- Here is PART 12 of My Pinball Collection featuring the Williams classic TAXI, from 1988. Many of you have asked to see more pinball videos. So, here is a quick "close-up" of one particular machine in my collection. I hope you enjoy it and look for future installments coming soon.

I rewatch all your pinball videos every few years. They make me happy.
I went to an arcade recently and found a Marayln Taxi machine. And I freaked the hell out when I found it. Great game and glad I found the original version!
I just got Taxi in. I can't say what it is specifically I really like about it (as with most of the best pins it seems) but having some pickups being single shots, others being timed drop targets, and some shots being used for multiple goals makes it different to any other pin I can think of. Add in having to do it all without draining is really addictive and fun. "You give to me ride!".
Just tried this out in Pinball Arcade and have to agree, it's a very fun table. And yes, I'm yelling HEY!! when I get Gorbie.
Ahhhh, the Taxi game at the bowling alley, man, sure need to get a Taxi. HEY!! We had the same response every ttime we picked up Gorby as well.......... HEY!! Shooting pot games and playing Taxi and Fish Tales at the same time until 4 in the morning. HEY!! Give it to me, RIDE!!
One of my all time favorites, if not THE favorite. Would love to own one someday. Thanks for the video!
They had taxi at Godfather's pizza in my hometown in the mid 90s still one of my favorites
@darkinertia2 Thanks so much for the wonderful compliment. I'm glad you enjoy them. I have more planned.....thanks!
In the spinout, there's a skill shot if you land on 25 thousand, you will instantly pick up a passenger.
I like the way you've managed to get the designer to sign the back screen, so your pinball becomes a signed work of art. I would imagine your collection will steadily increase in value. I have my first vintage pinball from '73...I loved playing them in their heyday, and I might start a collection. Thanks for sharing and saving these wonderful machines ~ thumbs up!
It's cool that you have one with Marilyn!
Ah, Taxi... I had my own machine and lost it in a divorce. I sure miss it. Thanks for making the video.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
@drunkeykong12 I am going to mention them briefly in the final segment, but I won't be doing too much detail (that's why I tried to re-upload them in, at least, slightly better quality). You know? Ha ha.
Tanks.
Great stuff - I picked up a Taxi a few months ago in really bad shape so it's a labor of love restoration. Getting close to actually playing my first game on it. Jackpot display isn't working but everything else is - I just need to finish cleaning it and put it all back together. After watching this video I'm more motivated to burn the midnight oil to start playing it!
The best part of this video was the "Bucci's Arcade" banner that was on the wall at 8:02 that was obviously made with Print Shop :). Another great video, don't know why it took me so long to see this one. You can play my Taxi in Allentown in a few weeks! See you then Chris!
i remember i hated this table at first. I thought it was just too difficult. But play after play it grew on me. Now this is how i feel: :3
I picked up an xbox360 game today for 19.00 called Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Edition... it has around 13 Williams tables you can play... One of which is Taxi. Now, playing on a real machine is absolutely unbeatable... but this game comes about as close as you can get... check it out, you really cant beat it for the price. It also has Funhouse, Whirlwind, Black Knight, Pin-bot, bunch of others.
Can't wait until part 13. Keep up the entertaining videos.
My pizza place had this growing up in the 80s. So cool to see!
I'm not even a pinball fan, and I still find your videos absolutely captivating due in equal parts to your obvious passion for the subject and your superlative skill at video production. I've been considering starting my own game review series for a long time now, and I have to admit, it's videos like yours that may push me over the edge and convince me to actually get off my lazy butt and do it.
Keep 'em comin', man. I'm always happy to see a new video from you on my TH-cam page. (:
Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm really glad you enjoy the vids. It's great people like you who make it worth while. :) Thanks!
@controlcommerce I hope to have it finished in the next couple of days. Thanks for watching!
Hey, thanks Shaneus! I had fun shooting these little segments. I shot the entire series in about four total days (over two sessions). So, I'm glad they came out decent so I could edit something together. It is mostly my memories spewing out. Ha ha. Thanks for watching!
Hey does the game have a lot of speech?
Im going to Marathon your pinball videos havent really watched em yet cause Ive been saving them. I dont know too much about pinball but I always love the enthusiasm and passion you have for your hobbies that shines through in your videos. Black Knight 2000 is my favorite machine only because thats damn music and Shao Kahn demanding your money.
Really great video Chris. When Farsight released Taxi on their Pinball Arcade platform, I already knew a lot about the game from your video, and was able to get more out of it.
I was also able to spot the fact they decided on the "Lola" version rather than the "Marilyn" version, for obvious licensing reasons.
I've directed a fair few Pinball Arcade Fans to your videos, and I know there are a fair few of your youTube vids embedded on the forum. They are an excellent reference.
man i can't wait to hear you story regarding "The Getaway" Pinball machine, that is one of my favorites!
@dde12321 I will definitely mention DK in the final "misc." segment. I was proud to restore that one up. The first and only (so far) arcade I ever built up. Ha ha. ;)
I bought Wiilliams Pinball Classics for my 360. I finally got the chance to play it and I love it :) I wonder if I Will ever get the chance to play a real one
Great video 👍 watched the whole thing.
Always great watching your vids, Chris. I just put a deposit on a Cyclone and Taxi (Cyclone is to me what Taxi is to you).
I have a Taxi with a Marilyn playfield! I just spent the past week rebuiding the flippers and finishing up my LED mod. I wish my playfield looked as nice as yours, though.... The paint below my Marilyn drop targets is pretty worn. Same with the Drac shot. I'm currently putting money aside for when CPR releases their repro Taxi playfields.
sometimes i go to a arcade up in new hampshire called "the pinball wizard arcade". They still have old pinball machines including taxi
@Diskoboy1974 Thanks for sharing and watching!! :)
@XRATED1984 Ha ha. Well, there ya' go! Thanks for watching!
@Wyrdwad Definitely do your own game series. You know? Just have fun, do your "own thing" and....hopefully people will enjoy it. I don't know how anyone can listen to me for more than second or so...so...I am honored anyone likes me at all. ha ha.
Take care.
Great stuff as always Chris. You always have the best pinball video reviews.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching.
@silkvein Hey, that's great. I'm glad you enjoy them.
Ugh....I'm sorry but....I can't really give you any advice on what game to get. You need to get one that you enjoy (there are WAY too many out there). You know? I would scour the Mr. Pinball Classifieds and the Internet Pinball Database and maybe use both to research prices and machines. :)
Sorry I couldn't be more help. But, thanks a ton for watching!
@quotetoe Wohoo!! Hope you enjoy it and thanks!!
@bosnia91 Who knows. Ha ha. I'm sure the Monroe estate has more money than Williams Electronics maybe. Ha ha.
Thanks for watching! :) :)
I'm just gonna be honest with your chris but your videos are soooo well done
@PressStartComic Thanks my friend, as always! :)
@pookieizzy7 Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. It's a passion and a true addiction...I miss collecting and can't wait to again someday. :)
@shadowflame1976 It is the next...."next" vid pinball-wise. Should be up in a month or so (next one is Diner coming this week). :)
I have to say man, watching your pinball reviews is a treat. I recently was at a garage sale, and this old couple brought me into their home and let me play their original Funhouse pinball machine. that experience coupled with the enthusiasm you show in these videos has inspired me to pick up a machine for my personal arcade. any tips on some good machines for a beginning collector? A good all around machine that isn't too insane on the wallet?
@up0 Thanks for watching!
Yes, you DO feel like crap when the spinout rolls over to 1,000. By the way, I didn't see you at the Allentown Pinfest this year. I always go since it's even walking distance from my house!
@taternuggets1 I actually found that the Williams Pinball Hall of Fame did a pretty good job keeping the physics of the original game. Obviously, it is still WAY off in some ways (and could never replicate the way they actually feel). They definitely surprised me...especially for the price. I totally agree, snag it! :)
Thanks for watching.
Excellent my friend!!! Cyclone is a fantastic game and honestly...it is one nostalgic-heartbeat-down from Taxi (some day I hope to snag a nice one to put side-by-side). :) Enjoy and thanks for writing.
Oh I commented before the end of the video XD You touched on that.
Love these videos. And I love Taxi. But I only have the digital version, wherein Marilyn is called Lola. I guess for legal reasons. XD
@spida1a No problem man! I actually prefer the "hunt" in the end. Been checkin' out the Mr. Pinball site as well, and it is a gem for sure! I'm torn right now between a Funhouse, an Earthshaker, or a Rollercoaster. I think I'll just wait to see what pops up on Mr. Pinball and let fate make my decision. Mad props though man. One of these days I'll have to man up and get my RetroRoadshow channel running so I can join you cats in all this fun.
@DJvonGoudufill94 Very cool. Love the game. Thanks for watching!
Cheers Chris, you have a Marylin!!
Got the dvd today thanx chris
Great, great great!! I thnik in the same way,.
I also own a Marilyn Taxi, restored it, and I will never will sell this beloved machine!
@jasejaw Depends. Have you ever worked on pins before? If not, I would say "no" and "yes" (unless it is related to the board inside the head). :)
I was, yes. One spec of ONE insert came off but was lightly touched up. Otherwise, holding my breath....it came up nicely. But, I HATE removing the stuff and rarely do it. It scares me. ha ha. Thanks for watching!
@djsreview Thanks. I try to relay my memories more so than "gameplay" with the pinball vids Ha ha. Thanks for watching!
Great video! First one of yours I've watched, but with your enthusiasm and interest, I'll definitely be watching more :) Unfortunately, never seen a Taxi pop up on eBay here in Australia, so they might be one of the rarer tables (if it came out here at all). But great to (practically, kinda) experience it on your video. Well done.
Dude, these videos are great. :)
I dig this game.
@gohan4916 Thanks for watching!
Interesting video and story. Thanks for sharing
@Quakeman224 I hear you. There definitely isn't much of it anymore. Different world...ya' know? :)
Thanks!
@spida1a You're makin' progress now!
Taxi is a pinball machine I want home! ;)
@TrueSoreThumb Lol! I have an annotation up about it at the beginning. :)
i love your videos and i watch them literally constantly! im not good at reading the rulesheets they always confuse me but you break it down perfectly! btw would you be able to make a video on general pinball tips and tricks? ive seen some people do some crazy shots before and im guessing most people have a general strategy for pinball...all i go for usually is multiball lol thats what i was addicted to doing when i was a kid and its always been my fave thing to do
i remember playing taxi when I was in college... it was definitely one of the fun table... although i've never gotten the jackpot.
Wow... you have the limited edition. Only about 300 were made!
@spida1a
you know, I will have to look. This machine came from a collector and he had definitely made several revisions. I can look and see or send you a few pics to an email if that would work- just PM me. The machine in question is shown playing in my videos.
Great vids, keep em coming...
@Spuweee Hey, thanks for sharing! :)
@drunkeykong12 Well, there's 3 more pinball videos, 2 of which you saw in the preview for 2010, Getaway and Whitewater, and there's also Funhouse.
@BarbieOnWeed Thanks a lot!
@samo0701 Thanks my friend. I hear you.....I can't believe how that game has retained its value all these years (especially with SO many of them in production). Ha ha. :)
@raindog151 Thanks my friend!!
@spida1a
Speaking of- we've had our Pin*Bot for a while now- and the other night while a buddy was playing it he tilted- and it said the tilt message "I Tilt, you lose".... freaked us out- we had never heard him say it before...guess every day is a school day huh?
Simple fun fast table.
Hurricane is "okay." I'm not a giant fan of it. But, for $900....that's a sweet price for a dot matrix game. You know? :)
@theRVGN Ha ha. IF I had to sell something and didn't need much money, probably Johnny Mnemonic. But, I love the game.
Great video's , Taxi is my most nostalgic Pin too. I'm glad to finally have picked one up last year. Just got a JM last month and a NBA fastbreak a few days ago.
Can't wait to see the next video's How many left?
@spida1a
Hey Chris, you were right- he says 'Tilt- all data lost'. Happened last night at about 5,400,000. *sigh*
@simplyvk Hey, thanks my friend. Good stuff!
Ha! I just watched Rocky 3 ironically. Love Paulie! :)
Take care.
Nice review wish I had a Adams family
@srarcade It was called Eastway Lanes (is still there). ;0
I had a Twilight Zone for a brief time. But, I currently don't have one. :) Thanks for watching!
@naikanomtom Yeah, some people said they were having trouble viewing it. And...I think I might have accidentally deleted it in the confusion so. Oops. :)
A friend of mine went to MR's house for an interview and they got autographs for me. :) ):
@newkillergenius Wow. I have never heard that particular Tilt quote before. I've only heard "Tilt...all data lost! Tilt...all data lost!" Which ROM revision are you using? Just curious ;)
@bend3 Ha ha. I was always carrying my camcorder around with me. So, it was more "for fun." Always making silly videos, you know? Little did I know years and years and years later I would have some nice little clips to choose from for other projects. :)
Thanks a lot!
Cool, hope to see them soon. Thanks for the reply. I know you did the review of BBB and Family guy, Is there any chance you will do a "My gameroom" segment on either. Or was that about everything you really had to say about them?
Thanks again, keep up the great work!
@newkillergenius Ha ha. I love his quotes. "Pinbot...stranded!" :)
See that Terminator 3 pinball machine is Skynet.
@black44a The only thing I can say is try to find games to play and decide for yourself my friend. I really can't answer that one for ya'. :) :)
@TheCrulZ2348 If he had anything to do with the game, it would be on this one too! :)
Just bought my first pinball machine, and it's a Marilyn "Taxi". My playfield is pretty decent overall, however, I'm interested in how you went about having the playfield redone?
Do you still have the collection? That'd be awesome if you started to add more machines.
Hey Chris, what was the bowling alley you played this at not far from Putt-Putt?
