One of the things I loved about the NES was all the random, strange ideas for games that developers tired out. Video games were still new and the creativity of developers gave us some strange, bizarre but also fascinating concepts. With how much money developing a game costs these days, you don't see as many risks being taken. Thanks for yet another awesome video!
That's my favourite part of the NES too! There are a lot of platformers that everyone knows but I love seeing all the strange ideas and combinations of different genres and mechanics developers were trying out.
How did I not know about this? It would have been an instant buy. This is so far advanced over any pinball games back then.. Thanks for always picking cool obscure titles.
There were a lot of other mainstream pinball video games out there at the time competing with 'Pinball Quest' could indicate why some gamers didn't know about this.
Dwarf I didn’t know about most of it back then, just wasn’t the most glamorous genre for a video game at that time. I assume video pinball still has to be relatively niche now but probably has gotten a much bigger audience at the same time, given all the work Zen and farsight have put in the last decade.
@@DrGamelove Pinball lost its popularity to time and video games, however, pinball has a unusual way of remaining relevant by becoming a virtual digital experience as well as what you'd experience up close & personal. Check out this video of dedicated, competitive pinball players and you'll see what I mean ruclips.net/video/YKbuy6G4I10/видео.html
"The pinball wizard" lol They missed out on that one! This game looks fun, Zen Intergalactic Ninja - Wacky Races and now this, Thanks for showcasing all these cool and obscure games
iirc the Pinball Dreams/Fantasies/Illusions series also do a big table with smooth scrolling. They were considered good back in the day. I played them on DOS but two are available on SNES.
Wow what a blast from the past. I finished this game around 2003 and had it burnt on a disc on a NES emulator for my Dreamcast. It's definitely worth at least one play through for the nicely for sure though! I believed I set up the left and right triggers for the paddles which made it intuitive. Great video though!
I love how unique this game is, but the mechanics, compared to a real pinball table, leave much to be desired, and I found myself getting frustrated that my precise shooting skills weren't translating well into this 8-bit game. Which is to be expected. I'll need to check out the more modern takes on this concept for sure. Glad you mentioned them.
I didn't play too much of it, but Creature in the Well was a pretty cool concept. I couldn't really get into Yoku, but I think it's because I was bad at it.
I love when developers take a mediocre concept, like pinball, and get really creative with it. But I'm glad you brought up Pinball wizard. That felt like a missed opportunity and we were all thinking it.
Had this game as a kid glad to see it get some love...A hidden NES gem for sure...The Magic of Scheherazade and Nightshade are good as well but Cybernoid was unforgiving
This game was a real treat. I never was able to get past the second level on rpg mode on the physical console as a kid whenever I rented the game, but finally beat the game on an emulator around 20 years later. The bigger treat was finding a reasonably priced loose cart around the same time.
This was one of the very few pinball games I ever had any interest in and it was just for that RPG mode. Rented this one frequently back in the day. I was wondering if Rollers of the Realm was going to get a mention here. It's my personal recommendation for anybody who wants a modern Pinball Quest.
i loved this game as a kid. my parents were broke so we could only get cheap new games. so from sears, we got this and Hoops. played the shit outta both games.
You really did your research on similar games. While I was watching my mind was immediately thinking about how it seemed the concept of mixing pinball with something else seemed a little lost until you mentioned current games. I was also thinking about the Crush series, more specifically Jaki Crush on the SNES, I strongly recommend that one, it fixes the issue you had with Alien Crush and it looks fantastic as well.
@@Cannotbetamed1 give it a shot. While it doesn't seem to have something like the RPG mode, it is engaging with all the mini-games and changes that happen in the playing field.
I've had this game in my collection for years, but watching this video has convinced me that I should try it out again....principally because I have discovered I wasn't playing it right :) Thanks for the video!
Thanks for reviewing this pinball game! I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on. Your review is awesome, has excellent context, and helped me figure out how to play this darn thing. Personally I’m a classic pinball enthusiast. I’d love to see a game where the pinball wizard faces off with the goblin king faces off with Cannot Be Tamed.
I like this quote regarding 'Pinball Quest's role-playing mode, "A purpose other than a high score." :)

This looks like the original devil's/aliens crush but even better with more levels and a quest. Can't believe I'm just now finding out about this game.
When I was a kid, I wasn't very attracted to this game because of its cover art. As a common child I wanted to play Ninja Turtles, Double Dragon and such. Now I want to play it so badly!
This video was super clutch for me!! I just ordered a Retron 5 online and I'm searching to pick up some cheap little hidden gems for it, I've always loved pokemon pinball so when I discovered this game online I was immediately interested, this video provided all the info I wanted to confirm my purchase plus a ton more! Keep up the good work and thanks for the upload (:
I loved pinball and pinball games as a kid. So much so I eventually bought an actual machine that has pride of place in our living room :D Great video Pam.
I loved me some Pinball Quest back in the day even though I was never big on regular pinball games. The pinball tables here would be forgotten if they weren't put together with a little progression and a few RPG elements could add to a game. It also shows some of the problem of the old RPG elements that were not well explained or thought out. For example, no matter how strong they are, it's hard to imagine playing more for flippers that will cause you to drop back to the last level randomly. It's very short, not at all the length of an RPG. It fits more in with a game like Marble Madness, a game about travelling through a short number of levels, than an RPG. It hasn't aged as well as other games, but I think there are some ideas here worth looking at.
Yeah, I definitely would not call this an RPG just because it has some upgrades. More of a pinball adventure with a little story and progression of levels.
@@Cannotbetamed1 abadox is a childhood favorite my friend shelly came that game to play in 1991 in school I was 7 at the time took me 4 hours to beat looks like you reviewed it in your videos cant wait to watch that review🍔
You made me buy Rollers of the Realm and Creature in the Well, which I have already completed Yoku, such a chill game. Just completed Rollers of the Realm as well. Very fun and nice review Pam! I'm a pinballholic and old school table guy, some would call me a wizard, but I've seen some crazy amazing skill beyond my reach. Thanks for the cool review!! ❤️
Keep doing these! For guys my age, it's a nostalgia trip. But for "youngsters," it's a path to really valuable and interesting games they might otherwise have missed. You do a service.. Pam...not...Tamed!...Cannot!
Nice review Pam, pinball games generally are not my thing - but I do think adventure styled ones like this are very interesting for sure. I'd be willing to try playing it.
I loved Pinball Quest!! Great video as always & you look good as always! Great video!! ;) .. I didn't make it as far as your in the RPG mode tho.. cool to see you getting to the princess. There's a very fun pinball game on the PS3 from the PS store. Forget what it's called though but had alot of fun with it.. many options and different Pinball tables like a Private Eye, Golden City, Ninja Gaiden, Blade & The Avengers.
Nice review! I haven't heard of this one, but now I'm intrigued. Ever tried Demon's Tilt occult pinball action(one of the best game titles ever)? It's got that smooth scrolling action and sometimes looks like a bullet hell shooter. I've enjoyed Yoku's Island Express and Creature in the Well, so it was fun to see them get a shout out. Your review also reminded me of the fun I've had playing Revenge of the Gator and Kirby's Pinball Land on Gameboy.
Pop pop! I never played this game, I really like the idea, I love pinball games, I will try it. I do need more pinball RPG games, this idea is awesome.
Had I known about this as a kid, this probably would have been my favorite game of all time. Played a ton of Galactic Pinball on Virtual Boy even though it wasn't that great (because what else was I going to do with a Virtual Boy).
This game is so strange. I probably would've been all over it as kid, but I didn't even know it existed until a few years ago. And stranger still, even though I've never seen a cartridge at a physical store or convention, it's not that expensive to buy online. Like, this seems like a game that would be rare, but instead it's just. . .uncommon and not that sought after, I guess?
Well this is possibly the most bizarre concept I've heard of yet - A Pinball RPG xD I mean it was certainly interesting and I'm glad I got to see you review it :D I guess NES games were very creative back then which is missed in a lot of modern games!
Great review Pam! This is one of those games which I own but I've never really played. I definitely need to check it out soon as it looks like a great NES gem.
I actually like it when I'm not bombarded by dazzling lights. I chose my Visual Pinball tables that were not too flashy, but with a beautiful backdrop and interesting game mechanics.
Hello there Cannot Be Tamed good evening to you!!!! My favorite arcade game from back in the day was The 40th anniversary of Pac Man from Arcade 1 up I have that for my birthday too!!!!! I love it!!!!! Thanks so much for posting this video!!!! I love it!!!!
RUclips recommended these videos to me and I am quite pleased, I cannot think of a way to improve on "pretty girl with sweet voice and bedroom eyes speaks learnedly on retro video games" that doesn't involve dancing girls or free beer, so, yes, I am quite pleased indeed. I had this game back in the day (which means I probably have it still, somewhere) and had forgotten about it until now, so thank you again for a lovely hit of nostalgia!
I love all of the attention the NES has been getting lately. Although if I recall, you said you sat down and played the old Castlevania games recently. Would love to see reviews of those (or at least 1 and 3).
Labyrinth themed pinball video game would be awesome! You could even tie in that scene with the three floating balls somehow to connect it that much more
Great video! I really liked Yoku and it's whole island theme, where Rollers of The Realm's difficulty just felt cheap at times and took the fun out of the high fantasy setting. It was one of those games I beat and said "FINALLY" and never played again.
I remember hearing about this one from one of my friends in school back in the day and dying to try it. Sadly I never got a chance. Maybe it's time to boot Jnes and and give it a swing.
Game I really enjoyed but never finished the RPG mode. I would get too frustrated by having to go back a replay tables a lot when I'd get an unlucky bounce. Another great review!
wow, I have a tradition of playing horror/fantasy based pinball videogames in the last week of october (very weird tradition haha) this one is now going to be on the list! thanks!
Agreed... falling down to the beginning table can be frustrating but I did like the original take on pinball and it was the best pinball game on the Nes.
very interesting, I had never heard anything about that game. I found him quite authentic in his proposal, it is unfortunate to have only had spiritual successors.
This is very unique and obscure! More than the other games: Pinball Action, Time Scanner (Sega) and the NES Pinball game (of the Black Box games). This made me interesting.
@@finnhaverkamp Metroid Prime Pinball is, perhaps, the most challenging video pinball game I've ever played. It's very difficult to crack over 10,000 points which is unusual for a pinball game.
I had this game! I don't know where my parents found it, but I got it I think for Christmas one year. I had bit of a low budget feel, but was still pretty fun.
This was a good game, though I haven't played it yet. That part is funny when the Devil shop beats you up if he catches you trying to steal XD Great concept, but it's kind of weird the dark theme of this game - demons, witches, Devil store owner and Biezelbub as the final boss? : /
Holy Crow! I totally forgot about this game! A repeat rental for me and my friends as kids... I miss the excitement of renting games from a video store. Like, that moment when you see the blue plastic case, with the cartridge inside, behind the official box... “ LOOK! ITS F’ing IN!! Im renting it!”
Bizarre, I didn't know this existed. Perhaps I've joined a new timeline! Hello from my old 2020 world, it was fun, everything must be great if there is a pinball themed RPG game in this one.
We have to rescue the Princess? How original... Though the idea of making a pinball game into an RPG is unique and interesting. I didn't know about this game, so will have to try it out now.

(virtual) Pinball has come a long way. Cool to see how it all started in videos like this one.
I play pinball a lot on the PC and I really like it.
I had a pinball collection on PC probably 20 years ago but I have no idea what it was called.

very interesting, I had never heard anything about that game. I found him quite authentic in his proposal,
it is unfortunate to have only had spiritual successors.
This is very unique and obscure! More than the other games: Pinball Action, Time Scanner (Sega) and the NES Pinball game (of the Black Box games). This made me interesting.
Pokemon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire is excellent
Metroid Prime Pinball too
@@finnhaverkamp Metroid Prime Pinball is, perhaps, the most challenging video pinball game I've ever played. It's very difficult to crack over 10,000 points which is unusual for a pinball game.
LOVED this game as a kid.
I had this game! I don't know where my parents found it, but I got it I think for Christmas one year. I had bit of a low budget feel, but was still pretty fun.
This was a good game, though I haven't played it yet. That part is funny when the Devil shop beats you up if he catches you trying to steal XD Great concept, but it's kind of weird the dark theme of this game - demons, witches, Devil store owner and Biezelbub as the final boss? : /
Holy Crow! I totally forgot about this game!
A repeat rental for me and my friends as kids...
I miss the excitement of renting games from a video store.
Like, that moment when you see the blue plastic case, with the cartridge inside, behind the official box...
“ LOOK!
ITS F’ing IN!!
Im renting it!”
I missing renting games and movies both
I just picked this up on Ebay about a week ago. Never played it when I was younger, but looks decent for a playthrough
I saw this on my recommended. Will need to try this game out, love pinball!
Bizarre, I didn't know this existed. Perhaps I've joined a new timeline! Hello from my old 2020 world, it was fun, everything must be great if there is a pinball themed RPG game in this one.
That Community reference was pure perfection! :D
We have to rescue the Princess? How original...
Though the idea of making a pinball game into an RPG is unique and interesting. I didn't know about this game, so will have to try it out now.
