I've played Popeye before and the complaint about the shots being usless doesn't make sense to me. Most of the shots are used for different wizard mode requirements. I think the problem is the usless shots are the ones that you can actually see like the mini playfield and wheel skillshots. Even then. Those can be helpfull in certain scenarios like on the upper playfield has the Wimpy shot that's used for an extra ball, or the wheel which can give you locks for multiball and OYL letters to fight Bluto. If you know where the shots are and know what to do, Popeye actually becomes fun to play. Plus the story that was made for the game that has 64 pages to read is a highlight. Probably my favorite Python Angelo game tbh. Side note. Tf is Champion Pub doing here? That game rules!

Wide bodies have twice the space as a normal playfield ? It’s like 2.75 inches wider .

Was really hoping you’d talk more about the unusual layout, reversed inlane on the left, and the outlane save scoops that can be used to save a drain with skillful nudging

never understood the hate for champion pub. it's one of my all time favs

You listed Champ Pub but ignored Water World!?

Surprised Going Nuts isn't on the list. It's a unique table with special rules. You have permanent multiball and a time limit. What really killed this table was the lack of things to do.

ya it's an awful list manx d

As for digital pinball, the worst real life table in Pinball FX so far is Hurricane. But that's nothing compared to the worst real life table in The Pinball Arcade, which is Goin' Nuts.

interesting dear jesse remix in the opener! picked up a bugs bunny once and kept thinking there must be more to the rules... nope! was ready to sell that after owning it for an evening!

Popeyes obvious goal of jabbing Bluto and locking the ball overshadows the rest of the rules which are not deep but are wide and have plenty of objectives. 4 different sets of goals have to be achieved for wizard. best part of this game is the diabolicaly hard upper playfield and finding Swee'pee .

Any game with a "mini playfield" is a BAAAAD sign

Anyone know the music at 3:15?

I really like the offset bottom on Gold Wings. They managed to make something original without it feeling unfair (looking at you Spy Hunter). Plus, like nearly all Gottliebs of the era, the music is really good. But the rest of the layout just looks awkward and cramped, most of the shots never feel like you've accomplished anything, and the vertical loop (a cool idea in itself) is basically ruined by being crammed into the upper left corner seemingly an inch away from the flipper.

I really like championship pub

I personally love the Rolling Stones machine and funnily enough mick is my fave part and the music

As soon as you said casuals, i was suspicions of your choice, then the widebody double size quote and i just turned off.

People really don’t like Champions Pub? I mean I’ve only ever played it virtually but it seems awesome to me. A boxing match in a pinball game…HELL YEAH!

This list is baaaaaad

Orbitor One is a good machine and you need to understand how the physics are really working to get the most out of it. Also, it isn't ugly at all.

I came hoping for some Hercules hate, I leave content.

You could have done this entire video with all the later Gottlieb games and called it day. Wipeout, Rescue 911, Lights,Camera Action and Warriors all STINK!!!

Date e East🙄 and the young person classless unnecessary cursing. Yeah you're my go to guy. Lol

Hurricane is one of the best tables ever.

I remember playing Street Fighter II pinball as well as TMNT 1991 pinball. The first I liked because I got to combine pinball with a budding interest in "Street Fighter II." TMNT was mostly novelty at the time. OF course, they also had "Back to the Future the Pinball" and "The Simpsons Pinball game too." from Data East.

The original KISS is horribly boring.

8:55 WHOA the volume just went from a 2 to a 15! Geez

From what I heard, people also hate Popeye Saves the Earth for its piss-poor environmental message AND the fact that the price to play it was higher compared to other pinball machines.

The Rolling Stones - Mick does *not* just move when he feels like it, his movement relates directly to which 'notes' shots you have hit. He will also move to protect targets in certain modes. you can hit him to make him move. A good Stones player can work the Mick target to their advantage. Controlling to an extent where he will move and anicipating when. Thats part of the game. As often the case people criticising a game without knowing the rules or how it works.

I'm more a purist when it comes to machines (prefer EM and early SS games). But out of all the hobbies out there, pinball truly takes a chance, and while there are a lot of stinkers, you won't find a more interesting and dedicated group of people who even the stinkers hold sentimental value with. I have two cocktail pinball tables (let the pitchforks rise) Gottlieb Night Moves, and Allied Leisure Take Five, one standard EM (Gottlieb Super Soccer) and two virtual pinball machines ,both from @Tgames (Legends Micro and Legends 3/4 size pinball). So for me ,anyone who collects even the stinkers gets a hats off because despite their poor gameplay or poor replay value, someone has at least kept it from the scrap yard. And one more working example is one more preserved for posterity.

Champion pub is addictive and I see no reason it shouldn't be liked at least. Hardest shot is probably getting in corner to start fight. I like when in fight mode the middle has a stopper and launch button uses smart punch if you have it. Probably gotten 3 replays at most one time.

Champion's pub is cool !!! Great game, easy to understand and a lot to do.

Ahahahah i ve the street fighter and x files and i love popeye 😅

You can do much worse than Popeye, Street Fighter or South Park (none of those are great - but there's much worse).

I have never heard any hate for Champion Pub. When I was younger it was considered in the same tier as Attack from Mars, Medieval Madness and TotAN.

Hahahaha, My first thought immediately was Hercules. I remember the very early days at an arcade in downtown Omaha they only had one pinball, you guessed it. That monstrosity of crap.

Good video but please fix your Audio mixing

And the Hot Shots (Gottlieb 1989)????

Your too young for all those swear words

Superman by Atari is the worst Pin.

I've been wanting to try Thunderbirds, but I can never get on it. Oh, and it's NOT before my time. lol.

Call me old school but I liked machines with spinners.

Orbitor 1 rules. Have you actually played one?

For me and pinball with more than two flippers is a no go.

Hurricane?! It’s sweet! (Enjoyed the video though). ;)

Im glad you put Hurricane in there...loved the backbox.loved the ferris wheel,but the rest sucks....Mine was perfect,but broke it up as it was just the worst machine i ever played..From the minute you launched the ball !! Artwork is way too busy !! Like scattered ants on a table cloth !!

the audio mix is this video is so terrible, that's unbelievable. I had to turn the volume up extremely high to hear you talking and at 8:56 it almost blew my speakers

I was never a fan of Pub Champion.

Only ever owned the Hurricane as far as shit titles and YES it is a HUGE POS!! South Park was decent but not anywhere near a shitty as Hurricane.

One modern-day pin that's more disappointing than outright bad is Rick & Morty. The use of the license is phenomenal, and the rules are deep, yet still simple enough to understand at a glance. However, all this is completely ruined by one of the worst playfield designs I've ever seen. The lower right flipper is borderline useless, and if the flippers aren't tuned perfectly, the portal shots are virtually impossible to make (the right shot has to be made when the ball is practically falling off the left flipper - otherwise, it just bangs off the side of the ramp - and unless you flip the upper flipper with millisecond precision, the ball simply bounces off the side of the left shot and dribbles back out, usually STDM).

Hercules looks perfect for me, a slow game would fit my dull reaction time.
