Another lovely pinball get the special make over! and the little insight that Todd explains about this wonderfull pinball always the best @TnT Oooo i did notice that taxi pinball awaiting the TNT make over cant wait till taxi gets it's time to shine.As always guys yet another rare pinball gets that magic touch #steven'sRemasterd art work is simply wonderfull Many thanks to the Tnt crew
I would love to play this pinball! My friends mock me because i love to play "weird" games like The New Story of New Zealand, Gardia and Bubble Bobble! XD
Motordome was my first functioning pinball machine. I enjoyed it a lot actually, the sound didn't bother me too much. It doesn't have the replayabilty of other pins, but for the price you can't beat one of these for your first pin. Would be best in a big collection IMO
Someone needs to build a TNT pinball machine. With a Rudy-like Todd head on the playfield, Imbecile droptargets, CURT! multiball, Chase the clodhopper video mode, coffee maker animation in the backglass, all the TNT characters of course and "GET OUT!" at the end of the game.
I am up for it! Stern? Jersey Jack?? American Pinball??, Dutch Pinball? Spooky Pinball? Heighway Pinball? Chicago Gaming? Deep Root? HomePin? Who is up for it??
At long last!!!! Yay! Hopefully some computer wiz will make some bootleg sound roms with the tina turner soundtrack from beyond thunder dome for this game!
There is a guy that is making a custom soundboard with SD card connect for Bally and Gottlieb games, but im unsure if its gonna handle 6803, but you can always get some pro to reprogram the soundroms for you LOL
Imo this would be a personal long-term keeper if the god-awful sound could be addressed. I think it’s a pretty charming pin and it fits my grungy post-apocalyptic motorcycle theme I seem to have going at the moment, haha
Would love to see you do a walk around format when shooting your next vid. Talking about the different projects you guys have going on over there, and talking a bit about the history of the machines that are getting work done. Maybe show off what finished games you have in your showroom available for immediate purchase. As always, love your work Todd.
@@lylejohnson7591 The Hercules' playfield would most likely bend if this gigantic pinball machine could have the playfield lifted in same way as in any standard sized pinball machine, such as one featured in this video. This is due to fact that heavy motors are used to drive mechanisms near the front of the playfield. This might be reason of having the doors on the bottom of the cabinet.
I thought you honestly got shocked it was like a jump-scare scared the shit out of me. Not very often that I get scared from videos on RU-vid. Good job beautiful beautiful machine.
I think the most irritating part of this machine are the plastic ramps covering the playfield. Most games put them towards the back and the sides to keep the playfield open, to see artwork, and, you know, to see your ball. That music though... I have to ask if the person who created this machine ever played it? 10 seconds of that and everyone I know would have said "O.k., let's find something less harsh, like a phone continually ringing or metal grinding."I did enjoy the last part after trashing most of the machine. "Oh, there is a color changing bulb right in the very back here. It's a nice touch." That had me laughing!
In my opinion, by far, the WORST pinball machine ever made is a toss up between BONE BUSTERS and GOING NUTS (which was never really made other than prototypes).
Great Video Todd, looks like I'm picking one of these up for pennies on the dollar. Do you have any tips on what to look for on the sound board (Apart from removing C30). It crackles when the pot(s) are turned up and down, but no sound. Any ideas?
Nah, I think the worst pinball ever made was Taito's Sure Shot, not only is it an Eight Ball Deluxe copycat, the designer decided to use a normal bonus counter instead of using the billiard balls, which looks weird because now the balls are the wrong color and there's no 20 & 30 ball in real pool. And to top it off, the sounds that get old fast. I know they wanted it to sound like a banjo, but instead it sounds like a toy keyboard you'll find at the dollar store. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KeG23QkbVVc.html
Another awesome video. I was moved during the intro to the point of tears. In the next life you and George Clooney dude! The game itself after it's been TNTized is beautiful. The sound is pretty yucky.
A LOT of pinball players I know all think that the worst table they ever played was Popeye; wasn’t very well made and was subject to breakdowns at the drop of a can of spinach.
Just what I wanted... every rule and feature explained for over 30 minutes on the worst pinball game ever released... ugh. I would have rather watched Rob do some soft-shoe to Frank Sinatra or something...
Motordome was not one of my favorite pinball games. I was not a big fan for the background noise, and if I remember correctly, the match feature was different because if more then one player played the game, each player had a different number to match do if 2 people played the game player one the number to match would be 50 and player two the match would be 80
Hmmm, It actually looks like it would be a fun game if not for the horrendous sound package. By the way, did you see my comment on your previous video about a replacement Dungeons & Dragons skill shot gate? :)
I had to do a search for your name in the comments to find it. Once you make one comment on a video and I reply, then if you comment back, it is not in the top of the comment area anymore for me to see and reply. Its how the RU-vid comments seem to be set up...and I get 50 comments a day (with the 1300 videos we have up now), so I just cannot find the responses to previous comments--they are so far down!
TNT Amusements Inc alright thank you for the reply. I guess I will stick with the brass wire for now. Seems it needs to have the upper right flipper rebuilt as it is weak and has a lot of movement even when the flipper button is held.
Link may be worn or broken (the part that moves the flipper up and down), or the screws loose in the flipper bushing (causing the movement), or the entire flipper mechanism could be loose!
TNT Amusements Inc Thank you for the information. I ordered a flipper rebuild kit from pinball life. I might as well just have it rebuilt and hopefully it will last a long time.
actually instead of a movie being remastered I'd consider it closer to ahem adult photosets being remastered from 1/2 a megapixel to usually 6mp ALS what :O oh that could stand for anything I didn't use the 4-6 letters that come after that 2 sites :P same company
um..... probably a good thing. but wouldn't surprise me if some of the employees have. for free I've helped them find mucked up links when they moved servers. But since kids might be watching I'll let the audience figure out what ALS stands for... and they aren't balding either. Easier put in the early days of the net and dial up. nobody thought pictures would get as big as say 100megapixels that Hegre shoots in (a certain type of art that isn't quite Fine Art but isn't the P word either) not many people own a $40,000 + digital camera Bentley might cost more though :P but anyway we could fit several pictures on a 2.5 inch diskette (hardly a floppy :P and the glue's rotting on the metal spindles on those making the actual floppies maybe lasting longer if they were well made. but didn't hold as much. so 1/2 a megapixel seemed like rather big on a 13 inch screen. Not so much on 32 inch screens let alone 17 inch . So some sites have been so called remastering their old 1/2 megapixels photosets to at least around 5-6 mp. If it's from a negative can go much higher than that although typically I scan most negatives around the 30mp mark (prints around that as well.. Either way when you said Steven had remastered the cabinet. In movies it's restored. In the net and photosets it's remastered. Unless your talking about the sound :) and a movie that was originally in mono doesn't always sound better in 5.1 True HD or DTS Master Audio like say Once Upon a Time in the West. And I'm a bit of an audiophile I guess because I wanna here the sound like it should sound.... I would say the music on the above machine isn't the worst I've heard... Diner isn't a fav. Maybe it sounds worse in person..
I had one that I bought just to quickly fix and sell. Not the worst, but a meh pin to me. I'll give it one of the worst sounds in a pinball machine that's for sure
This isn't nearly as bad of a game as the Pinside clowns make it out to be. Mr. and Mrs. Pacman and Spy Hunter are far worse. I'd love to get a scan of that center horseshoe plastic for mine...almost every machine i've seen has that plastic missing.
Not sure why this one is so universally hated. God-awful sound and cheap cabinet construction aside, it’s got a lot going for it as you mentioned in this video. I think the biggest knock against the actual GAMEPLAY is that if you can master the ramp shot it becomes a one-trick pony that ends up making all other scoring pointless, because the point reward is so skewed. I just picked one of these up for $135 that had been sitting years in a warehouse and for under $300 I should have all the kinks worked out + LEDs and whatnot. Not bad, even if it is “the worst pinball machine of all time” lol Glad I watched this video as I had no idea on the 912 bulbs on the sides..I was just putting 555s there. :/ I did end up with a couple of problem sockets trying to install the bulbs elsewhere under the PF; these wedge bulbs stink! Aaaaanyway, huge long response truly unnecessary, thanks for the video!
Even though I really hate the game, I still mention the unique stuff it has including the first ever choose Game Level feature....and point out its game play....I am allowed to hate a game too!!
You are not likely to run across one...many were junked because of the problem of the plastics melting on playfield due to a mistake in fusing! The special plastics not made, so many operators junked them for all the other parts and boards!
