    Star Wars Data East is the real Shiz Biz! You could get the kick back on the left and the dead save from the right outlane and play forever! I remember getting over 130 ramps one time but it never got old!

    Guys, you need to update this list, and talk more about the pins you pick, love this video👍🏻

    Zach, I'll defend ya on Ghostbusters man! I swear every shot you make is sooo rewarding.. and every bricked shot makes you feel dread. Perhaps it should get the award for biggest emotional rollercoaster of a pin. At the end of a game, makes me always want to roll up the sleeves and get back in!
    Now if they can only finish it off with a great wizard mode with some good scoring to go with it!
    Enjoyed the episode, and game on! - ScreaminSauce

    I have been playing The Shadow nonstop lately and agree how good that is even without pops. Overly proud of my 46 straight hits in the upper playfield. Where can I get my Sanctum tshirt?

  • @DarrinsDen2023

    The X-Files is a very underrated game. One that is definitely not made for people just getting into playing pinball as the ramps shots are hard to make, but completely doable. It does have multi-ball that isn't too difficult to start which can make up for the difficulty of the game in general.
    The code isn't really different from other machines. Start the modes and then try to make the required shots to complete said mode and repeat. Plus, throw some leds into that to machine to brighten it up and you get one hell of a light show. X-Files is what i would consider a "shooters pin" as accuracy is key. I have one coming this weekend.

    General comments: great show as always. Found myself agreeing with a lot of your choices -- the cream rises to the top. Haven't played many of the games so hard to judge them. All-in-all an ambitious show, well carried off. Thank you.

    • @Logan912
      @Logan912 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      “You ain’t thinkin’ of leavin’ now, are ya?”
      The only thing I don’t like about CBW is that the scoring can be very lopsided, and it’s better to just time out the modes to get to the Wizard mode unless you can easily get to double scoring.

  • @trosell2010

  • @collinmccarthy7938
    @collinmccarthy7938 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video guys! But Zach, I don't think funhouse is a system 11. It seems like one because of the display, but I think it is actually a WPC

    • @La4s
      @La4s 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely a WPC game.

  • @penguincamp
    @penguincamp ปีที่แล้ว

    Classic: Sing-Along. Color scheme and easy-to-understand rules combined with notorious drains and nudging requirements make it great for both beginners and experts.
    System 11: Funhouse. One of the most fun toys once you get used to it, like it or not, hitting Rudy in the mouth is fun
    Data East: Time Machine. Mainly because of the fake chimes on multiball being a cool touch
    Gottlieb: Street Fighter II. I get so nostalgic for this one, was one of the most influential games for me as a kid.
    Sega: Batman Forever. It’s like one of three Sega’s I’ve ever played.
    Bally/Williams: Medieval Madness. Attack from Mars is a better game, but Medieval Madness is more charming to me with the castle and the jokes and the artwork.
    Stern: Metallica. I really like heavy metal so a good pin with that theme appeals to me
    JJP: Pirates. Blew me away since I was only familiar with the Stern game.
    Spooky: Total Nuclear Annhilation because of all the cool little bells and whistles it added that normal pins didn’t have
    American: Galactic Tank Force because I respect the attempt to make a new IP and it’s generally a good game regardless
    Other categories: Revenge from Mars for Pinball 2000, Kingpin for Capcom, if you split classics into EMs and SSs then my favorite SS is Eight Ball

  • @covercalls88
    @covercalls88 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I started building my pinball bank from 2001and stopped in 2006 and of my 15 machines many of them landed on your lists due to Game play and decent prices such as Indiana Jones, Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Taxi, Lethal Weapon 3, Tales from the Crypt, Jurassic Park, and Rescue 911. Lack of space and rising prices kept me from buying anymore.

    Additionally: Ghostbusters is my dream theme. Got it when it was new. Sold it after one year (wich not uncommon for me couse I only have room for one game). since this time in my opinion you can only judge a game really objectively when you don't own it anymore. Because GB (Pro) is NOT packed. Yes it has the city, the firehouse, Marshmallow Man and stuff but that alls just "stuff". The only toy is a Slimer bashtoy swinging to a generic song and the rest is a lot stop & go gameplay. GB is the ONLY game (well, ok BTTF as well to be honest) I won't buy back again. I loved it wehn I had it, yet couldn't find me playing it the last 3 months I owned it. Was sad initially when it was gone, but now I'm really really glad.

    Shoutout to Dutch Pinball for Big Lebowski, a very fun game that you didn't mention.
    Thanks for the video guys, was a very fun one to watch. Love the videos where you guys talk about all sorts of different games. Would love to see a video of top 5 worst from each company video now haha.

  • @markhayes7147
    @markhayes7147 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks guys another great show. As for my data east I Really love Star wars, the price of these is going up every year there a great investment, then Jurassic park. I don't like the heavy metal bands and 90% of the general public don't either. Hey it would be great to do an investment profile show on what games are going up in price and where do the experts think there going, no one really talks about it but there not getting and cheaper and demand is slowly growing all the time. Thanks again guys, Kind regards Mark

    • @SDTM
      @SDTM  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      mark hayes thanks mark and great idea

    • @covercalls88
      @covercalls88 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Pinball prices seem to go one direction and that is up, of course at different rates. In my pinball bank, I do own Star Wars with a factory Darth Vader and Jurassic Park. Most important is the buyer a collector or player. I am a player so I can settle a little less in terns of condition. Deals can be had, but not by the dealers and a buyer needs to learn how to clean and repair their machines (if possible) to maintain their value.

  • @rask4p
    @rask4p 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Classic: Centaur! The artwork alone sets this game a part and I love accurate drop shooting.
    Data East: Jurassic Park
    System 11: Diner
    Sega: South Park (maybe the first pin I actually figured out and got somewhere in).
    Gottleib: Sharkey's Shootout
    Bally/Williams: White Water or Circus Voltare
    Stern: Ghostbusters (can't stop abusing myself with this game), but a re work of the art on walking dead would make it maybe the best game every made.
    JJP: Dialed In, but I still wouldn't own one until they actually put a game AND a theme together.
    Spooky: Rob Zombie, TNA is tons of fun, but not a home game imo and no one knows about Alice yet.
    I think Ghostbusters may be the best value in the used market over the new few years, because there's a ton of them in the wild and collectors aren't looking to buy them.

    @tompatten6440 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Honestly guys. I didn't finish the video. Zach bashing Gottlieb non-stop and saying they had no good tables was just too much for me. I've been hoping for more Gottlieb content and a Stargate and Freddy review somewhere down the line, but now that I know Zach hates Gottlieb it has left a really bad taste in my mouth, sadly.

    • @SDTM

    @timjohnson963 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I’m calling bs on the gottlieb review. It’s fine if you don’t like any system 3 games…fine. But then open it up to all ss gottlieb. Spirit, Haunted House, Black Hole, Class of 1812, Cactus Jack, Freddy, Mario Bros.,You’re coming off terrible. Gottlieb made some fine games and now at these prices are somewhat affordable. Freddy is a fine game with good callouts. You even said it was a nice cab. I stopped watching after that.

    • @zaceno1556
      @zaceno1556 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree, but I’m also assuming they hadn’t played a bunch of these when they recorded this… Alien Star, Tag Team are both great Gottlieb titles as well. If you can find a Bone Busters that works well, it’s also a fun game. Arena also pretty fun - I approach System 80 onward like their own beasts tho. So I find the fun in them.
