Great segment guys! A few corrections on the remaining prototypes. The segment you show at 9:04 is not an original prototype. That is a game I built from scratch at TPF 2017 (hence it has full playfield art). The software is also written using much more current technology. The other original prototypes (all whitewoods) of WB and Playboy are also no longer owned by Gene. Several years ago those were purchased by a private collector and are now in better playable condition than they ever were at Gene's. Otherwise, fantastic job documenting this important piece of history! Looking forward to the next segments! -- Jimmy
added links in description.. didn't feel like chasing the machines down further than what happened to them after Williams closed, first article I found was about Gene buying them..thanks for being cool about the footage usage!
@@CaptNRetro No worries at all! Super glad you found it useful! It was extremely wonderful waking up this morning and finding this video. You did the Pin2000 product line some justice here. Looking forward to the next one! :)
I was a wizard on the Star Wars Episode 1 machine. Sinked a lot of quarters in it at my local bowling alley after school. It was way after 1999 but I was happy to see a piece of my childhood still alive in 2015. I sure hope that machine is okay.
Honestly I wish Warner Bros or whoever now owns the Williams trademarks would sell it off to Chicago Gaming Company or some other successor company so we could have the brand back.
what a pity in the times i played pinball machine there were only three maunfacturers, namely, williams, gottlieb, bally in my opinion in that time the design of williams' machines were fair and favourable to players the style of design of bally's machines was want-you-to-die style gottlieb in-between williams and bally moreover, a point was not easily noticed the shape of ends of flippers of williams were acute (or sharp) those of gottlieb and bally were round-shaped which made the actual effective length of the flippers are shorter than length apperantly seen and therefore shorter than those of williams 好可惜 我打波子機的時候 祇有 williams, gottlieb, bally 呢三間廠 個人意見 果陣時 WILLIAMS D 機o既設計係對個玩家公平同有利 BALLY D 機o既設話就係 "想你去死" 型 GOTTLIEB 就係兩者中間 重有一樣嘢, 好多人留意唔到 就係 WILLIAMS 機D腳個頭係尖o既 GOTTLIEB 同 BALLY 機D腳係圓頭 令到佢哋D腳o既實際可用長度比起睇上嚟短 同埋D腳係短過 williams d 機
you raise some great points! Thanks so much for watching! I love all games..old EM's and modern SS's..banana flippers, round, carrot..shorties..bring em on!
"innovative integration of pinball and video" I guess innovative doesn't mean good. I fuckin hate these things, I hope you highlight the fact that you can't see shit thanks to the terrible black levels on the monitor they use.

I was going to say everything Jimmy said. He is THE future of Pin2000!

A long time ago.
The 2000s are an awesome series of pinball machines. I never get tired of watching them. Great work on this episode Captn.
Williams could have made a Matrix pinball machine with this system!
Here’s to season 2. I’m thrilled to see the traction this series has achieved. Good times. Great taste. Of McDonald’s...
it's slowly building steam
Hey, CaptNRetro! The only Williams Pinball 2000 I ever played was Star Wars: Episode 1!
A possible Pinball 2000 option would have been Batman Beyond.
I think Magic Girl or whatever that was was my favorite. But the Philip Dick Total Recall nuttiness was cool too.
thanks for making these man, really brilliant. production constantly getting better - also holy shit, Dialed in the missing pin 2000! :D
thank you for watching
I'm going to try and talk my father into subscribing to your channel using this video
I wish I could give you another like for this
@@DeaDGoD_XIV I appreciate that man
@@CaptNRetro pinball doesn't get the love it deserves
Man, those pinball machines were great!!!
Honestly I wish Warner Bros or whoever now owns the Williams trademarks would sell it off to Chicago Gaming Company or some other successor company so we could have the brand back.
Here's an old interview we shot with Gene Cunningham, talking about his company and Pinball 2000:

Should have made a pinball slot machine. More points scores payouts in coins.
There are 2 George Gomez interviews on my channel!
Which ones?
Th ask for that very interesting. . Love my revenge
what a pity
in the times i played pinball machine
there were only three maunfacturers, namely, williams, gottlieb, bally
in my opinion
in that time the design of williams' machines were fair and favourable to players
the style of design of bally's machines was want-you-to-die style
gottlieb in-between williams and bally
moreover, a point was not easily noticed
the shape of ends of flippers of williams were acute (or sharp)
those of gottlieb and bally were round-shaped which made the actual effective length of the flippers are shorter than length apperantly seen and therefore shorter than those of williams
好可惜
我打波子機的時候
祇有 williams, gottlieb, bally 呢三間廠
個人意見
果陣時 WILLIAMS D 機o既設計係對個玩家公平同有利
BALLY D 機o既設話就係 "想你去死" 型
GOTTLIEB 就係兩者中間
重有一樣嘢, 好多人留意唔到
就係 WILLIAMS 機D腳個頭係尖o既
GOTTLIEB 同 BALLY 機D腳係圓頭
令到佢哋D腳o既實際可用長度比起睇上嚟短
同埋D腳係短過 williams d 機

Rise? I think not
Mark Of The BEAST technically.. by being made .. it rose.. it fell very quickly
So basically Jar Jar ruined pinball. Typical.
sounds fair
