Tracking via the revamped EXTT v0.50. Mult sweeps now track much better. YM2151's DT2 still has room for improvement

An old corner store by my house had this machine in the corner. I remember all the tunes vividly!

Amazing!!

[@JerryAGreene]

I had the actual machine in my basement for many years. Amazing music!

[@jbponzi1]

Amazingly fun table.

This sounds like a Sega Genesis video game music.

Plenty of pinball and arcade machines from the era used Yamaha YM2151 sound chip. Sega Genesis/Megadrive uses Yamaha YM2162 sound chip. They both sound similar to one another, if given same data to play the music.

One of the best pinball music.

This sounds like the Nintendo NES version of the Pinbot game. I replayed it yesterday. The only reason I can't say if it's exactly the same is because some of the music isn't as noticeable when you are also hearing the sounds of pinballs flying around which adds to the music. However it is more likely the music is from the actual physical pinball machine.

@@SeohnAranys This music is from the pinball game, not from the NES video game conversion. There's no way the two can be confused.
And a big difference between the YM2151 and the YM2612 is that the YM2612 is a cost-reduced synthesis chip with its own built-in D/A converter. The YM2151 requires a companion D/A converter, such as the YM3012 or YM3014, to generate usable sound from the FM chip's output.

​@@Watcher3223 I figured it was the pinball machine but I did explain how I got them confused for each other if you only hear bits and pieces rather than the full thing.
Either way, I like the song from both the NES game and the actual machine.
Someone even made what I think is a good mash-up cover video of the NES Pinbot music and Tom Sawyer named:
