    Here's a quick review of Bally's Theatre of Magic pinball. This game was released in 1995 and was designed by John Popadiuk. John also designed Cirqus Voltaire and Tales of the Arabian Nights. This game features a pretty cool trunk target and tons of magnets. John is currently doing a pinball with Ben Heck and is releasing a sequel to this pin called Magic Girl.

    One of the best pinball games of all time. I worked in an arcade at this game's launch and it was cutting edge. Excellent theme, music, sound effects, and most of all, gameplay. It's magic! Also Addams Family, and Twilight Zone, and Star Trek TNG were the top pinball games of the 90s. Elvis was pretty good too.

    I love the way you talk the history of a certain game/pinball. Very informative and your vids are a joy to watch. BTW! I love the owl sound on the intro of your videos!

    Crikey! excellent review John. Loving this on Pinball Arcade. I was the Aussie that was on Video Game Outsiders Episode 120 something aka Vegimite and Cheese on toast :)

    It's a good review, but at the very end, when John mentions the Ripley's Believe it or Not! table, he says its from the 90s. It's actually from 2004.

    This is one of the best pinball games I've ever played, fast, challenging, with so many features! When challenges started opening up, it's brutal, and I agree the 'magna-save' was really magical thematically when activated. The design and voice were enchanting, it always felt nice to advance to the next levels while avoiding the dreaded drain.

    There was a restaurant called Hoops in Auburn Hills, MI that I went to and they have that pinball machine and I was playing the heck out of it.

    Awesome game, John! This was my favorite in the arcade. Actually, both your whirlwind, Theatre of Magic and RFM are great machines! Your lineup certainly doesn't disappoint! I can't wait for the next vid!

    i love that pinball arcade added this to its tables, John, have you ever heard of this i know youd rather play the actual tables but for someone who doesnt have good access to pinball tables this game is a godsend :3

    Pinball is great but terribly expensive.

    This is fantastic. Great stuff! I have only experienced this game on my PS Vita, and it is incredible. So cool to see it (if only secondhand) in reality. Thanks!

    Great Edition! I'm a big fan of Cirqus Voltair its one of my fav's but it seem rare and half the time it is broken. :( ..... I also find FunHouse to be a big fav! I'm going have to say I like your Pin's more than anything.

    Feels like you haven't keep this game for long in your collection. I also recall you mention not liking this game anymore in a more recent video. What makes you change your mind about this game? I'm asking because I owned one that I just sell for some reasons, but just want to know yours first ;)

  • @chevelle396guy

    Excellent review.
    I'm soooo glad they didn't get the David Copperfield license. It would have detracted from an already wonderful game.

  • @Johnsarcade

    Because it's too damn expensive! :D

    I like to get this pinball game. Problem is, it's one of the more expensive games and a lot of Pinside listings have them over $8,000, which I don't have just laying around.

    • @Johnsarcade
      @Johnsarcade  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I really didn't like the game ultimately. I would recommend NOT getting it. There are way more fun pins out there that cost less.

    Nice video John but "artwork done by a woman"?! You should have mentioned her name- Linda Deal (aka Doane). Let's hope your wife doesn't see this!

  • @The_Black_Knight
    @The_Black_Knight 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Weak game, nice art package. One of the games that draws novices, because they do not need to know how to play. Shallow ruleset, can be beaten in one ball, with no real wizard mode. Overpriced. Owned it for history, had it for 4 years, sold it for IMMENSE profit. Same for TOTAN. John Poopie failed nicely on "Magic Girl".

    God, no wonder there's such an energy crisis when people like you are running so many electronic devices and not even using them. Wonderful review and kudos for this beautiful pin game, but I'm just disgusted by the waste...
