I lit up the whole solar system once. I was having the game of my life, huge crowd watching, aaaah, the golden years of pinball. Ocean lanes Lakewood NJ around 1986
When i was teenager, i used to play gauntlet machine all day long, and that damn pinball machine was next to it..the song in the background was getting on my nerve but after a while i got used to it.. now 20-30 years later, id really love to have one lol.. and yea i did play and enjoyed this machine long time ago...
Great to relive playing Pinbot in this video. Thanks so much SEBsixsixsix! It's a little hard to hear, but my favorite part is when you get both balls in the "eyesockets", Pinbot says "I can see you now".
I have the NES game. First time I saw a real Pinbot table was as a kid at Buzz Inn steakhouse in Everett,Wa. Then I played it again at The Seattle Pinball Museum. I geeked out both times.
I own the real Pinbot Pinball #02001 and have TPA "The Pinball Arcade" on the PS4. The music, sounds, and graphics are spot on but the ball physics isn't like the real thing. The older 80s pinballs and parts are nearly impossible to find anymore. I thank TPA for their efforts as I can relive my kid years again!
God, this brings back memories - first saw/played this machine at Norton Holiday Park in 1987 - it was this and the awesome Xain D'Sleena: Soldier of Light that summed up the complete annihilation of my holiday money in that tiny onsite arcade that summer. That growling attract voice still sends shivers! Too, too cool 😎😎😎😎👌👌👌🌌🌌🌌
The Glory days for me was the Boys and Girls Club i use to stare at this game for hours. Im watching the movie BIG and pinbot is in the movie i got so hyped i came on here just to find it. #NOSTLIGIA
You made the ramp shot look to easy! I just played this table at an arcade in Erie yesterday and the ramp was easier to hit with the left flipper for me.
try doing that on a REAL pinbot. video games are not pinball. they only give you an IDEA of the rulesets and game play it is nowhere near the real thing. go play a real pinball machine and you will get your butt kicked if you have not played real pinball before. pinball is a hard game when you consider you have a play field surface that is not perfectly flat (close but no surface is perfect), a real steel ball that is actually quite heavy, gravity, and real physics. video games do not do pinball justice
tpirman1982 im sorry but arcades are NO longer the place to go, they are mostly filled with redemption machines now. you know the stupid games that give you a stuffed plush for $10 in tokes. they are cheap to maintain and produce the most profits..... i think they suck. i want to have fun and i want to be entertained.... this means pinball. there are very few games on location around here. we have a poll hall that has some games on location. maybe that's where you should look. a pool hall or an arcade... if all else fails do what i did, go and buy a pinball machine off of craigslist. you can find pins for $800 or less, and as long as you buy one at or below market value you can resell it when you want something else. a 30 year old pin is not going to loose any value. the pinbot in this video for example could be had for less then $1,500. i saw one locally a month ago for $1000 but it was already gone. i would have bought it. its a fantastic game. if no one has any pins on location buy on. you can still get parts, thats not a problem for most part. look at macro specialities for pinball machine parts, and K's arcade for board. brand new boards are being produced along with displays. its a great hobby and has a growing following. i personally own 4 games.
andrew donohue Nah, the Pinball Arcade, Microsoft Pinball Arcade, 3D Ultra Pinball Thrill Ride, Williams Pinball Classics and other PC games software is good enough for me now.
I had Pinballs, Video games, and Juke boxes, as well as cigarette and candy machines on location when that business was profitable back in the 80's and 90's. Of all the tables this was my favorite... The PC killed the videos, and the Liberal Democrats in office killed the smoke shops.
Is look same but a difference were you lost the ball in nes is a music is play but inn real notting im have playing on nes and im reach far away and im remenber in nes version in 3 round the mnster destroy you flipper by iced
im picking up the wife in a couple days, lol. 1991 bride of pinbot, i would love so sell or trade a 1994 data east royal rumble for one of these fantastic games.
