I like the original much better as the whole theme was to make the robot human and this one just feels like any new game with someone talking. In the original game when you got her ready to turn into a human and you heard say I feel strange and then the whole game turns dark and you hear that heartbeat start and that Voice start singing gives you that feeling of accomplishment.
No, he's completely right. I can't deny the ruleset is an improvement, but the soul is gone. except maybe for the metamorphosis itself, all the sensuality seems to be stripped out. Move Your Shuttle did get me to chuckle, but that's about it.
The origional was just so full of so much tension - trying to assemble and activate the robot. The speech worked well too; along with the comedic stuff like 'I can talk' and the reply 'Oh no!' from Pinbot. This just doesn't have that suspense for me and I'd much rather have the origional.
They have this at a pub that is walking distance from my home. I have ALL of the high scores and the highest is over 4.2 billion and 2 billion plus is needed to get anything better than the very lowest score on the "Billionaires Club". I often play an entire evening on just replays without even having to put more money in.
I came here today because I'm picking up a 2.0 next Wednesday. While I will prefer the original version better, to pick up a 2.0 totally restored with new everything for a good price, to me is worth it. Even if to just play 1.0 mostly. I love games of this era and have several - high speed, cyclone, pinbot, funhouse, etc. My new bride will fit right in! Of course I'm over 50 though... :)
I agree. I find the original music so catchy. It's what I remembered about the machine when I had the pleasure of playing it at a game exhibition! One day, I want to play it again. I hope I might find one somewhere, or maybe that game exhibition will come back! I'd love nothing more than to see that machine once again after recently learning so much about it!
@@tattyadams I have been BANNED from places (or effectively banned when one place made a 30 minutes per person per day on pinball rule) for getting too many replays on this machine (not this more computerized improvement the original). I often spend an entire evening at the local pub just playing replays and then come in the next day and if nobody has taken them play all evening on the replays from the previous day.
beautiful machine, love it! please do an install vid!!? also really like the sideart, is it available anywhere? hoping to do this mod to my machine sometime soon..
love the 2.0 decals !!! now you need the matching translite ! noticed you have a switch not registering to the mini playfield, and the head is turning the incorrect direction during multiball at the end of the video. shouldnt end on the first face.
I know this video is old, but your miniplayfield gate switches don't seem to register (especially the top left enter gate). The ball goes into the mini playfield when the shuttle ramp is shot but no locks are lit; and then progress is (should be) made towards the Videomode by spelling PIN*BOT.
There's only 3 wpc alpha numerical machines ever made. For some reason they all look exactly like system 11s. The original one of this looks exactly like a system 11b machine
You can switch between the original game ROM and the 2.0 with this conversion, so you have the best of both worlds. The DMD even switches over to simulate the old alpha-numeric display when the machine is in "classic" mode, which I thought was a nice touch.
That's a very interesting machine. I hope that eventually makes it into the Pinball Arcade. The original currently is, but that really looked like it would be a lot of fun to play.

im guessing that you havent played 2.0 or seen the metaphorsis on this version. check out the DP videos if you havent.
completely agree!

really love the sounds in this one. i wish i could get one xD
Music is so much better in the original version.

As you noted, the sound and visuals are amazing. Very nice transformation and very nice video as always.
Bride is one of my favorites, and this feels wrong.
I agree but if you press the left flipper button when you start a game it plays the original (and best) game.
@@tattyadams I'd love to see how the original version plays on this 2.0 machine! Any idea of where I might be able to see that?

@@Zurround They should have set the replays higher!!!!🤣
Bride of pin bot is a really fun game.

Just WOW!
I have the original BOP and I think I prefer it compared to this version, although the Dutch Pinball version also looks great.
Kinda creepy but I love pinball games
Is this a hack or a reproduction? I much prefer Dan Forden’s soundtrack with the MK I sound.

where you get this one????????????????????????????????????/
Bride of Pinbot is WPC, not System 11
Yes you are absolutely right, how could I have forgotten that! Change it, thanks.

When did someone ruin this machine. I liked its original form
And there are plenty of them still out there. I like the variation of experience.

it looks good and all but its just too much the sound is weird but the art looks nice but original looks better tho

It's limited edition I believe so
