- With only 1002 Torpedo Alley Pinball Machines made back in 1988, just how many of them survive today?? This stunning example of this little seen and played game will probably convince you to ant one yourself, once you see what fun it is to play and how nice it can look with a FULL restore like the TNT Craftsmen have done! Watch, learn, and enjoy!

Beautifully designed game, beautifully restored.
This looks like a really fun game! I wish I could find one in the wild to play. Looks great!
Todd, I am happy that you like the stereo audio. A great restoration of this game.
Torpedo Alley was my 3rd sound package for Data East and the sound system was getting mature and capable of a lot. Kudos to Lonnie Ropp for syncing GI to a lot of the music. It is a nifty effect. Just wait till you hear "The Hobbit". It will be spectacular on the JJP stereo sound system.
David Thiel WOW!!!! DAVID!!!! Thank you for posting! People are discovering how rich this game really is now...under appreciated back then, but it has come into its own. It's obvious you love your job with all the effort and details that are present in this soundtrack. I am glad I can expose so many people to this game....and we look forward to your continued work in the new HOBBIT--we look forward to this release!!
*Nice Work David, Torpedo Alley could possibly be one of the best tables Data East put out and "sounds" like that is thanks in part to you!*
i actually own this game, it hasn't worked for years and it's sitting above my dad's garage. as kids we had mastered getting the jackpot and actually got high scores that were more digits than the score board would show! i used to love the girl saying "well done commander!"
a very underappreciated game!
Do you want to sell your machine?
Like the look of the frosted LEDs you put in. That really upgrades the machine.
Never been a Data East guy, but this one looks just gorgeous. I could see this one standing right beside my TFTC (only Data East I own) just for the look of it.
Scythe42 I think many others now agree with you!
my world was a place in long island. I was at stony brook. met cool chick and took her to arcade to play pinball. not sure she liked it, but we played torpedo alley for a while. brilliant multiball. never saw it again. She was cool. Her friends were also cool.
The networks are out of their mind not giving you a show. I loved your pilot and eagerly waiting for the next one!
pixle101 we keep trying.....
That looks like a really cool game, surprised there wasn't many made.
Riz2336 Yes...we were surprised by the low production number too!
Awesome game! Would look great next to my Time Machine...
***** a good compliment for it!
Down Periscope such a great Movie. Nice looking game there Todd the Boys done Great on it
dvddmc Thanks!
Data east the best Pinballs ever!!! Sound,flippers mechanism electronic and real knocker sound
Christian Sebastian Gonzalez Many people agree with you!
Thanks from argentina !! Tnt the best !!! I love you
My machine is Jurrasic park with knokcer 50V!! adapted hahahahahha real sound
Christian Sebastian Gonzalez And there are MANY people who agree!!
Love your wife, such a character.
John Southern I love her too!!
Never saw this machine, really a pretty machine.
Harry Reimer Its neat to see something new to look for next time you find a pinball arcade! More and more will be opening up it seems.
Todd: I am a hopeless romantic you know ...
Pam: We'll at least you are half right, you are hopeless!
Finally! I have been waiting to see Torpedo Alley ... and it was worth the wait! Excellent machine guys! Not crazy about the models on the back glass, Data East could have done better there. I agree the foil sides really add to the machines visual appeal.
HerrKlugscheisser Ahhh...we LOVE our women!! This game has such a beautiful presence and color when sitting idle...a real looker!
I actually played this one at Golden Years Ice Cream Parlor myself but it was SO messed up. The right flipper return lane was missing and the slingshots didn't work. The owner of this machine SHOULD have properly maintained it despite charging 75 cents to play it!!!!!
Torpedo Alley is a one spinner game, It's got the correct style spinner on the left of the playfield, which is not correct. That's interesting, that someone located that spinner and decal and added that.
damn, thanks for straightening that out..I was wondering
You'd think..ahem, that the designers of the Pcb's would have the fore sight, to place the battery back up system, at the lowest point on the board.
But who are we, us mere mortals to suggest such a thing?.
Never seen or played this game. What was the final production run??. It looks sweet.
gallimead Yes...its very sad...Gottlieb was the first to embrace the lithium cell in 1989....and TNT Amusements was the second in 1999 (Pinball 2000 also used a lithium cell in the computers!!
dude i would of fixed the board .... im not sure about the chips working again , but u can clean+relfow and try them . maybe they can be bought too IDK. But even multi layered boards that are broke are fixable .. just takes time to jump everything. I use to fix cell phones with liquid damage all the time .. it was often 50/50 if they work again after cleaning ... just use 90%+ alcohol and a toothbrush. That board is HUGE with like HUGE traces. lol , u could break the thing in 4 , let it rush for a winter and it could still be fixed; given the effort. the board just holds parts and makes connections .. you could copy it with a piece of plywood and jumper wires. again given the time & effort
that is SERIOUSLY NICE & I do mean NICE, might drive round, around 3am one morning and break in to take it away, reeealy nice, drooool. nice funny vid
alan p I will leave everything outside next to the dumpster!
TNT Amusements Inc thanks Todd,, please ask your dear wife to leave a cup of tea as well, regards
The damage to the board is NOT from acid. Those are alkaline batteries (NO acid) and when they burst the alkaline corrodes the PCB.
slyy12 Slyy but, but.but....
slyy12 Slyy Damn cheap ass Duracell batteries made in China. Had the same thing happen. Bad quality brand now.
te Knocker is in blackbox?
that I am not sure...the game is long gone...carefully watch the video and maybe you can spot it!
I wonder why they made so few of them.
Lyle Johnson Probably because people couldn't get pass that cheesy backless and never tried to play them. I wouldn't mind owning one, it looks like it's fun to play. Some interesting features.
PinDweeb I guess the back glass was to pinball games as the movie posters the theater put up.
Cameo by Judge Dredd
904PinballZine yes...a brief appearance!
18:47 GOOFY?! :D
PERILEX he was visiting us yesterday!
Lol! :)
Bubs. what happened to bubs? you need a better pointer. instead of writing on the plastics with that pen. what you do is remove the antenna from an old radio wrap the top with electric tape so you don't short anything and viola pointer :) and no middle finger either :)
Lee Bartholomew We have to move stuff around and change things here and there...BUBS will come back!
TNT Amusements Inc bubs us begging :)
The touching with the ball pen made me cringe :)
The pen! D: Cringe!
Tweedlepounce (OtakuSRL) I L O V E that pen!
