I don't care what you review.. I love this idea of literal smash or pass. Very creative and works perfectly with the Francis character. I'm looking forward to more smash/pass/buy reviews!
Although I don't collect these amazing pinball/arcade machines, the sequence of the review makes it easy to follow and you were very detailed in explaining how the machines work, as well as how they compare with each other. Thanks for doing this!
I honestly feel like this could be an idea good enough to warrant its own series. Someone intelligent, objectively reviewing products, is a great service in and of itself, plus you get the fun and the theatre of the occasional smash. Love it boogie, looking forward to seeing more!
Normally I listen to your video while playing games but smash or pass got my attention thank you for all your videos I really hope everything is going to get better for you in the future
I think the resolution is the real killer... even 1080p would be soft for something like this.... if it’s not real pinball, you want a damn good screen
This series is perfect. Its the perfect mixed of Boogie, reviews and Francis. All of your fan base can actually enjoy this. You could even get more of a "boogie tales" in this format while playing the things you are reviewing. In this case, stories of bar events when you played pin ball or as a youth. You would be able to mix the mental illness awareness and updates with an actual real life experience review + Francis when the thing is a smash!
I'm a sucker for a good pinball machine 6 in 1 sounds pretty good and 700$ isn't that bad for a digital one but still woof. Mods seem cool if zen is actually working with the community though would wait to see how far they go with it I doubt they would let people play licensed boards for free but you never know.
I enjoyed this video mostly cause it reminded me of all the old channels that would review things like this and that’s what’s gonna bring me back good work Boogie
Great review format. More arcade reviews would be awesome. Maybe start with your favorite. Could expand to standard format arcade machines if you have access near your home.
I think most of us would have liked to have seen a Smash as the opening of a new potential series, just to see the old style Francis Destroy content. But if the machine is good and enjoyable there is no reason to destroy it. Just make sure you get some content in here that you know will be smash worthy so we're not all waiting for content that doesn't come because everything given for review is good enough not to justify destroying
While I do see the appeal of getting the arcade1up pinballs, I believe the best way to go about getting virtual pinball is to build one if you have the extra money. This lets you make the machine to whatever form factor you want (you can make tiny ones, or you can do like me and accidentally make one larger than a real machine lol) and you will understand your software way more. You can run zen pinball on any virtual pinball machine along with some more traditional pinball emulation like Visual Pinball X and Future Pinball (although most tables you will be running are in a tiny bit of a grey area, but the table creators do try to keep it as legal as possible by only replicating older titles.). That being said, you will have to put more work into it, and probably a bit more money. The nice thing about homemade virtual pinballs is that you can upgrade it even after you build it (especially if you opt for life-size, a lot of the inside of the cabinet is hollow except for a few wires and a pc in the back corner). It really just matters how much work you want to put into building one.
Yes, I love pin ball but don't like the $$$ bc I can't afford it to pricey for me on my low below minimum wage paycheck. But I'm so happy for you who can afford one. Happy pinning, Chris from Missouri
Great video boogie. It looks like you have a new camera. Looks really good. Glad to see you doing game related content again. Hoping things in your life continue to get better.
hey boogie, i havn't been here in a good minute. i have to say, you look great my man! keep up the work, the psych aspect of keeping up can be exhausting, your story has helped more people then you know.
These machines are great for first timers that want to see if a pinball will actually get usage in their home. With prices of new machines being $7k and higher, this is a good entry point into the hobby.
Always a fan, Boogie. Been a fan since 2016. Joined the bandwagon a little late but hey I got there. Your last couple of videos were really touching and I’m proud of you for sending them out. You do you man. We’re there for ya, ignore the morons who find joy in making other people’s lives miserable in any way possible. I’ll admit I’ve kinda distanced myself from RUclips the last year or so. I will try to keep up with your videos though, because I’m still a fan. As for this video. This video is awesome! Smash, Pass or Buy is a cool concept, gonna make a series out of it?
I've got to say, this new series is very refreshing from all of the negativity here recently, this definitely gets two thumbs up from me. Also, the new look helps aswell
Nice video Boogie! Glad that you're innovating. The Francis character doesn't hit the mark anymore (the suspension of disbelief is harder now that you're older as Francis is a child), but you have a lot of insightful and interesting commentary about video games (and anything else that you want to set your mind on). Hope for the best.
If you like pinball, you would LOVE this place by my house. Down the street, there's a vintage arcade/bar. They have like 100 pinball games as well as tons of videogames and other stuff. They also hold pinball tournaments.
I don't know if you're still reading comments on this video, but if you are I just want to say I watched you so many years ago and your channel just disappeared from my mind. I'm back now watching your videos, as good as ever I will say, and I wish you the best of luck with the stuff you're dealing with. Love you man.
The only thing keeping me from buying this unit is the price. The Arcade1Up's used to be priced decently, now they have gotten too expensive. It might be because of the current price of components, but I hope that the price for the new Arcade1up products become more responsible in the future. What are some good retro game consoles that you can but without breaking the bank? I wonder if you can buy these boards just as a computer game?
I would consider getting either a hand held or tv based emulator. There are some android boxes that come pre loaded with tons of games via emulation. You can also mod some arcade 1ups to host those types of machines!
Great concept. I have always enjoyed your reviews, but I think this format will help to stand out. Im actually going to be looking at computer monitors within the next year. Maybe a review or 2 of those could help both of us out.
I feel like smash pass or buy could lend itself to games/collectibles as well as food (new restaurant offerings type stuff). And smashing food just sounds fun lol. Could also let Francis "misinterpret" the smash pass or buy and have some fun with that lol
I don't care what you review.. I love this idea of literal smash or pass. Very creative and works perfectly with the Francis character. I'm looking forward to more smash/pass/buy reviews!
Same!
It's an amazing idea

Love this idea, I'll watch the hell out of this series if you make it.

@@brian.hinman7796 no.
I absolutely love that you're doing these reviews and unboxing please do more! Awesome job on the video it looks amazing next to your arcade cabinets
Hey Boogie the Joker wants his crowbar back
I want more of this series! Good to have you back Boogie :) - A long-time fan
Loved this review! You just put me on to a genre of gaming I lowkey forgot about!
I honestly feel like this could be an idea good enough to warrant its own series. Someone intelligent, objectively reviewing products, is a great service in and of itself, plus you get the fun and the theatre of the occasional smash. Love it boogie, looking forward to seeing more!

You...Have...A...MK II....MACHINE!!! And so many other classics
WOW! That is my childhood
Keep this series going. I love this content.
I have the Arcade 1-UP Star Wars machine. I love it.
I think the resolution is the real killer... even 1080p would be soft for something like this.... if it’s not real pinball, you want a damn good screen
I feel like boogie is back in his element here and it's refreshing.
Amazing original series idea boogie! I will 100% watch every installment if you decide to continue! 🙏🏼❤️
I missed this video on my sub feed but I'm glad I caught it now. Great vid Boogs! Love to see more of the cabinets.
Love this series keep it up bro

This needs more views. Keep these up. I'll do what I can. Liked and shared. Hopefully people who see my comments will do so to. Vote with our views!
Continue this momentum Boogie. You are on a role, don't waiver this content is great.

Great new series and one I'm looking forward to seeing more of! Much love and glad you're doing better Boogie!
Good positive review I’ve played a couple of these multi game machines but am yet to purchase any but I’m seriously thinking about it.
I enjoyed this video mostly cause it reminded me of all the old channels that would review things like this and that’s what’s gonna bring me back good work Boogie

Awesome, I love it! Especially with the 80s techy music in the background!
This could be an amazing series to keep up. Review whatever you feel like
this seems like a super dope idea! one way to really show if what you made is good or ...bad
This is a brilliant idea cant wait for more of this series
I love this idea! The editing on this video is top notch!
Yay I cool new series happy to see your doing better ☺️
Honestly this is one of the best vids you put out in awhile! Do more of this Boogie! Love this!
He's a pinball wizard there's got to be a twist. lol
such a supple wrist 🥰
LMAO! This is great! This needs to be a New regular series. “Francis’ Smash or Pass”
Old school boogie. Straight up review with no drama. ty
Great review format. More arcade reviews would be awesome. Maybe start with your favorite. Could expand to standard format arcade machines if you have access near your home.
I love this series already has a lot of potential for funny gags. Keep it up Boogie 👍
Totally agree, in 2022, I would expect a minimum of 1080p, not 720p for a resolution on a home system.
Great video Boogie! I think this will be a great series for u! 👍🏿👍🏿 looking forward to more of them! 😊
This is the content we love seeing from you Boogie. Excited to see more!
i dont really have a comment about the game, i am glad you are doing good these days :-)
Adding the smash option to your reviews definitely makes things more interesting!
God tier reviewer

This was a really good video boogie. Keep up the good work, and I think you should continue to do the smash or pass thing.
This is a brilliant idea!
Dang it.... Francis you'll have to hold on to that crowbar a little while longer. Breathe.... Breathe... your time will come. :)
Yeah, I like reviews of this kinda thing!
Smashing something like this would seem like a terrible waste though, so glad you liked it!
Fun video, really cute concept. Planning to watch these all!
Love this new video and the idea that Francis will smash it makes it even better
Yes, I love pin ball but don't like the $$$ bc I can't afford it to pricey for me on my low below minimum wage paycheck. But I'm so happy for you who can afford one.
Happy pinning,

Love this idea and series, please make it a mainstay
Great video boogie. It looks like you have a new camera. Looks really good. Glad to see you doing game related content again. Hoping things in your life continue to get better.
Love the series idea. Really want a pinball machine.
Not sure just glad your back and in full effect
hey boogie, i havn't been here in a good minute. i have to say, you look great my man! keep up the work, the psych aspect of keeping up can be exhausting, your story has helped more people then you know.
This is going to be good. I want to see more of this!!!
so glad your back making these videos

😂😂😂😂Really thought this was going to end differently.. I've no doubt we'll see Francis in this series.. Love the idea of it Boog
RUclips Brian Hinman
I have a KISS pinball game I got for Christmas a few years ago for PS1. It's fun to mess around with from time to time.
Glad you didn't smash that... but I can't wait until you get something smash worthy!! Good stuff
It's a cool thing to ponder. MTG pinball would be cool, setup a deck and have different targets draw cards and such.
this is actually a nice video, and a good idea, looking forward for more of this!!!!
Those 500-in-1 type systems might be fun to review.
This is Such a GREAT idea!
Looking forward to more! 😁
It looks awesome. I can’t wait to see you mod it.
Dude!!! I love this idea! Please don't stop this!!!!!
Nice video Boogie! Glad that you're innovating.

Wow this was another banger Boogie lol, loved it
This is going to be a great series.
I like the idea here. Very old school RUclips stuff!

The rise and failed and the return of Boogie
The only thing keeping me from buying this unit is the price.
The Arcade1Up's used to be priced decently, now they have gotten too expensive.

Hi
When a video starts with boogie pointing a giant crowbar at the camera standing next to a pinball machine….. You know somethings up xD
Very good review sir hope Sammy and new little one get along well
Great concept. I have always enjoyed your reviews, but I think this format will help to stand out.
Im actually going to be looking at computer monitors within the next year. Maybe a review or 2 of those could help both of us out.
Keep these up boogie. I really enjoyed it!
a classic Japanese arcade style one would be a must by personally
Good review Boogie love your game and movie reviews👍🏻
It’s uncanny how Francis’ posture, facial expressions, movements, etc. are totally different from Boogie’s. Awesome
Dude! i would love more reviews of gamming products!
Love the idea. I think it will bring in a lot of views....especially if Francis gets to take one out lol
Finally my notifications for you are working!’
I feel like smash pass or buy could lend itself to games/collectibles as well as food (new restaurant offerings type stuff). And smashing food just sounds fun lol. Could also let Francis "misinterpret" the smash pass or buy and have some fun with that lol
Yes, keep up with this content! It's great!
This is the boogie from ten years ago. Keep it up bud.
The perfect evolution of Francis
This is a great series idea
This feels like a Game Show, and frankly, I love it. your gonna keep this series up right Boog?
Boogie could be a killer game show host!
Hey boogie, been watching you for many years.. love the new review
Great review. Thanks Boogie.👍
Excellent review, I like this series!
This is going to be a fun series 😆
Jersey Shore Smash it. Your pinball machines needs the Francis Chitty Bang Bang
I think you got this one right. I enjoy the games on my PlayStation, but I’m not willing to drop $750 on this thing, as cool as it is.
love to see you mod the machine also or maybe Francis can mod the machine
