the more noise it makes ,I got the high score and made that machine make noises no one had heard yet ,at one point my girlfriend told me everyone in the place was looking at me because no one had heard the sounds the machine was making yet.

the real crime here is vertical video which should be forbidden

You explained fuck all, sir :(

Nice video! Great explanation of the 'why' they made the backbox wedgehead.

The crazy ball collision double-drain at 07:06 immediately followed by the ball magically kicking past the closed flippers?! If I weren't watching it in slow motion, I would have been wondering WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

i really like seeing those zipper-flippers clap together in slow-motion!

Matt- I love you!!!

Salut depuis 3 où 4 ans mon grand père à se flipper exactement le même et il ne marche pas c'est triste de le voir dans cette état. Juste les lumières s'allume. Après il est à l'abri dans une pièce un jour je vais essayer de voir se qu'il à.

LOVED this game

g' day mate

I don't like this machine. But thanks for this video.

タイムマシン大好きです。現在も高田馬場ナツゲーミカドというゲームコーナーでプレイしてます。時々タイムマシンが何を喋ってるのか分からなくてずっと悩んでました。 おかげさまで喋ってる言葉が分かりました。感謝します(*'ω'*)

Nope. This is a game you watch play itself. Not much control with the flippers. And honestly, this thing was always breaking down. It spent more time turned off than actually getting played. It didn't spend much time in my local arcade.
