After the amazing responses from my last video, I had to do it justice by giving it's own time to shine.
Tomy made quite a few tabletop pinball games but this one is the rarest next to "Pirate Treasure" Pinball. It is rare but mind you this was released in 1991 where as Tomy Atomic Arcade was released back in 1978.
I didn't mention in the video but this goes out to atarileaf who if it wasn't for him I wouldn't start up my tabletop pinball collection either, check out his channel and subscribe to him if you haven't yet: / atarileaf
and his Atomic Pinball review: • Tomy Atomic Arcade Pin...

Holy balls, this is amazing. I have some Tomy electromechanical devices (Hit and Missile, for instance) but nothing of this magnitude of amazing! Thanks for showing this, wow.

@ImGoingSupersonic Год назад

U came along way in subscribers id imagine lol

@generfeld 5 месяцев назад

got one these as a kid. so many memories are coming back with the sounds which I havent heard since back then. wow

@Shipwright1918 7 лет назад

Totally awesome! working pop bumpers, a working scoring reel, makes the mini tables being sold today look like crap. Definitely going to have to see about getting one of these if I can find one. The only thing that Tomy might've done to make it better would be to have bells instead of the electronic sounds to make the table really old-school, but even so it's not a deal-breaker..

@squidcorps 11 лет назад

I just bought one of these in near perfect condition on Ebay for $66!! Cant wait lol

@modeljetjuggernaut4864 6 лет назад

I still have one. It still works great.

@ddrusa 4 года назад

Is yours made from china mine is a 40 inches long and its blue its a Harley Davidson model? Some reason the power in the back stop working

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 14 лет назад

@techromancer1 - Thanks esse! They are still around, just gotta keep a look out for em!

@frstylluvr2567 8 лет назад

There was a baseball themed game just like this with the same layout. I can't seem to find it anywhere! It was a slightly bigger unit than this....anyone know what I'm talking about?

@bobotron50 8 лет назад

I just sold one of these for $90 on Ebay. finally dragged it out of the closet and had no idea it was worth anything.

@MattyIcecubes 11 лет назад

How much does one of these go for nowadays? I've been dying to get a pinball machine for my man cave, but those full sized arcade machines are just too damn expensive. But this mini one is actually pretty cool, and might be the solution to my problem.

@Shipwright1918 7 лет назад

You might consider making a virtualpin cabinet with the Visual Pinball software if you're still wanting a pinball machine, Chef. If you build them yourself or get a kit it's significantly cheaper and you still get a full sized pinball cabinet in the end. Granted, playing on a real pinball machine will always be tops, but Visual Pinball is pretty darn close to the real thing in terms of how the physics works and so on. Plus, there are tons of real-life pinball tables available for it, all for free, as is Visual Pinball itself. Still, I wouldn't say no to one of these mini tables myself, looks like fun!

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 11 лет назад

Hey Matt, usually they do pop up on eBay but the average price on them right now is between $90 to $110 dollars on buy it now's since they never do auctions.

@JeffreyQProductions 4 года назад

Did you know you can do bang backs and death saves on these? I have a Tomy Astro Shooter and do bang back all the time. It's kind of difficult to do and when I do it, I feel like a badass. Cheers!

@boysopas5951 3 года назад

i was wondering if this thing runs only on dc power or there a battery compartment for it?

@newbielives 13 лет назад

The fact this can run of AC instead of batteries, makes it FREAKING awesome

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 13 лет назад

@kinmanyuen - Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed watching = )

@jimdep6542 2 года назад

Nicely done video of the Tomy America machine. I grew up on EM machines and started to lose interest once all the companies went solid state. The old EM machines had personality and character. This Tomy American is a reminder of better times for me. There's a working one on EBAY right now for cheap ( so far), so I started doing some research and came across your video. I don't know if I can get past not having a working SPECIAL or getting replays. It would have been a nice feature. Still, what choices are out there now in the price range. Anyway, thanks for the video.

How many points do you get for the Milky Way

@onebadlsc 3 месяца назад

I had the Franklin sports baseball version of this

@atarileaf 14 лет назад

Its amazing Sid. I love this thing. I'd love to find one of these machines.

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 14 лет назад

@misterintellivision - If you can get it, get the Atomic Arcade Pinball which is the standard.

@hellava100 10 лет назад

wow i got lucky and came across the exact same model from someone who just gave it away.

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 10 лет назад

No way.... this is a scare gaming item these days!

@ESHINEELECTRO 10 лет назад

Looks just like "Astroshooter" with another theme ^^ Same sounds than Astrooshooter 1St gen Same features too and everything at the same places, or almost ^^

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 10 лет назад

Possibly but it is quite different compared to the other pinball machines Tomy pumped out back then which was 3 or 4 if I'm not mistaken.

@Yavinonche 10 лет назад

OldSchoolNYCGamer I have 2 Astroshooters but all the power supplies died :( And one is missing a leg :p

@flashn00b 3 года назад

They need to make a new Astro Shooter. Perhaps they could bulk order Raspberry Pi chips to make use of a digital scoreboard and wavelength audio?

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 12 лет назад

@British1500 - Fun for adults too, it is quite fun.

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 13 лет назад

@MightySquirrel - Thank you, glad you liked it.

@seanwilkinson3975 9 лет назад

Tomy's Atomic Arcade was the first toy pinball, but this revision makes it look like a dollar-store "bagatelle" pocket game. Are there any sites with tutorials on how to customize toy pinball machines? Maybe you can't add real drop targets, pop bumpers, powered flippers, or rollovers, but I'd like to take my generic game and change it into a Doctor Who or My Little Pony theme, with some extra challenge shots (targets or ramps) and SFX.

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 13 лет назад

@HaikuAutomation - That's cool, you can't even find them on eBay these days and if you do they go for prices that aren't worth getting it.

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 13 лет назад

@newbielives - Thanks, I really did the AC adapter too. From all what's going on with this you really need it just to power this sucker up.

@YayAkiba 12 лет назад

For a kids pinball machine, this sure has some nice features(kickers, pop bumpers).

@techromancer1 14 лет назад

man i remember when i was young i went with with my dad to pick up one of these but they sold out man ..that is one nice mini pinball you got there sid rock:D

@wonjoeful 4 года назад

does anyone knows whether it is still in production today? i want to buy new set

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 4 года назад

I do have another one in storage, no box but might need a new power supply if you are interested.

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 14 лет назад

@RetroGamerVX - Thanks matey, I do look forward to seeing this one arm bandit machine of yours. = )

@frigginjoe 12 лет назад

Thanks for the great video. I got my nephew a Tomy Astro Smash pinball machine which appears to be a clone or variation of this one (along with a couple others they sold). I was wondering if the rollover spots really added to the score, since Atomic Pinball only scored for bumpers. Looks very cool, I will possibly play it more than he ever does.

@GameplayandTalk 10 лет назад

This is a really cool looking little machine. I'd love to get my hands on one, but the prices in the last year have seemed to skyrocket. Such a shame.

@kirkwatstien6979 10 лет назад

come on man it's under 100 bucks and I've seen them for 8 to 10 bucks without the box and 75 maybe mint IN the box..

@Trekeyus 8 лет назад

I just got one from goodwill for $10 with the box and I'm kinda blown away at how much it is worth these days. the box is kinda mangled but not to bad.

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 14 лет назад

@roundhouse87 - I would recommend finding the Atomic Arcade one, this one is super rare these days.

@DarrinsDen2023 14 лет назад

is this quieter (motor sound) than Atomic Pinball?

@MendezSpeed 12 лет назад

wat type of ac adaptor r u using i have the same one but no ac adaptor plz write back thx

@Dashbshots 8 лет назад

Cool game. Tomy made some nice games back then.

@elosevilla 14 лет назад

GREAT VIDEO, THANKS FOR UPLOADING, OLDSCHOOL. But IMHO this model surpases clearly Atomic Pinball, for both Mechanic Holes, the Hyperspace tunnel, the 4th slingshot, sounds and rollovers, the 3rd flipper.the weak point is the noise level, the same as the atomic model. I would like to know if this kind of playfield has something to do with a toy pinball from Fisher Price called TRIPLE ARCADE (an outstanding game with tall legs, with three modes, Basket, Pinball and ball shooter).Congrats again

@RetroGamerVX 14 лет назад

I love these old pinball toy thingys. I'd get some myself but I think they would take up too much room :o( I have a one arm bandit machine desktop thingy that I will do a review of some time soon :o) Wow, love seeing it going, I'd never be off the thing :o)

@OldSchoolNYCGamer 11 лет назад

Thanks, I wish Tomy made more of this specific model with different designs though.

@FlyingPiper13 12 лет назад

Does anyone have an opinion about the AC/DC tabletop pinball machine? Thanks!

@WolfPetrone333 13 лет назад

I Got one of these recently from one of my Family members that I was helping with a storege & I see it needs a AC Adapter in order to work :( . I was just wondering if by chanse you know what tipe it uses. If you could hep with that info 4 me I'd Greatly Appreciate Thanks for your Time & Cool video. Thanx again - Wolf Petrone 333

@supernova6486 6 лет назад

Instead of having the front end music so bloddy loud how about making it so that people don't have to turn it all the way down only to max it out just to hear you otherwise wow WTF.

@HaikuAutomation 13 лет назад
