## Analysis

Ron Hallett and Bruce Nightingale of the Slam Tilt Podcast, joined by Zach, conduct a live pre-Finberg episode at the Silver Ball Saloon in East Rochester, NY, discussing the Eclectic Gamers "Build-A-Bank" community voting list. They work through 23 banks of classic pinball machines, offering casual gameplay tips, strategy advice, and critiques of each game. The episode is largely unscripted and meandering, focusing on recreational play strategies rather than competitive analysis.

### Key Claims

- [MEDIUM] Jersey Jack can't get machines out in time, making Stern superior in production capacity — _Ron Hallett responding to chat question about which manufacturer makes better quality pins_
- [HIGH] Finberg venue has a modded Earthshaker with flipper hops that prevents repeated ramp shots — _Ron and Bruce discussing Earthshaker in Bank 6, noting it is 'physically modded'_
- [HIGH] Their Adams Family machine at Finberg is set to be unusually difficult/mean — _Bruce describing their specific Adams Family as 'a bit mean' and noting side ramp as viable strategy_
- [HIGH] Their Dark Knight is set to require four hits per Joker lock — _Ron stating 'Their Dark Knight, it's set on, like, four hits per Joker lock'_
- [HIGH] Bank 22 (Elvis, Gay 90s, Swords of Fury, Fathom) represents the quarter mark of the Build-A-Bank list at approximately 8 minutes into discussion — _Hosts noting '8.05' timestamp and acknowledging 25% completion_

## Transcript

 Coming to you from beautiful upstate New York, this is the Slam Zill Podcast, the show about all things pinball. I'm your host Ron Hallett here with my co-host Bruce Nightingale. Alright. We're also here with Zach. Hi Zach. Hi Zach. Hi Zach. And this is our pre-Pinberg edition, episode 132, almost live 2, the sequel. Yes, we've got to figure out what we're going to talk about. Well, you're the one who called this. I called it because you were coming. He called, yes, he demanded we do a podcast, so I had to work and bring all this equipment here. All this equipment. Manny's Arcade, how's it going, Manny's Arcade? We will answer you, even though we're recording, too. We will be uploading this as a podcast that probably no one will listen to because it will sound very confusing. Yeah, you can basically just text bomb the chat, you know. Yeah. It'll be the first podcast without Phoebus and Bloodhound in front of it. No, I think I did that with the last Almost Live we did. Okay. Because I am not editing this. Wow, fuck yes. Yeah, shit, fuck, hell, goddamn cocksucker, motherfucker, two-ball bitch. Every time you turn around, you balls it. Okay. So now we've been banned from Twitch. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So what should we talk about? There's something coming up this week I heard. Have you heard? Have you heard it, Zach? Have you heard the bird's a word? The bird's a word. It is pinbird. I'm trying to find a list you guys sent me. Oh, you mean the list that I have right here? Ready to go? Come on. No, you don't. Yeah, I do. No, you don't. Right there, right now. Are you going to show it on the stream, too? Yeah, because I can't see shit. Oh, I don't want to do that. I can't see it either. Yeah, no, this is great, isn't it? You can't see it either. My eyesight's really going. Your eyesight's really going. I'm fucking dead. You don't need to see it. I will announce it to the banks as we go along here. See if we think these are good banks or crappy banks. How many banks are there? 87. Holy shit, we can't go through every bank. That's stupid. We can go through the ones we like. That's why I wanted to see the list. I can't fucking find it. No, we need lots of content. Let's just go through them all. Yeah, we got a lot of content. Yeah, you got a lot of content, all right. Well, let's see. Trying to find the list. Yeah, trying to. We can go through before we get distracted. Yeah, yeah. Oh, we got it. That's easily distracted. Got it right here. So, Bank One. Sucks. Bank One sucks. Okay, that's. That's NBA, Strataflight, Motor Dome, and Lost World. That is a thumbs down in my book. There's not a single redeeming quality on that. No, there is not. Any tips for anyone on these games other than don't play them? Go home and get a cat nap. Go take a nap. Bring this one because they're going to suck. NBA, I like. Strataflight, I hate. Strataflight, you want to fall into the hole. You can't shoot up top. Yes. Repeatedly. So Motor Dome, pick three. Pick three and then shoot the thingy. Lost World, just keep it in play and get it across the ramp. Wait, Lost World or Escape the Lost World? It says Lost World. Lost World. That's the valley. That's the valley. Oh, the valley, that's really good. So shoot up top a whole bunch of people. Yeah, keep it going, yeah. Yep. Okay, that's number one. Number two, Walking Dead, Poker Plus, Time Machine, and Pony Island. Which Time Machine? Oh, it's the Data East Time Machine, so that's good. Yes. So I like this one a little bit because I like Poker Plus. Poker Plus is the game you want the skill shot. You've got to get a skill shot at the beginning or you're fucked. There's a lane up top that's worth more than anything you can possibly score in a whole lot of the game. Unless you keep on going for a while and you get the bonus. Yeah. Walking Dead. This is Walking Dead. We're not going to go over things that everyone knows. Time Machine is a time machine. Time Machine. You go to the past. Go to the 50s. Yeah, go to the 50s. I know how to play Time Machine. You've got to hit the targets and go back through time and lock the ball. If you're lucky enough to get the million shot, try. Don't trade on it. Star War. Is there anything spot? Target? Ramps. Yeah, hit ramps. Just shoot lots of ramps. Just shoot lots of ramps. Okay. And Coney Island? Coney Island, you want to hit it in the saucer on the left side, which lights the spinner, which doesn't go off, then hit the spinner repeatedly and do that. There we go. Ignore all the targets on the right, which is most of the play field. Now, this third bank is a good bank. The first bank I will agree with, Baywatch, UConn, TX, TX Sector, and Frontier. Frontier. UConn is a crap game. UConn's better than a lot of the other EMs that they have there, so I'll take it as a good one. It's still another just shoot up top and hope you get in the pops a whole bunch of games. Or get in the holes. Which you can't shoot for. What's UConn? UConn's a slot machine. The one with the slot machine in the middle. There's a slot machine. How do I play UConn's app? You shoot and try to get it to stay in the pops as long as possible. Wow, that sounds boring. If you're really lucky, it'll fall into one of the holes, but you're probably not going to. So luck, is what you're saying. It literally has a slot machine in it. TX Sector is a spinner all day when it's lit. Frontier, get it back up top. Get it up top, get it up top. Hit the drop target on the left and hit the right spinner. And, of course, Baywatch is... multiball. multiball all day long. And go for CPR. Yes. Don't read your super skill shots. You can do skill shot or super skill on that, too. No, just always go for the top lane skill shot. Get your squid pops. Okay, number four. Legends of WrestleMania, Freak Out, Doctor Who, and Asteroid Annie and the Aliens. That's where they changed it. On my list, it has it. This is supposed to be up to date. It has a doozy. I don't have that here. That is the same thing as Freak Out. Freak Out is the re-themed doozy. Oh. See? The actual game is Freak Out, which is a re-themed doozy. So, WrestleMania, you want to go for tag team? Yes, of course. Always. Freak out, you want to zip the flippers and then shoot the left target or the right gate repeatedly. Doctor Who is just if you want to go for the boom ramps or you can do the combos. There's three different broken ways to play Doctor Who. Yeah, you can do Who or you can go for multiball. Three broken ways. You can go for video mode over and over, you can go for multiball over and over, or you can just go for side vamps over and over. Or Who. You can go for Who. Who's good, actually. If you keep it going like Repeatable Ramp Boy does. Repeatable Ramp Boy just goes for the side vamps. go to the side. No, I hate that side shot. Oh, come on. I think you love Asteroid and the Aliens. The only one player got the digital. That sucks. The last one. Yeah, it really sucks. Well, I don't care if it sucks. How do I play, Bruce? What do I do? You don't. You don't play. You literally just quit. You literally quit. You go up top. Okay, next one. We have a question from the chat. Who's making better quality pins? Stern or Jersey Jack? Well, I have to say Stern because Jersey Jack can't get them fucking out in time. Ba-dum-bum-pss. Okay, so that's okay. Number five, Congo, High Deal, Elvira and the Party Monsters, and Alien Poker. I think a pretty good... High Deal is a piece of crap luck box. Yes, it is. Congo, not a luck box. No, they look very good. Elvira and the Party Monsters. High Deal is you hope that the bonus happens to randomly light, and then you shoot it. Yes. And that is the game. Elvira and the Party Monsters. multiball, multiball all day. Is just ramping out the strategy on that? No, you want to get side shot. But, like, if you... Oh, you do. You don't want to go for multiball for one reason or another. You can do ramps. It will give you bonus points that way. If you keep on ending the ramps, you'll keep on... If you get into the same ramp, it will go up 100, 200, 300, and it will go... Because you can steal locks on it. So should I really be trying to lock balls? And it's three balls. Well, guess what? If you have somebody who's already locked two for you, you go for three. There you go. I would probably never go for the first lock. No, I wait for... I would always go for the third lock. And it depends on where your position is and how he starts. I go, of course. Alien Poker. Alien Poker. You want to shoot off a whole bunch. Yeah, spinner, spinner, spinner. Or right orbit. Or right orbit. Other than the plunge, how do you hit the spinner? You don't. You don't. You don't. Then complete the drops from right to left. Or if you get it, can you actually get it back into the plunge? It can fall in. Yeah, I can have done that once or twice. But if you happen to get up to 3x collect off the upper lane and that lights a spinner, it can fall in the plunger lane by accident and just re-rep it. Okay, number six. Jackbot, Jungle Queen, Earthshaker, Dracula. Now, I don't know which Dracula. Stern. Is the Earthshaker modded at all? Yes. It introduces tons of flipper hops, so you can't hit the ramp repeatedly. Yes. Physically modded. Okay, yes, physically modded. So, if you're Bruce, still go for the ramp. And if you're otherwise, then keep going for the upper loop to spot numbers. Yeah. Is there any other shot that's twice the numbers? No. Well, it depends on if it's set for hard. If it's set for hard, no. If it's set for mildly hard, because there's five ways you can, you know, it's like easy, medium, easy, medium. It's probably on hard. Probably on hard. So, yeah. Jackpot? Get jackpots. Cheat constantly. Cheat constantly. Take a multiball or two and then go for casino. Yep. Jungle clean. Drop targets, drop targets. Or you can do the left-cloth strategy of just go up top over and over again. That's true. That'd work also. It's paid off for the loop a few times. Okay, now we're going... Dracula. You want to either complete the left set of drops twice or shoot the loop three times or complete the upper set of drops twice and then shat the left inlay immediately. There you go. This is an owner of the game. Yes, and it's a terrible game. Lost in Space. Raymond approved. Swinger. Strange Science. and Time Fantasy. Wow, that's three crap games and Time Fantasy. Yeah, I know. Lost in Space, Multiball. Multiball. You want to go for the robot Multiball? Yes, the robot, not the other one. Robot. The fighter one's worthless. It is. The warning one you get for free on Ball Free. Yeah. But the robot one's where the points are at. I know because I got the other two when I played it and not the robot. Swinger. I don't even know. I don't even want to know. Strange Science. Bad old Bally. I've never played screen chance. What do you do? It's multiball. It's multiball. It's so hard to get. It's hard to get, yeah. It's so hard to get. There's no other strategy besides multiball? Not really. There's nothing else to do other than just try to get multiball. Time fantasy. Great game. You want to spell time. Snail time? I like snail time. Spell snail and then drain as fast as possible. Yeah. Spell snail. It's not snail, folks. It's spell time. Time. In any order. People are going to be looking all over the play field. Where's snail? Okay. Okay, now Zach might approve of this one too. Might, a little bit. I know the first game he thought. Simpsons Pinball Party. Turd, shoot up top. Yes. Shoot up top. Little Chief. Little Chief. Pinbot. And Nitro Ground Shaker. Their Pinbot sucks. Nitro Ground Shaker. Spinner, shoot it up top. Yeah, but don't get it in the hole because it might kick out right down and drain on you. The left hole. So on theirs, you want to avoid the left hole. Yes. You want to get in the center hole and hopefully the slip for the doubler. And then just hit the spinner repeatedly. Little Chief, go up top until you get your bonus max and then left it at the right gate. What was the other one? Pinbot. Apparently on theirs, the jackpot is set to always minimum. So, it's completely worthless other than to continue to shoot left ramp if you want to do anything. Yeah, left ramp, get up top and go for it. Hope to get skill shots. And Simpson Pinball Party. itchy and scratchy and go up top and start modes. Left, right, orbit. Yuck. Next one, number nine, Cactus Canyon. Lady Luck. Police Force. Do we know which Lady Luck? Doesn't say. It's the... 1976, Roussel. Roussel, I don't even know. That was interesting. Police Force and Jungle Lord. If it's anything like last year, Lady Luck is very tight tilt. You basically want to go up top. Police force? Hit the ramp. Just hit the ramp. Hit the ramp or hit the other ramp. Yeah, exactly. It might have to flip or hop involved also with that. Texas Cannon, multiball. multiball. How do you light locks in police force? You have to hit all the targets. You have to hit all the targets that are around this. I think it's just one thing. I thought it was two. Maybe it's a setting. I think it's two, but I think in the others it's two. But if there's a lock lit, take it. Yeah, definitely take it. Unless, no, you can steal it though. So you've got to be careful with that. It's only two balls. I know. And it is a crappy one. And Jungle Lord. Jungle Lord. Get your Magna Saves lit by shooting the outer right banks, and then go up top and try to go in the holes and hit the drop target. There you go. Okay. Or shats inlanes to get bonus multipliers. That'll get you up to 10x bonus, and then start giving you out lane ball saves. Yeah. So you shats the inlanes, but then you've got to hit the lane. Yeah, it's on a timer. But if you can get that combo going, you get a lot of points. Okay. Okay, 10. Metallica, LE, Pat Hand, oh, God, Torpedo Alley, and Stars. We all know Stars. So, go up top a whole bunch. Or what? Pat Hand. Pat Hand. What was the first one? First one is Metallica. Everyone knows Metallica. Yeah, Metallica. Yeah. And then shoot the spinner a whole bunch, and then shoot the spinner a whole bunch. For Pat Hand? No, for the other two. Oh. Yeah, Torpedo Alley. Yeah. Torpedo Alley spinner. Yeah. Star spinner. Yes. Or drop targets to try to get, try to get to double at least. I would like, you'll miss the spinner some, and then like once you get two down. Now don't forget people, on the, usually the DMDs, there's no ball saved. Oh yeah. So just be careful of that also. That metallic is very mean. Yes it is. Number 11, World Poker Tour. Safari. Which one's Safari? It's the Valley 68. Okay. I don't mind that one. You've got to spell Safari. You've got to get the skill shot on that one. What's the skill shot, Bruce? It all depends on where you get in the top hole. Remember, it actually blinks one light each time, and you have to get that hole. I never played the game. Oh, okay. I don't remember. Stargate and Force II. World Quarter Tour, I forget. I don't even want to talk about World Quarter Tour. multiball, go for... There's some stack you've got to do. You've got to get multiball with Ace in the Hole. Ace in the Hole, yes. It's the only thing that matters, basically. Okay, Stargate. Mr. Wants a Stargate. Stargate. Shoot the pyramid. Shoot the pyramid! Or go for the lit drops in order. Give me what kind of points. Yes, you have to do a 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 land. No, it's like, I don't know what the first three are, but the last two are 40, 80. I think it's 5, 10, oh, it's 5, 10, 20, 40, 80. Yes. And like, a good score on the game is like 200 million. Yes, it is. If you get the 80 drop, like, you're already halfway home. But depending on what mode you get can be worth a lot. Yes, it can. You just got to complete them. And Force 2, the penis game? Drop targets. Drop targets. Hit drop targets. Hit drop. Keep it alive. Keep it to drop targets. So drop targets. Okay. Next bet. And don't get forced. Don't get forced. Oh, my. Oh, my. Austin Powers. Satin doll. Road Kings. And flash. Austin Powers. Hit the toilet. Yeah. And maybe the center shot? Maybe, if it's strong enough. If you're not finding the toilet, basically. They bet you're back up. It's a lot like... You can backhand a four in the toilet, like, just keep shooting the toilet. It actually shoots pretty good. Satin dials. That's the same as pat hand. Yeah. Just shoot up top. Up top, yeah. Pro kings! If you can, shoot the center drop and go up the ramp a little bunch. Check the questions. Otherwise, just bank off the side targets. They're in any. Nobody's on? No. How many people are on? Oh, we got a... Strong out. New York. She's giving a hand signal. I don't know if that's giving us the finger or something. Maybe not. Okay. Once you complete all the side targets, you'll get your locks. Then you can get some points. Okay. Flash. Flash. Hit the drop targets on the left. Like your spinner. Hit the spinner. Or you can go up top, but it's not a very valuable spinner. I've used that strategy against you many times. I beat you. I just want the multiplier. Yeah, that's what I'm going for too. Then you can't lane Jane, so just fear Lock and Quick. All right. No fear for number 14. Go up top. Go up top. Did you miss 13? Oh, yes, I did. Sorry. Circus Voltaire for 13. Is it superstitious? It is. You don't want to get 13? Okay. Card Whiz. Adam's Family. Quicksilver. Okay, Circus Voltaire. Multiball. Do anything a lot, basically. Yeah, multiball. Grant multiball, left-order multiball, or... Or juggler. Or juggler. Cardwhiz. The wrecking crew is here. Wrecking crew is here! Cardwhiz is the Gottlieb of a big bank in the middle, I think. Yes, it is. So you either want to just shoot the bank a whole bunch, or shoot the left-order a whole bunch, if I'm not correctly. Adam's family. The only way to win is not to play. Oh, no. Their Adam's family was a bit mean. You could be valid right for side ramps. Yeah, I think the side ramp. I think I got second, like, 40 million off of just side ramps last time. Yeah, the side ramp, I've been using it here, too. And Quicksilver. Their Quicksilver has the other stock romp, so hit the three bank on the right, get your multiplier all the way up. Just keep on going for the right bank. It stays up. It stays there. And from the right flipper, would you go up top? So push me on the highway. I try to get the drop targets first. Take it to the limit. One more time. Number 14. No fear, freedom, raven, and blackjack. Okay, so the first two go up top a whole bunch. Yes. No fear. You want to go for the shots. No, not go up top. Oh, yeah, or you can go for the... If it's a safe shot, you go for the blocks. And you complete them. Or you go for a skull. Well, the person owns it. I owned it, too. Yeah, if you can loop it like Bruce, yes, go just go the jump ramp repeatedly. They actually, I think they have two no fears. Yeah. And one is very easy to loop and one is not. One is not. If it's not... The one's easy to loop so easy I got two billion. Hit the drop target down, lock ball, start modes. Or stop or start modes and skull. There you go. Uh, Freedom. Go up top. Go up top. Top. Spinner. Go up top. Go up top. Go up top. Go in the luck hole. Go in the luck hole. Go in the luck hole. Go in the luck hole. Raven. Raven. Shats to Spinner? Yes, Shats to Spinner. That one has nothing else to do with that game. That has nothing really else to do with that game. Blackjack. Shatz is shooting the in lane. Shoot either orbit, basically. Spinner or right hole. Yeah, spinner, right hole, spinner, right hole, spinner, right hole. If you get all four up top, you can't move. You get all four up top, the spinner goes from 10 points to 100 points. 1,000. 1,000, that's right, even better. If you get the spinner lit, just keep doing it. And if you have the spinner lit, let it drain on the out lane, because that's 50k. That's almost like... And then the right side is just always good. Yeah. Just keep shooting it. Yeah, get your multiplier up or you just get 5K or out the bat. Okay. Batman. Dark Knight. Centigrade 37. Blackwater 100. And Warlock. Dark Knight, just go for multi-balls. Same thing. Don't forget your skill shot in the beginning. Their Dark Knight, it's set on, like, four hits per Joker lock. Yes, I know. So, like... Don't go for Joker. Go for the center ramp or go for the... Try to start Scarecrow and use it. Shot. Shot. Center grade. Stay away from the side. Pachinko. That is also the most points are. It is, but you stay away from it because half the time you've got to go drain. The hole is good if you can hit it, but you're going to miss into the waterfall. Otherwise, go up top. Yep. Black water 100. Don't forget your super skill. Go up to your skill shot. Drop targets are very good in that game, too. What's the skill shot? If you time it right with the... Oh, that's the ready, set, go. Yeah, right. That's right. Ready, set, go! Yeah. And then you can use the secondary flipper buttons to change what bank of drop targets are shot as well. Yes. And you want to get the bank... You want the drop targets if you're going to play it like a normal sort of game. Yeah. So find whatever you can hit. Yes. And keep hitting that with the... Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Warlock. Warlock is like... Warlock is blackout. Blackout. Each spinner has a drop target bank associated with it. You hit the bank down, it makes the spinner worth like 1,000. So you find a safe bank and shoot it. And you crush the spinner continuously. And it also has the bonus from Meteor, but apparently it doesn't matter. 16, Junkyard, Volley, Bram Stroker's Dracula, and Stroker Ace, and Barracora. That's a good bank. That's actually a fun bank. I've never played Junkyard in my life, and I have no idea how to do it. Junkyard's terrible. Hit the crane. Hit the crane. I never... It's a wrecking ball thing. They had an IPA and no one went for the crane. There's other ways to play it. I don't know what they are. You can go for the out-hole. You can go for the dog. You can go for the dog. You can go for the video mode. Volley. Volley. Drop targets. You want to get... Get your lane up top. Yep. And then go for that drop target. Bank so you can clear it and get the points. The 5,000 instead of being 500. Bram, Stroker, Dracula. Stack, stack, stack. Three multi-balls. Yes. Watch the end of the... Get the mist. IFBA championships if you want to see how to play correctly. Barracora. Spell Barracora. Go for spinner. Yeah, you want to... You really want to complete the right bank in order to let the upper lock, because that's a ball save. Yes, it is. But to complete the left bank in order to let the other lock is still to a multiball. And then a multiball go for the banks more, basically, right? Yep. Number 17, Tron Pro 300 Corvette and Cosmic Gunfight. Tron, do all the stuff. Tron, do all the stuff. Go for the multiball. Go for the, you know... 300, hit the spinner on the left. Don't hit the combos, too. 300, go for the spinner and avoid the entire right half of the plate. You got it, because that's your waterfall of death. Corvette. Corvette. Multiball. Just try. Do the super skill shot. Try. Just keep it moving. I go a whole bunch of left orbits until I light, like, the... The tracks? Oh, no. You go in the center Vuck, which lights a mode in stupid left orbit over and over and over until you complete the mode. Then you repeat. I think that's how it goes. Cosmic gunfight. It's been a while. Right orbit. Right orbit. That's all you do. Don't even go from In the case of my game last year, just everyone, no one hits a single right orbit the entire game. We just all drain. Well, that's a problem. 18. Transformers Pro. Nip it. Genesis. And Firepower. Well, that's a grind, Bank. There it is. Transformers. Grind everything. Yeah, just keep on trying. There's actually multiple opinions on how to play Transformers. You can go for it. It all depends on how it kicks out. If you're playing, watch and see how Gamertron kicks out. Not Gamertron. Not Gamertron. Gamertron. That's my mental. I hope you go later so you can see that before you change sides. It's a Decepticon. No, you're going for the... Megatron. Megatron, that's it. The other thing is, can you live catch out of the left orbit when it comes down left orbit and pops? If you can catch it, you can play the game very controlled. Otherwise, you're in a bit of trouble. Just play them all. Nip it. Nip it. Yeah. Nip it is get the zippers and... Zip it, shoot the left shot, and then catch it with the gator and repeat. Yep. You got it. Genesis. Genesis. Shoot the ramps. Shoot the ramps and get the safest shot and get your parts. Yeah. Your body parts. That game was very controllable last year. Fire power. Die. Hit the six stand-ups. Hit the spinner.

By going up top. Yes. Funhouse. Funhouse. Do the Funhouse thing. Just go through modes. Start with a quick multiball. Short plunging ball one and then do a ramp. Side shot. Rudy. Over and over and over until you get multiple. Black Pyramid. Orbits. Orbits and die. Orbits. You got it. Oh god. Number 20. Revenge from Mars. High low ace. Robocop. And Incredible Hulk. Incredible Hulk, I'm assuming it's a guy. Why did they do that to Robocop? What? I don't know. Revenge from Mars, go through modes. Get a multiball. That's the only way to play it, basically. Yeah, get multiball, go for modes. High-low ace. That's the flip card ones with the monkey. Isn't that the flip card? I thought that was flip flop. No, it's not. It's flip flop. It's sort of like it. Wow do we have one we don know I don know It Hylo Hylo Ace It the monkey on it There it is Hylo Ace. Has cards on it. No, yeah, in the back glass there's a monkey. So we don't know. inlanes. I don't know. I don't know. How about Robocop? Robocop hit the ramp. Hit the spinner. Shoot the spinner. Spinner is your all day. Just don't even ignore everything. Their spinner worked very well. Yes, don't go for multiball in that game. Hit the spinner. I did it last year in the C Finals. Hit the spinner. You can light a spinner by getting the drop targets, but they're kind of deathy. Incredible Hulk, walk away. Yes, yeah. Go up top. Go up top. And if you get lucky enough. Just keep going. Yep. Terrible day for your life. This is a good bank now. 21. X-Men Premium.

And yeah, it's a side target so you can get the two little modes. High Hand. that's the flip card one. No, high hand is the one that Josh hates. Isn't it? No, it's Gottlieb. It's the one of the hole you can't shoot. Yes, so you just gotta hope. So you wanna complete as many banks as possible. And hope you get in the middle. Or drain outlanes. So a game where draining correctly. Yes. Roller games! Roller games! Or shoot the left ramp over and over and over. Basically left See Richie shot Left orbit Around to the To the ramp Or the feed shot Right next to left orbit Either way You're going to shoot The side ramp An alien star Shats Yeah Shats There's the shats I've played those Many times There's a They're missing The out lane rubbers So if you shats Too well You're going to drain Yeah But I've never had One or two shats Out spinners Will probably win you The game Yeah basically I think I won it last year I literally just hit one With spinner Yeah that was me too Just hope you get a flip because it will just drain you. 22, Elvis, Gay 90s, Swords of Fury, and Fathom. What about the quarter mark, folks, the quarter mark of this? Quarter. Quarter. How long did that take? It's only 8.05. Oh, okay. So it might get done by before this Silver Ball closes.

Keep it in the upper play field as much as you can. Then get it back up to the upper play field and get the locks. This is a good game. And then shoot the locks. Well, don't forget, you said he wasn't around in the second half. He didn't get to do the rules. It's a playoff. The layout's only sort of bad. The rules are really bad. The rules are really bad. Fathom. Fathom. Up top. Yeah. Spinner. Yeah. Get the spinner lit with the side shot. You know, the middle side shot. Yes. Game 90 is one of those games where middle swinging targets. So I'm going to say go up top. Go up top and avoid the swinging target. Is there any game where there's a swinging target they actually want to hit? No, probably not. That's a poor play field thing. Alright. 23. Yeah? Do you have one? What's the really bad game that came out? What's the really bad game that came out? According to you, like Iron Maiden. No, that's not a swinging target, though. It's from China. Oh! That's not a swinging target. You want to hit that because it'll kill you quick. That's a swinging target? It does. So they decided to implement every bad thing. And it's the thing you want to shoot because you want to die as fast as possible. He's got a point. He does. Number 23. Tales of the Arabian Nights, Cosmos, Fire, and Supersonic. Okay. Tales of the Arabian Nights. Hit the stupid. Hit the spinner. Hit the lamp. You want to spin that lamp. Spin the lamp. And if you get the Bazaar, you hope to get the 3X. Can you do the lamp during multiple? Yes. Yes. Yes. That's what I usually try to do, try to get the lightning with a lamp. It's not too hard to get your multiball in there. Cosmos. Bally 1969. That's the zipper flipper. Terrible. Terrible. Look it up on Bob... Bob O'Louis. Who's Bob? Matthews. Oh, okay. Look it up on Bob Matthews' site, and it'll probably say go top. Fire. Fire. Hey, there's only one here. If there's only one here, you hit the side targets or you make the loops to spot yourself one up top. The upper loop will actually spot you. The inner loop. The upper inner loop. The tiny little loop. The little loop, yeah, where you get the multiplier also. Shoot that whole bunch. Shoot that whole bunch. It will spot you a fire target. Or chance the lit in lane to spot your targets. Spot your targets too. Plus there's lock ceiling, isn't there? Yes, there is. Oh, yeah. So if you get in a multiball, what the hell do you do? Shoot the targets more. Shoot the targets and then get the ramps. Yep. Just flail, basically. Yeah, flail. Flail. Supersonic. Supersonic. Supersonic. Super electronic. Shoot the right spinner over and over. If you're on the right flipper, then just try. Get the center lane. Yeah, center lane. Nice. Spider-Man. Which one? Cern. I've already got Lee. Damn it. King Cool. Tommy. And Haunted House. Ugh, that's a terrible bank. Haunted House. Just the... Spider-Man. Go to any play field and stay there. Keep it on one playfield at a time. Probably the lower playfield. That's the easiest one to get to. Spider-Man. Spider-Man. There's a shot-cock over there. Well, theirs will have no posts and no center posts. Dock-cock. Dock-cock. Dock-cock. Dock-cock. King-Cool. Shoot the spinners. Yep. And Tommy. Some modes are good, especially the multiball modes. Yeah. Know what the good modes are. Yep.

Rotor in. Okay, this is going to be Zach's favorite bank of all time. Iron Maiden Pro. Jumping Jack. Never actually played that. Jumping Jack's actually good because it depends on where you get your out hole. it's actually a skill shot how much when you plunge not an out-hole you get a kick-out-hole one's lit and one's not go on the lit one and not keep shooting up the center yeah exactly jokers jokers shoot the inner left shot repeatedly exactly centaur keep it alive multiball get the upper lanes keep on getting up top do the center drops in order is the biggest thing or get up top and get the multiplier all the way up too with the top Yeah, but you still want to keep it alive. Well, you can chat to the inlanes. I remember those were pretty bricky, those targets, if I remember correctly, last time I played it. Iron Maiden, do the Iron Maiden thing. Center, center, center, center, center, center, center, center. Metallica Pro for 26. Fast Drawer. Fast Drawer. That's the Pro. The last one was Premium. Yes. I didn't know they had a Premium. Jokers. I thought we already had that. Sorry, Grand Lizard. I was looking. And Harlem. Woke Trotters on tour. Grand Lizard, go up top. Yeah, go up top. Keep it up top. Harlem, drop target spinner. Drop target spinner. Mostly just drop targets. Fast draw. Until you get the spinner to the top. Fast draw. Fast draw, you can either go for the death drop targets repeatedly, or you can go up top and try to fall into the unshootable kickout holes. Lots of points. And Metallica's Metallica. Okay. 27. Flintstones. Feeces, I mean faces F-14 Tomcat and Black Knight So go up top, go up top, go up top and go up top Those are all the games, everything go up top F-14 Tomcat is the right right orbit repeatedly Feeces is a left but you've got to get the spinner That goes up top Black Knight, you get up to the upper plate and get your locks Is it set for except for hard locks. So you have to do the loop first and then down on the bottom. Do you even want to do a loop or do you just hit a lot of drops up top? Which black knight? Originalized. Original. Original. And Flintstones. Go up top. Complete. Bowling. Bowling. Bowling. No, not bowling. I do bowling and it does pretty good for me. Oh, we have some otherwise. Go up top. 28. Shrek. Prospector. Jurassic Park. and Mystic. So Shrek, you're screwed because they took out the post on the captive balls. So you can't ever go for a Stewie Pinball, which is the only thing that matters in that game. So I guess you're just going to grind modes. No, you're just going to grind modes. Spinner to light them, scoop to start them. Yep, and then get the ramps. User mode or wherever they call it. Fart multiball. Get fart multiball or you get the can enough you can go for... Yeah, get your pity multiball on ball three because you suck. Prospector. Shoot the Spinner. Shoot the Spinner, of course. Jurassic Park. Go for modes. Yeah. Adam's Family. Yep, Adam's Family, definitely. And Mystic. Spinner, Spinner, up top. Hit the Captive Ball and Spinner. Because that's the edge multiplier for the Captive Ball. Next. It's 29. Scared Stiff. Butterfly. Transporter. Wildfire That's a bad bag Scared stiff is good Scared stiff Go for multiball Of course And then go for multiball Butterfly Spinner Get it back up top There isn't a spinner On butterfly But go up top Get it back up top Yeah that's what I meant Or I think there's a Kick out from the left That's good Yeah it's hard to get though But that's the only Two things you want to do In that game Jurassic Park Same thing as Sorry Transporter Sorry I gotta Troll it up Transporter You either want to Get multiball By completing the drops to, like, your locks, and then locking them on the ramp, and then completing the drops again during multiple to get your jackpot. Wildfire. Or shoot the buck under the upper right flipper, stir the cup a whole bunch, and then somehow collect the value from the cup. Yeah, somehow. I didn't figure out that part. Yeah, someone at the Sanctum showed me. I still don't understand that. I think there's a target, like, below the cup to the right of the ramp or something. And wildfire. Go top. Yeah. Go top. Yep. Wildfire. If you thought Dracula was good, then I'm sorry. Mm-hmm. because we made Wildfire. 30. ACDC Premium. Blue Chip. Terminator 2. And Big Game. No. Two games in there. ACDC Shoot the Ramps. Yep. Ramps, Ramps, Ramps. multiball. Ramps. Ramps. Ramps. Otherwise multiball. Yep. Big Game. Get a spinner and back up top. Back up top. Back up top. Definitely. Spell Big Game. Yeah, if you can.

The Zodiac sign. you gotta yes you gotta go up top wow you know I don't these games are too complicated for me shoot either ramp over and over and over and hope that the random jackpot gives you points 32 Avengers LE Rogo Judge Dredd and X's and O's that's a terrible bank at least it's Judge Dredd I'm paying money for this bank yeah it's gonna cost you like about $25. Exactly. Avengers. Go for Hawkeye. Left orbit, left orbit, left orbit. If you can get the Black Widow shot, get the Black Widow shot. But you can't. I can't. Is that the ramp that's unhittable? That's the center one. But if you had one spin off the spinner, it counts. So you can go for Hulk, too, if you really want to be courageous. Yeah. And you try to get into the luck multiball hole. Pinball Princess wants to know if she can cheeseburger. And she wants to know why Zach is not wearing gray. That's true. You're not? Well, he's wearing gray cargos. They're tan cargos. They're tan? I am wearing bluish gray because all my gray t-shirts are in the wash right now to prepare for Pinbird. He has to get his outfits, his uniform ready. So, Rogo. Back up top. I'm sorry. Your shirt is gray. Yeah. Judge Dredd. Go for modes. Yeah, go for modes. And a lit ramp or fuck for modes or complete dread. Yeah, dread to start your multiball. You can use blackout to get a two multiball mode to go for dread. And then go for your multiball. And go for your multiball. And then ramp and then center shot. And don't play Eric Stone in it. Yeah. Don't do that. No, that was fun. Space shuttle. I'm sorry, X and O's. Sorry, X and O's. That's a skill shot in the beginning. Oh, that's a skill shot. Yeah, you'll have to run up there because you will not get... Be ready when the last person drains. for some drains. And then just targets. Because it's overpowered, if I recall. It's way overpowered. Targets up top. Yep. 33, Iron Man, which is a brutal one there. Mars Trek, Indiana Jones, the Williams, and Joker Poker. It's actually a pretty good-sounding bank. Except for Iron Man. No, Iron Man. Iron Man, just go for ramps, ramps, ramps, ramps, ramps. Use the ramps to light the orbits. Yes. I go for orbits. Double binder. Mars Trek. Go up top. Go up top. Get your spelled Mars Trek. No, don't even bother. Well, you can get it if you... By accident. Yeah, you can get it. I'll get you as a special. It's worthless. Indiana Jones Williams. multiball. Drop target, drop target, drop target, drop target, multiball. Hit the super, you'll win. Joker Poker. Get your targets. Yeah, get your targets. Get whatever bank is lit for your ball. Get all the other banks. But mostly get the way a bank is lit for your ball. I say four to one odds. Can we get my bookie to do a prop bet on whether Ron will wear the blue or gray sweater? I say the odds would be four to one gray, two to one blue. I do have one or the other. It's not here. It's in the car. Which will it be? We'll have to find out and see. We will find out. I'm thinking blue. I'm thinking gray. Oh. I think there's just one, just to get my mom's reaction. I'm more like reacting are you willing to bet on that? I'll bet a buck I owe you ten anyway I owe you ten for the bet we did last episode oh yes I bet you ten dollars you won't guess it and I just immediately say the name of the game Space Jam I don't know how you did that so we're back on Joker Poker, we got the target so now we're on number 34 Kiss Premium Yes! Time Zone, High Speed, and Solar Ride. High Speed, one of Zach's favorites because you just said Siren. High Speed, it's a game even worse than Solar Ride. Whoa. No, Solar Ride's bad. Yes, High Speed, the game that sold over how many units? I don't know, 20,000 units? Just the Gattons family. Yeah, that's a good game too. No, it's not. It is. You're wrong. No, I'm not wrong. Solar Ride is crap though. It is crap. I hate Solar Ride. Time Zone. What are you doing solo ride, though? It's just because it's crap, doesn't it? Up top, up top, up top. Up top. Wow. Is everything up top? Okay, how about time zone? I don't know what time zone is. Time zone is that's one with a plunge time. Remember we played it out at where you plunge the ball when it's doing the cone in the play field? Oh, it's got the multi-layer cone thing? Yes, multi-layer cone thing. So you have to pull the ball when it's on the highest tip of the cone, which in most points when you're playing, to actually complete something. It's a terrible game. Kiss Kiss Kiss is kiss multiball Love gun It depends on how Yeah, love gun Or it depends on how Gene kicks out That's right Well, you know There's a ball saver If I shoot it down the middle Unless I disable it That would be freaking cruel It's almost like It's off by default Yes 35 Godzilla Monaco Tales from the Crypt And Sinbad That sounds like You're kind of bank Godzilla Shoot anything repeatedly Yes And get them Start that Start that Monaco. Spinner. Left. Left. Spinner's on the left. Yeah. Spinner or right saucer. Yeah, right saucer to collect. Tales from Crypt. Mode. Mode. Mode. Mode. Mode. Mode. Yeah, let's go for the hole. Sinbad. Sinbad. Get the drop target banks. Yes. Try to get them all. Get your multiplier. Don't die. Don't die. And don't get tripped up by the flippers. Okay, now we found... I have now found the worst bank so far. Bank 36. Big Hurt Zig Zag City Slicker and Buck Rogers oh that is the worst bank ever my first year I had Big Hurt and City Slicker as a bank and that was fun Big Hurt the right hole starts modes half of which are multi balls you shoot up the big hopefully you don't get caught you can hopefully get the home runs. How about you slam, tilt, and break it so then you have to remove it? Zigzag. Which one is that? That's William 64. William 64, so it's probably got pointy artwork. Yeah, I don't know. City Slicker. Terrible game. City Slicker, you want to go up top? Yeah, go up top. Buck Rogers. You can't really go up top after you... And it drops. And it drops. Yeah, it just drops. That was very target of suck. Yes, it does. That you ignore. Is that the two-level one? No. City Slicker is. Okay, here we go. 37, Avatar, Space Odyssey, TX Sector number 2, and then Ready, Aim, Fire. Zach loves that game. I don't know why. It's crap, but it's fun. It's crap, but it's fun. We already talked about Spinner. It's mostly fun just watching all the players. Space Odyssey, do not go for the target in the middle. Do not. Spinner all the day. So another swinging target you don't go for? Yes, you do not go. Avatar Pro. lock and link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link, link. Try to get your X on the link. Yes. And then get the super, and then you win. Ready, aim, fire. You want to go for the different colors and complete them. Is that the one with the 30 zillion pop-up? Yes, it is. It has one shot, which goes up top. Yes. Great game. And it has the terrible music. It does the... I can't hear it. It's terrible. It's bad. 38, Lord of the Rings. You walk away. dragon game show dragon bow dragon go up top game show the ramps it's ramps on that one yes and Cleopatra go up top and once you get the whole angel ains up top hit their corresponding drop targets in your adventures and dragon you want to what is it the lane you go through determines what pop-up is worth any yes yeah you want to go through the left right or middle lane to light one of the three pop-up. Because there's five lanes and two don't do anything. And then just hit that pop-up over and over. Lord of the Rings is Lord of the Rings. Yep. Multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi-multi. Correct. Game of Thrones Premium, Miss O, Big Guns, and Cheetah. Cheetah. One good game, Cheetah. Game of Thrones, do the Game of Thrones thingies. Yeah, well, not in the rules. They all have a code, I'm sure. So just cry. Cry. Miss O. You either want to shoot the center loop or go up top. Top. Safer. Middle pop game. Big guns. You want to get up top and try to lock a ball. Possible. No, ignore the locks. Go for the drop targets. Really? Okay. That's what I told you last time. You won, Bruce. I won second. Close enough. You would have won if you did it right. Cheetah. Cheetah. They have the modified Rom-Monic. I gave them the Rom. So it will now have unlimited bonus collect on the left. Good. That's the only thing I can do. So what's your strategy on Cheetah, Ron? On Cheetah, I go through one through five and spell the awards and just keep hitting the three bank on the right repeatedly. And if you can get up top, you want to go for the multiplier to build up your multiplier. But if you get the three bank on the right, the second or third time it starts increasing the multiplier. It's a lot harder now, yes. I know. It's way easier than trying to get it up top, that three bank. I'm going to be going for the grid. Wow. Do not go for the grid. If you want to play cool games, go for the grid. No, that's... I've won, like, every game of cheat I've played at your place off the grid. Yeah, but we were playing grid. We were playing grid ball. In the state finals. Upstate finals, I went for the grid and won. You're crazy. Rolling Stone. Stone Pro. MiniZag. Hurricane. And Solar Fire. Man. Yeah, one good game there. Solar Fire. Rolling Stones, go for the ramps. Safest way. And then get the lock. Hit me. No, no, no, no, no. It can work. It barely works. It depends on how people are doing. Licks. Licks. You can do Licks, too. Start a mode, maybe. Yeah. Licks. Mini Zag. Valley 68. I don't know. Go up top. Go up top. Go up top. Hurricane. Don't play it. Ramps. Ramps, ramps, ramps. Maybe the Ferris wheel. You can do the Ferris wheel now. It's safe. It's a safe shot. Solar fire. Go up top. Go up top. Yep. Just go up top? Yeah, go top and hit. Go top and hit the big bank a lot. Yeah. Okay. You'll see it. Can't miss it, folks. It's big. 41. Attack from Mars, Captain Fantastic, Guns N' Roses, and Scorpion. Wow. Okay, so. One game good. Attack from Mars. Go for locks. multiball, locks. Multi-balls. Some crazy people will do saucers. Or you can do loops. You can go for... Bounce past loops. I saw one guy do it, and I was like, oh my god, he crushed it. I would be doing locks or saucers. Captain Fantastic, do not use the third flipper at all, and just keep on going up top. I mean, you can go up top from the third if you want. But don't. Don't even... Ignore the third flipper, always. I think I played that, and the score was like 85, 84, 83. Guns and Roses. Mode, mode, mode, and ramps. And backhand the lock. Backhand the lock. Yeah, you can on that one. Oh, that one. That one's got the mod. Big freaking thing on it. So you want to do ramps, and you want to go for modes. Tips specific to pop-up. No, there is no pity-minty ball in this one. They disabled that. Yes. Because guess who programmed it? I thought it still had it, but you only get two balls. You only get two. You only get three balls. It's not really going for it. And you can hear about Lyman's contributions to that game in episode 100 of the Slant Hill Podcast. Thank you. Wow. Thank you. And Scorpion. Up top, up top. Spinner, up top. Up top. So don't go for multiball? God, no. I don't know. I've never played the game. GoldenEye. Wait, wait, wait. You own the game. It hasn't worked yet. I've only had it like three years. You've had it three years and you don't know how to play? Okay, let's move on. GoldenEye. I think this is going to be another Zach good one. GoldenEye. Doodlebug. Taxi. And Flash Gordon. We didn get a bad out of that so you notice that was a pretty good bang for it That pretty much as good as you going to get Their taxi didn play the best if I remember correctly So GoldenEye start modes ramps Multi Locks all day Yeah, locks all day. multiball. Doodlebug. Yeah, Doodlebug. A lot of ways to play it. Yeah, I know. They're all going to kill you. They're all going to kill you. It's Doodlebug. Shoot the targets. Yeah, shoot the targets. That's what I would do. That's what I would do, too. You have to. Because their pops are too weak to actually go back in the hole. You got it. They're not going to. because they need to rebuild. They might have rebuilt them. Taxi. Get a good skill shot. Go for a multiball. What is a multiball? Skill shot is a plunge. You want to get 100,000, you don't want to go over. Flash Gordon. Flash Gordon, soft plunge. Go for the drop targets, go for the bonus. Drops, drops, and drops. No, drop, drops, and also the targets in the middle you want to get because you have to get all the light up. and you... There are no targets in the middle. Just pop them first. Oh, that's right. Oh, that's side me. There are targets around that. Yeah. So targets. And you gotta get inlanes, and the inlanes too. Targets, targets, targets, targets. You'll get the inlanes or you'll die. Yeah, you hope. Mario Andretti. Triple action. World Cup soccer. And World Cup. Oh, what a terrible bank. One of the best games and one of the worst games in the same bank. Triple action, just... Mario Andretti, just... ...under crap. Triple, okay. Triple action is complete utter crap. Triple action is you go up top until you match your bonus and then you cry. You'll remember it from Starpool at the last year's finals. World Cup soccer. Ramps. Start your multiball. Soccer ball. Or left orbit. Or you can do left orbit. Or goals. Yeah, for goals. There's a lot of ways. Shoot stuff. Yep. World Cup. Let it just go and decide the kickers, and it'll kick and hit your targets and you just go back in there. That's what one guy did. He actually walked away from the game. He's like, I can't even play this because it kept on hitting, going back into the hole, the other side. Shooting up, kicker. Shooting up, kicker. He's like, I'm not playing this, guys. He goes, look, no hands. He was actually, it was funnier than hell. The bad game out of the trifecta of Alien Poker and Laser Q. Only three games of that guy. Mario Andretti. I couldn't even tell you. I assume that a mode or a plunge will give you a multiball. Yeah. Because it's Gottlieb. It's Gottlieb. We're sorry. Run with it. This is an okay bank. Monster Bash, Aztec, Vegas, and Blackout. So Monster Bash, it's Monster Bash. Go for your ramps or go for multiball. Yeah. Aztec. Go up top. Yep. Vegas. Vegas hit the left orbit Yep left orbit all the time Blackout Corresponding target with bank to get Spinners lit and then keep on hitting spinners Probably yellow bank is the safest one Yes 45 GoldenEye again Hocus Pocus Freddy Nightmare on Elm Street And Xenon Yeah Hocus Pocus go up top Yep Freddy shoot the boiler room Yes. Which is up top. Yep. Xenon. Just go up top. Yeah, you could. Or ramp if you're... And Goldeneye we talked about before. Mode, ramps, you can do it a couple different ways. Family Guy we've talked about. Surfer. Surfing Safari. Which surfer? I don't know which surfer. Valley of 1976. Yeah, that's a bad one. Surfing Safari. Yeah. And Meteor. All right. Family Guy we've talked about. That's Shrek. That's right, Peter. We talked about it. Yes, we did. We're Stewie when we need him. I don't know any of these early valleys. Surfer. So what do we do on Surfer? I think it's the same waterfall on the right-hand side. I'm betting it has zipper flippers. No, it's Gottlieb. I thought you said it was a valley. No, he said it. No, no, Gottlieb, 1976. Oh, that's the first verse of Surf Champ. Yeah. There you go. Don't you own that game? I do own that game. Then what do you do? You try to hit the rollover stars, and you hit the drops a lot. There you go. And go up top if you can. Surf and Safari. Surf and Safari, one of my favorites. You complete the grid. It's so fun. Shoot the left ramp a whole bunch. I love it. And then shoot the right ramp a whole bunch. And shoot the hole a whole bunch. Meteor. Take the drop targets down almost to the end. And go for the spinner. Or go for banks. Spinners and twos. That's it. Spinners and twos. That's my safe. 47. Guardians of the Galaxy Pro. El Toro. Wait, it gets better. Shack Attack. and 8-Ball Deluxe. Guardians of the Galaxy. Do whatever. Yeah, just get the... Get your multiplied Groot. Yeah. El Toro. Crying. Crying, yeah, keep it alive. Go up top. Basically just a Gryffindor, Bagatella, Flippers. Wow. Shack Attack. Go up top. Spell Shack. 8-Ball Deluxe. Up top, up top, up top. Actually, that's the safest way. Well, right drops ball one, I would say. If you complete a back ball one. But if you don't, you keep on going to left orbit, you're going to keep on building that score up every time. It really does work. It's tedious and it's very unfulfilling, but guess what? Every time you're getting 50,000 when you go up that side shot after five shots. Speaking of unfulfilling, the next game? The Hobbit. Old Chicago. Whitewater and Middle Earth. So hopefully by Middle Earth we'll break down by the second round. It's okay. It's like crap. It's got to be a bit in the middle. So Hobbit. You do Hobbit-y things. Yeah, you just do multiball. You shoot the ramps a lot. Old Chicago. Hit the spinner a whole bunch and go in the center hole. Whitewater. Don't want... Do the Whitewater thing. Do the White Thorn and just keep on going for upper... Go for modes, you know. Center shot, center shot, center shot. Make sure you don't have to fall away from the microphone. Middle Earth. Cry. Cry and just hope it's broken by then. I hope it's broken by then. 49. We're almost halfway there. We're past halfway point now. Breakshot. Aerobatics. World Cup Soccer again. And Future Spot. This might be Ron's. At one time, Papa had like at least nine World Cup Soccer. I had three at one time, so I can believe it. He had like nine of those. They had nine No Fears. I don't know why they had so many. Because they probably got them cheap. Brave Shot, you hit that thing in the center. The only game with a weird center toy that you actually go for. Yeah, you actually enjoy. Enjoy is a strong word. Aerobatic spinner, spinner, spinner all day, right? If I remember correctly. I don't know. It's a Zachariah. Yeah, it's a one-player Zachariah. You played it last year, too. I remember it was pretty cool. I liked it. I liked it. Spinners are usually good, though. World Cup Soccer, we just talked about before. And Future Spa. Drop targets. Inline drops. Inline drops. The only way you're going to make money points on. Maybe the spinner if you're on a flipper. They do usually have it on the setting where it spots letters for the targets, thank God. Oh, God, this next bank really sucks. 50. Total nuclear annihilation. Space mission. Mousing around. That's a good game. And old kiss. Okay, good, bad, good, bad. Yeah. No. Bad, bad, good, bad. TNA, steal your opponent's locks. Yes. Steal your opponent's locks. Space mission we already went over. Yeah, which is just go left spinner all day. Don't go for the swinging target. Mousing around. Wish you had one. Shoot whatever shot you can a lot. Yeah, exactly. Right ramp or left orbit are the best, I think. Hey, Kish. Drop targets. Cry. Spinner. Complete kiss. Go in the center lane? If you can. On your plunge, yes, of course. 51. Rollercoaster Tycoon. Atlantis, which is the Gottlieb. Hoops! And Flight 2000. I like that one. Except for their Flight 2000. Rollercoaster-type current. It does. Shoot ramps a whole bunch. Yeah, whatever. Traffic sign on it. Atlantis. Try to hit two drops at once. And avoid the waterfall. Hoops! Get your skill shot. Skill shot the lane and the target. Hit the lit spinner. Hit the lit spinner and run, run, run. Flight 2000. Spell. Go for the left shot so you can keep on going. Get it back up top. Spinner, spinner, spinner. Yeah, or you can go for the right spinner and just that three bank. Spinner, spinner, spinner. Over and over and over and over and over. Spinner or spinner. So you're saying spinner. Spinner. Okay. 52, Wizard of Oz. Starpool, Adam's Family, and Volcano. Oh, God. Nice. Who's on this? Who's on right now? Let's see who's on. Wizard of Oz, Rage Tilt, and Hulk the Prank. Did we just get Thanos? Yes. It looks like Thanos. So Bruce wants to see. We have eight viewers. Wow, we're killing them. We're killing it, man. Wizard of Oz. We're telling them what to do. Wizard of Oz. I can't figure out what to do. It's in our league. I've tried. Go over to rollovers. You want a full plunge into the pops. Yes. to try to light rescue. Yes. Then shoot the orbit to get your ball captured. And then shoot the drop target to go into the buck to go to the upper playfield to complete rescue. And then go in the door on the timer to start your two-ball rescue multiball. Yes. Then you want to hit three rollover buttons a whole bunch to light your locks and shoot the right ramp three times to light all your locks. And then you want to complete the ball targets to light your crystal ball multi-balls. See, none of this is possible on ours because it drains within, like, ten seconds. And then you want to stack your multi-balls and get balls in multiple playfields to multiply your scoring potential. Meanwhile, just sob. A lot. Starpool. That's the one that's in the finals, right? Got all that now for me? Yes, it was, yeah. So, go top O-box and try. Yeah, top, top, top. Until you max it out. Add a family. We know what that turns. Volcano. Go for the left shot, if I remember correctly. The left spinner shot comes in, you flip it, hit the drops, or probably throw it in the skee-ball thing. It can't hurt. It does hurt. It hurts to play it. That hurts my pride. Okay, 53. I like this one. This is my favorite bank so far. Terminator 3, Gator, Whitewater, $6 million man. Don't comment. T3. T3, ramp, ramp, ramp, ramp. Ramp, ramp, ramp. Right orbit. Ramp, ramp, ramp, left orbit. Right or right orbit. You want to get it because then you can dip the upper play field. Oh, no. Right orbit is the increasing. The left orbit is going to the most. Yes, I know, but at right orbit, if it's lit for the gun up top. RPG. RPG, you want that. Only when it's lit, though. Yeah, only when it's lit. Unless it's lit anywhere completely. Yeah. Or if it's mystery. Or if it's mystery, too, because sometimes you can get a good mystery. You can get through a four bonus. Left orbit by completing the lanes. Yes, but you've got to go... Off ramps. Yes, you've got to go off ramps. To get your payback time. Yep. They don't have this on tournament mode? The mystery and tournament mode always sucks in that game. It's in a specific order. Yes. Yeah. Yes. If they have it on tournament mode. Yeah. Yeah. which they do. They will. Not only, most of the games I played last year were not on tournament mode. Wow. Okay. I played Jackpot was on tournament mode which is crazy. Some other game I played also was on tournament mode. So if it's on tournament mode the awards are award weapon Yeah. Then it's molded multiplier and then it's points. Something like that. Yeah. Yeah, all of a sudden. Gator. Zipper flipper. Zipper flipper. You want to light all the lights and then shoot the left orbit around into the gate but you can't make it because the clippers suck, so you just hold them. Yes. Whitewater, we talked about that a few minutes ago. Six Million Dollar Man. Up top, up top, up top, up top, up top, up top, up top, up top, up top, up top. Okay, 54, CSI. Did you do Whitewater? We did. We already talked about it before. Oh, sorry. Spear 76, Bounty Hunter, and Paragon Hunter. The Gottlieb? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, God. Yeah. Is that the one with the backless with the huge head? Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of games. Yeah, but this one... Okay, so CSI, shoot the ramp a whole bunch. Yep. And then shoot the whirly thingy a whole bunch. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Then shoot the ramp some more. Spirit of 76. Up top. Yeah, up top. Or shoot all the drops and then cry. Yeah. Bounty Hunter. We talked about AFM, and there goes Dad going into AFM right now. Bounty Hunter is just so incredibly bad. I remember playing it forever. Going up top or shooting the loop is good. Ish. But nothing's good on that game. Let's see, Paragon. Oh, no, we're... Paragon. Oh, we're in the next... Oh, let's see. Paragon. Drop targets. Or go up top. Some people just say go up top. Yeah. That's what I'll be doing. 55. Aerosmith Pro. Doozy. Dr. Dude. And Counterforce. I know there's like Not many Aerosmith hope you Fungalock by accident Yes What makes the luck Is that when you do that You get credit for your luck Doozy Doozy is the same as Doodlebug Freakout Oh Freakout That's right That's right Sorry What was the next one Doctor Dude Go ramp ramp ramp And hope that you get lucky In the Mixmaster Mixmaster Can't Counterforce Go for the Drop targets Of everything You know Drops All around Dirty Harry for 56 Grand Prix Creature from the Black Lagoon and Skateball I will approve this round also This looks like a fun one It's Bruce approved Well Dirty Harry Dirty Harry go for multiball Dirty Harry go for dip edges Go for multiball Grand Prix Spinner, spinner, spinner Go up top Go up top, spin top No, no, no, no, no, no Grand Prix Stern 2005 Oh There just went my Go for multiball multiball multiball. Hit center shot. Go for ramp. It's a car. Lit shot will spell lock. Hit lock and left ramp. Yeah. Good thinking off the left flipper for your second lock plunge. Creature from the Black Lagoon. Cry. Cry. Skill shot in the beginning so you can get one of your modes. Do a combo with it. Then go from there. And then just go from center and go for move your car. Move your car. Move your car. If you can catch it off the right orbit coming down. Ah, shit. He won a game. He's got to play it again. Damn it. Hello? It's too loud. No, it's still loud. We'll keep it for a few minutes. Give me a quiver. No, it's still there. It doesn't go bad. And skate ball. Back up top, back up top, drop targets, back up top. Upper targets. You've got to get the uppers. Do you need to get the uppers? You do. Multipliers. I thought it was just left bank and then hole a whole bunch. You can go for spinner too. Spinners will light and then you can go for spinner and get it back up top. Turbo Graphics says, hey, Zach. Zach says, hey, TurboGrafx. AFM is no Lord of the Rings. That's true. It's not quite as bad. 57. Deadpool. Knockout. Twilight Zone and Royal Flush Deluxe. Which Knockout? Find out in two seconds. Knockout is a Bally. 75 Bally. A single player. Terrible one. Oh, my God. That is a bad one. Wood Rail. Deadpool. Deadpool mode. When I play it, I start battles. We'll stack a mode of Little Deadpool and then just more battles. Yeah, exactly. Knockout. I was playing it right. Knockout. Don't play it. Walk away. Don't play it. And hope you go last because it's a single player. Yeah, exactly. So you know what you've got to go for. Twilight Zone. multiball. multiball. Powerball. Powerball. multiball. Roll. Flush Deluxe, which is the 83 version. You told me how to play this and I failed. And that's still... Yeah, that's... You still gotta get the drop targets. It's card tricks. Yeah. You still gotta get the drop targets. Drops are left orbit. Yeah. I think that's how it goes. Ugh. 58. Johnny Mnemonic. Slick Chick. Oh. Banzai Run. And Mata Hari. Why is Slick Chick still in here? That's... Slick Chick is the best. Is that the one with gobble holes? Yep. Oh, I think... They need more wood rails, too. I lost because I drained incorrectly. Yes. Yeah, that's a lot of games. That's actually all games, really. Slick Chick is goat for the targets. ASM is no Lord of the Rings. Thank you about your... Thank you, Flip N Out Pinball. Place looks great, yeah. Got the Sea Birds here. They're one of my regulars. They're in the background with Ron's dad. Okay, so... Johnny Mnemonic. Spinner, spinner, mode. If you can like the spinner. They're spinners nerfed, though. You go for ramps and go for Zuka right off the bat. Yeah, that can't hurt if you can come to the ramps. If you come to the ramps, you can go for your Zuka, and then you're a really happy camper. Or just go for a multiball. That's the unique thing about our, it's like, you can go over the rules, but we go over the actual popper rules. It's like, do you have a giant pneumonic spinner? No, it's nerfed. It's been nerfed for like 10 years. They have a rusty spinner from the flood that they put in there, and it doesn't spin at all. We'll just need to oil it up for them. Tech time. Slick chick. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There are targets diagonally, like halfway up the playfield you want to shoot them, or you want to go up top a lot? Banzai run, go up top a lot. Go up top. Go up top. It's the safest shot, it really is. Don't complete, don't actually complete the, uh, the color. Yeah. Like, actually you just want to keep going up top. Try to double it if you can, if you're like Bowen level, get the three targets to double it and get all the way up the field. Is up top always available from the lower playfield? It's lit, yeah. If it's lit. How do you light it? By getting it colored. Colored, yeah. To challenge... To challenge Redbeard! You have to complete a death bank and then go up top. And the skill shot. You do have the skill shot, that's it. What's the skill shot? It plunge and you have to hit it on the target. The skill shot is actually just getting it in the hole. In the saucer so the guy comes down and picks it up. Yeah. Unplunge. Just like plunge right on the mountain. Yeah. Interesting. Monohari. Go up top. Go up top. Go in the hole. Yeah, go in the big hole. Hopefully to hold it and go down straight. Ron's. Here comes Ron's. This is Ron. Dialed in. Woo! Dialed in. High hand. High hand. Cactus Jack. And El Dorado. I thought we already had high hand. They probably more than won. Well, this one's got to leave 1973. There's two. Yeah, there's two. So that's... Dialed in. Hope you're playing, Josh. Hit the phone. Charge the phone. Start a mode. No, don't hit the phone. Hit the guy. No, no. Hit the guy. Hit the QED guy. Then hit the phone. High hand. Drop targets again. Cactus Jacks. Go for the one ramp. Yeah, the one ramp. Go for the ramp. Hopefully fall in the right hole to get the multiball. Wow, that sounds skillful. It's very crappy. Eldorado, drop targets. Lit drop targets? Lit drop targets are more points, but drop targets. Well, this is Eldorado's Euro play. Oh, I don't know this one. Google. I don't know what that means, Euro play. Euro play. That's the same play. Same play field. Same play field. It's just... Yeah, it just doesn't... El Dorado. Oh, no. Why don't you come to your senses? I've been out playing graphic games so long now. Independence Day. Independence Day. Surf Champ. Taxi Again. And Sea Witch. Some good game. Independence Day. Two good games. Independence Day, go for the face. Get the multiball. Go for ramps. Go for the face? The thing that opens up. The lock. Yeah, the lock. It's a face. It's a face. In the face. Surf champ. Same as surfer. Same as surfer. Stay away from the side of death. Taxi is taxi. We talked about that before. Sea witch. Hit the lit drop target. Hit the lit drop target bank. There. That's it. Yeah, honestly. Hit the lit X. Yeah, tag partner. Chase the X. 61, Theater of Magic, Liberty Bell, Pinbot, Evil Knievel. I kind of like this one. No. Theater of Magic. Shoot the vampire once you light your locks. Yep, light your locks. Liberty Bell is just Freedom without... Yeah, so Spinners. It's not actually Freedom. It's more Grand Prix. It's more Grand Prix. It's like a mix. It's Grand Prix without in-lanes. Yeah, without in-lanes. And it sucks. Pinbot, we talked about before. and Evil Knievel. Up top, up top, up top. Spinner, spinner, spinner. Up top, up top, up top. Okay, this one's pretty good. This one might be good, too. Star Trek Pro for 62. Flicker. No. Diner. Eight Ball Champ. All right, three out of four. Yeah, I sort of remember this bank. Star Trek Pro. Start a mode. Player two, step off. Then go for your drop target during ball See if there's any And play your mode I'm not going to be Flicker Shoot the Orbit Yeah And try Diner Ramps No, shoot the right ramp until you spell Diner And don't shoot the right ramp until you shoot the lock Or shoot the left ramp And increase your bonus Safe shot It really is Is it like never stir the cup or something? Never stir the cup Never stir the cup And then the spinner starts your multiball once your ball is blocked. But, yeah, you can go left. Left ramp all day, I like. And sometimes the right hole will also start your multiball. Because it will increase your dine time also. Yeah, if you hit enough. If you can hit it, just keep hitting it. Yeah, of course. If you can hit the right ramp, don't keep hitting it. Yeah. Because it won't stir the cup. Yeah. Eight ball champ. Unless somebody else gets the, there's a little change there too. Unless somebody does stir the cup and goes up there and gets a good score, then you might have to follow that rule. because if they get ahead of you on points, it's not an easy game to catch up on. It's not. If I remember, that game had flippers of just made of mush completely, and you're not going to get a single thing, and you cannot dead bounce to save your life. Okay. And eight-ball champ, hit the targets and go top. Hit the left thingy. And hit the left thingy all day long. The left thingy? The left shot that goes up top. Yeah. The fathom shot, as they call it. 63. Pirates of the Caribbean Stern 2001 Party Zone Cyclopses Cyclops I don't mind that bank either Pirates Pirates start a mode Stop plunge Hit the mix master Oh sorry not mode I mean Mix master Mix master Left ramp And then shoot it more And then shoot it more Then go for the ship Or ship Or go for the Or go for the Prime the ship And then go for the chest Go for the chest Because then you want Chest multiball Yes The chest lights are jackpots Yes it does 2001 Don't die Drop targets Drop targets Bank off of them to go up top Yes Party zone Ramp, ramp, ramp, ramp But you can't miss one Or Party zone, right shot Why can't you do the ramp? I think there's a ball hop on it It's pretty bad On the ramp itself Yes Party zone, go for the right shot When it goes down it stops Take your multiball Probably off the I never could start it Right orbit but I'm not very accurate. It's lit by default, right? It is. Which one's? Cyclops is. Wait, I was still in party zone. What's lit by default? So your locks are lit by default, right? Yeah. If you shoot the right orbit, it goes around into the back of the robotic. Yeah, robotic. So you lock your three balls, multiball. multiball, if you shoot the ramp one, two, multiball, it doubles your play through the rest of the ball. Yeah. So it's really good. It's a really good time to shoot more of your favorite shot, the out-of-control loop on the right. Yes. The Supersonic Robotic Comet. Cyclopses. I have no idea. Yeah. Josh Sharpe will tell us how to play this. Josh Sharpe's mom was on there, and she's hot. Yes, it's a game that's all about ass. Yes. It's just like the game is literally ass. Okay, 64. This is Zach's favorite sturt of all time. Wheel of Fortune. Never played it. I thought you did in that one. Nope. Oh, I thought you did. I did play it. It looked interesting. Captain Fantastic Black Belt That one you cannot have strong enough flippers And Super Orbit Oh I did good on that one Black Belt Black Belt you want to Try to get the ramp and you can't You want to use the gentle touch Yeah You want to plunge as slow as possible But while still hitting the target at the end Then you want to go up top and fail to hit the upper ramps over and over and over It is bad If it safe to shoot the center hole that good to shoot It not bad actually The one I played just went through the middle but hopefully that hasn't this one. So, Super Orbit. Super Orbit, you want to go up top a lot, and shoot the very target if you're feeling lucky. Wheel of Fortune. Ramps, and go for that side shot to get it into, you can start doing clues and everything like that also. Hit the inline. Do some stuff. Read the rule card and hope you know what we do. Yeah, I have no idea about that. Okay, there's another Ron favorite. Mustang Pro. No. Magic City. Mustang. Gottlieb 1977. Well, it's even worse. That's what it says here. Oh my god. It says Mustang Pro here, which kind of... Let's see. Because I never heard of that. Oh, okay. Oh, I know. It's a two-player Bronco. It's Bronco. Are we sure? No, it's terrible. It's actually worse. They definitely have a Mustang Pro. They do. I'm just saying it says Mustang Pro on mine. I'm just going by what it says here. And they do have an Elevato City of Gold, not the one that you said. So I don't trust your links, Ron. Magic City? Magic City is... Up top, up top, because it's just like Astro. Try to light your pops off the skill set, I think, or the center target, and then go up top into Pops a whole bunch and create your life. Lethal Weapon 3. Pick the best music first. And ramp, ramp, ramp. Yeah. Ali. I would go for the spinner, actually. Yeah, I'd actually go for the spinner myself. Or the drops in front of the spinner are not bad either. The three back on the left. 66, Airborne, Spanish Eyes, Roadshow, and 8 Balls. Airborne, Ramp, Ramp, Ramp What Ramp? Because there's like five There's all of them, they don't hurt If you can make it, and I know on that game you can make them I've done it If it's working Spanish Eyes Spanish Eyes is this one, they've ruined it So just go up top and light your pops off the top and roll over Yeah, I think they screwed up some of these games This is Spanish Eyes, Segusa, 1973 I don't think so Yeah, no, it's a Williams Roadshow don't go with you want to start Miami first you want to start Miami if you can by hitting the stand up target to choose the color there might be another way to choose it I don't know other than that I don't even know Miami will probably win you the game if you can do it are you going to shoot the bulldozer though to let you lock it's not that bad if you get glances just like Iron Man when you're trying to do stuff too So look at it that way. You have to get them up, like you were saying. Iron Man's outlanes are smaller than their road shows are. True. And 8-Ball. Spinner, spinner, spinner. And shoot the 8-Ball target to lighten your spinner. Yes. Always plunge the 4-lane to hit the 8-Ball target to lighten your spinner. 67, 24, Hee Haw, Party Zone again, and Medusa. I know. 24. Suitcase multiball. Suitcase multiball. Ramp, ramp, ramp, ramp. Keep on going, man. Yeehaw. I couldn't even tell you. Yeehaw. Chicago coin. We don't know. Go up top. Go up top. Go up top. Party zone. We just talked about it. Medusa. Time your plunge. Keep it up top. Best skill shot ever. Hit drops, then hit the... And go for your side shots for your multipliers and for your points. And remember to time your shot. Light Gorgons. Then you can go for the center shot, because the spinner is worth a lot more. Wait until now. Big Buck Hunter. Hot Tip. Phantom of the Opera. And Attila the Hun. Wow. Wow, that's a bad bank within itself. Big Buck Hunter, shoot the left orbit to light your elk. Shoot the buck. Yep. Hot Tip. Shoot the left orbit. Yep, exactly. Allie passed over to shift left. Yep. Phantom of the Opera. Lock, lock, lock, if I remember correctly. Or ramp, ramp, ramp. Ramp, ramp, ramp, yeah. Attila the Hun. We played that at, what's his name's house? Theirs is set up horribly wrong. Wow. The flippers are not how they're supposed to be. Is that the one where they were way off? Yeah, the flippers are supposed to be flopped and they're flipped. Yeah, so you could trap them. You want to shoot the spinner and the captive bar, basically. But you won't be able to because the flippers are so off you can't hit any shots. They might have fixed them. No, they didn't. Okay. Indianapolis 500. VanWagon. What the fuck's VanWagon? Valley 1965. I couldn't fucking tell you what that is. Class of 1812. And Countdown. That's a good game. So one out of four. Even though I'm sure the center post will be removed. It doesn't help you anyway. Indianapolis 500. Hit the turbo, Lobby. Turbo. Turbo, turbo, turbo, turbo. Yeah, that's left orbit to light it and then side van. Or you can start a mode. It's like a side hole. You can start the mode, too. It's left or right. You know, go from there. Man, Baden Wagon is one of those valleys that, like, I have never heard of this before, ever. I don't remember it being there. It's probably new. It has a whole bunch of bunch room bumpers. It's one of those. Great. Okay, so. Class of 1812. Gottlieb. You're the new Gottlieb expert. I am not the new Gottlieb expert. Come on, you said you're the godly guy now. I've never played Class of 1812. Okay, so. Right. Countdown. Drop targets, drop targets, and more drop targets. What drop targets, though? You want to go first for green, because it's the 2x. Then yellow. You want to get the targets up top first. You really want to get the drop targets up top. I go for the side banks first and bank off of them into the other banks. Really? It depends on how the flippers are. I find that they're much safer. like the green at the time you're gonna you're gonna drain off of it but like if you complete either side bank they're worth 5,000 a target that adds up pretty quick if you want to blow it up you need to do green, yellow, red, blue but like if you just need some points just go for side targets okay uh next one Star Wars Pro Hotline Space Station and Meteor that's a good thing why is Hotline in there? I don't know three space themes and Hotline. Yeah, because you've got to go fishing after you're done with your space themes. I don't want to go fishing. You've got to go fishing. Star Wars Pro, we can be here for 27 hours and 57 minutes. Star Wars Pro, choose Han, shoot Hoth three times, play the Hoth thingy, play the Hoth thingy. I disagree. I go for Leia. I played in League. I did the Leia thing. I tried it. Yeah, and it works. I destroyed everyone in my group. Leia will get you about $300 million. It might get you $600 million, but don't forget, if you're going against noobs, it's a great thing. Han will get you about a billion. In my league? Depends on who you're playing. If you're having a bad day and you're in a low group, choose Leia. Yeah, choose Leia, because then you'll probably crush him. Unless you're playing us, then ignore what we're saying. If you're playing us, choose Luke. Yes. Luke? Luke? Fire your things. Hotline. Hotline you must play. Hotline sucks. Suck it, Doss. That's like there's a whole bunch of pops and nothing else to shoot whatsoever. Space Station, go for... The left orbit. for locks. There's a lead shot on the right to start multiple. Meteor, we talked about before. Drop targets, spinner, and drop targets. Two. 71, Medieval Madness, Space Race. Did we do Space Station? Yeah, we did. I just said it. Left orbit, left orbit, left orbit, left orbit. We did Meteor, because we did it before. Medieval Madness, Space Race, The Shadow, and Power Play. I like this bank. what is Space Race? Is that the is that the is that the one with C-3PO and the other one that's Roussel yes that's the Roussel it's all the same. It's the Renal no Rectal Roussel Roussel Rectal yes. It's the one with R2-D2 and C-3PO on it that are not supposed to be legally Oh oh really? That's the one I should have switched with Hotline but I'm glad they didn't. Medial Madness Castle Castle or Ramps yeah Shadow just locks go for locks or go for the ramps locks if you can do the side loop which I cannot do or the ramps ramps for vengeance if you can hit some but the less one's really dangerous modes if you can hit the shot complete your inlanes quickly to have con ready so you can fall into it space race don't know but I know it's go up top go up top Power play. Go up top. Go up top. Yep. Go up top. You can go up top via the orbits or a banking off the drops into up top. Yep. All you want is the hole, though. Yep. Hole is your friend. The hole is up top. Rolling stones. Pro again. Target pool. Fish tails. Pinball lizard. Target pool. Go up top. Yeah, go up top. Keep it alive. Target pool. You want to complete the upper three lanes to let your pop for a long time and hit the pop. Fish tails. Monster fish. Monster fish all day long. the rams to light your monster mission left orbit and then hit it quick. Yes. Or fast cast if you're magic. Yes. Maybe you're really going to do it. In ball lizard. There's the shot in the beginning that you have to hit when you plunge if I remember correctly, right? I don't think so. They had this on a recent Papa Live. Yeah. And it's like, there's a saucer that lights your spinner and advances your multiple multiplier, so that's good. It has the bazaar-like back glass lighting. What time are we at right now? We've got to be done in 15-20 minutes. There's a left shot That gives you 50k if you can hit it, but it's really hard. Other than that, it's better. 73, Iron Man. Scuba, Big Guns, and Embryon. We already did two of those. Scuba is probably got leave. It is got leave, so stay away from the right-hand side again. No, Scuba's not in it. Sorry, Scuba is not out. I think Scuba is you want to shoot the targets between the pops. Mm-hmm, yeah. Big Guns, we did before. Embryon, you want to hit the upper right and then just hit that bank over and over and over. The upper right hole lights your spin on the left. Yes. Hit the spin a whole bunch. Yes. Hit the bank a whole bunch. If you get on the left side, it's not a bad thing either. Because you get the bonus. You know, you get left and right lane. You get the middle lane. It's more worth more money. Go up top. Get up top. We got Monopoly, Bonanza, Lights, Camera, Action, and Galaxy. That's a great fucking bank. Not. No. Monopoly's fun, so is Lights, Camera, Action. Monopoly, you can go right for the Red Road multiball. Yeah, off the bat it's good because it gets hard after the other multiball. Shoot the center shot to get started mode. If you get the plunge off of it and get it into the ball hole, that's the mode start right then and there. Take your locks after you hit enough things. Yes. Get around the board as fast as you can. Go for those railroads. That will get you around the board. That's the easiest way for locks. If it's safe. If it's safe. Bonanza? Then it got leaped. 64. I don't know Bonanza. Now it leaped 64. I don't know. Lights, camera, action. and skill shot for where you're going to plunge. You want to get in the hole right off the bat for the skill shot. You're going to time your gun when you're doing your lights, camera, action. If you have a strong enough flipper, you can actually get the looping million shot on the cross the play field, but if not, go for the drop targets. Drop targets are your friend. Galaxy. And also, go for the spinner on the right hand side. That will give you a card. Galaxy, drop targets are your friend. Yeah, drop targets are your friend. Next. No fear. Casanova. Sorcerer. Stingray. Wall of crap. Wall of crap. No fear we talked about Casanova? No idea. Neither do I. I think it has a bagatelle. Yes. Which is derfed in Papa Fashion. Sorcerer. Ramp. The ramp. Ramp lock. Ramp lock. Unless they nerfed it somehow. It's still ramp lock. It's still ramp lock. That's the only way you're going to... Unless you go for the up top with the upper flipper and get the... If you can't hit the ramp, go up top. Yeah. Stingray. Stingray, you go up top. You go up top and go for the hole of luck. The hole of luck. It is. There's a lower luck hole and a higher luck hole. You can't go in the lower because the ball falls out, so go up top. Go up top. Next. Spider-Man, which I'm assuming is the newer one again. Aces and Kings. Atlantis. Atlantis and Andromeda. Which Atlantis this time? It is the... Valley 1989. Oh, 1989. Okay, so the crappiest one. Shoot the hole and shoot the buck and then get your locks. Yep. Oh, yeah. We just did. Oh, yeah. Shoot the hole. Andromeda. Shoot the... Spinner. Right. Left shot. There's like a lock and a spinner next to each other, right? And they're both good. Yep. Any left shot. What's the pinball finals that Colin MacAlpine won? And there you go. Aces and Kings. Never heard of it. Williams, 73. Single player. It's like a card game. We don't know. 77 Star Trek Pro Big Indian Motor Show and Pinball Champ Pinball Champ you gotta hit the spinner hit the shots and hit the spinner because that will collect your and go up top when you can by topping the upper play field what Big Indian go up top yes and away the inline Motor Show Motor Show it's that video mode and it's cry yeah it's a cry hope it breaks and Star Trek C.S.I. we talked about Argosy Banzai Run we talked about and Mystic Argosy go up top Argosy go up top drop targets you can go for drop targets though to get your you can they're draining I know but you can you can't hit the hole on purpose either no you can never hit the hole on purpose so I would just keep on going up top at least till you max your bonus true 79 Wheel of Fortune we talked about Knight Rider Whirlwind and Embryon so Knight Rider go up top or wind shoot the def targets to light your locks yep and get the or shats the right end lane to light your scoop yes and every time we already talked about Transformers Pro we talked about Hang Glider Valley that is another the double bonus shot where you randomly turns on and off and you just hope you get it Last Action Hero go for the modes or go for the outer loop to get the crane outer loop the left left orbit so you can get the there's no orbit on Last Action Hero Yeah, you left to go all the way and get up the crane to get to the... You mean the center shot? It's the center shot. It's not an orbit. No, to get the ball up to the top. I thought it's to the left of the scoop. Why would you want to go to the crane? It doesn't hurt. It never hurts you. But the scoop that you always want to hit is right next to it. I know that, but the problem is... The scoop ejects into the slingshot if it's like finals last year. Yes, that's the problem. But it's usually... It was catchable, though, after the slingshot, usually. Yeah. Then shoot the vamp to relay the scoop. Another game you own. Genie. Genie, you want to... Upper playfield. I'll get the upper. No. If you can get up there. If you can get up there. You want to shoot the yellow drops when they're lit and then go to the pops to relight them. This is the next one. World Poker Tour. We went through. Super straight. Hey, what are we doing super straight? Super straight. You are sad at the condition of the super straight. Yeah. And then you shoot up top a whole bunch. A whole bunch to get the... Or you hope to complete both jack targets to light the left scoop for repeatable bonus collect. Repeatable bonus collect. And you always shoot the spinner if it's lit. Escape from Lost World, Bally 88. I can't remember. Lots of plastic. Yeah, I don't remember. I feel like you probably want to go to the upper play field and shoot the thing. Yes. Algar, spinner, spinner, more spinner. Algar, go for the captive balls on the right and ignore the spinner completely. No. Yeah, I love it. Okay. Backman, Dark Knight, we were talking about. Dipsy Doodle. Dipsy Doodle is the same as Doodle Bug. Go for the targets. Heavy Metal Mountdown, hit the ramp. Then we're going to hit the ramp. You hit the ramp. Then you hit the ramp. Then you hit the ramp. Skill shot. Gorgar. Stars. Gorgar. You can do the shatses. You can do the drops. Lightning flippers. They have lightning flippers on theirs. You can still shatse it. I never could. I try. Lightning flippers have to do a bit. Go ahead. Let's do a challenge. I don't play Gorgar by shatseing anyway. I go for drops. There you go. And spin if it's lit and spins good. Yeah. 83. Batman 66. What is the next game? Gondolier. Gondolier Never heard of that one Laser War Meteor Batman we're not qualified To talk about Batman 66 Yeah We'll be here for three We'll take the whole podcast Gondolier What the fuck's Gondolier Gondolier 1958 It's probably a flip release For Christ's sake No that's 40s And Laser War Go for the drop target The targets Because they make the colors To get your locks lit Yes Meteor we talked about Is this Final Bank 84 No was Monsters Pro, Paradise, Demoman, and Freefall. Yeah, Freefall. Monsters. Cry. Paradise. Never heard of it. What is that? Godly 65. Demoman. You'd be happy you're playing Demolition Man. Demolition Man. With the claws disabled because they hate you. Go for ramps. You want, if possible, to start your first multi-fall without using the right ramp. Yeah, exactly. Of course. So use the computer hole to light the left ramp for a lock. Yeah. Free fall? It's a weaker Flight 2000. I know. Free fall, shoot the spinner. Yeah. 85. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. El Toro. Hook. Another one. And Catacomb. They have two... Why do they have one El Toro? Willy Wonka I don't know yeah I don't know either El Toro stop her multiple but we can't hurt that's all you know how to do El Toro we talked about before hook ramp ramp ramp even though it's going to go down in value it's still a safe shot if it works I think it was pretty good actually or just bank it into the upper left hole yeah the hole they move the clock catacomb learn the baguette so that no one else would know but you yes shoot the spinner a whole bunch and plunge the right lane up top to light the spinner. There you go. 86. Black Knight, Swords of Rage. Tropic Isle. Radical. And Electra. Black Knight. Play your modes. Play your modes. Take multiball a few times. Tropical Isle, which is... Another Gottlieb. Gottlieb 62. Couldn't tell you. Radical. Go for your ramps. Go for the drop targets. Spell Radical. Spell Radical. Watch the ceiling though, right? Yeah, lock stealing. There's always lock stealing in that one, yes. Lit inlanes give you medical letters, so shuffling is helpful. Electra, keep it up top, get your points. Electra, just build up your play field and bash stuff to get your points. So you can go down the bottom. Points to go on low play field and then shoot the loop over and over again. You got it. Pirates of the Caribbean. Caribbean, JJP. Pro football. High speed and the amazing Spider-Man. Oh, my God. Amazing Spider-Man, just shouts. Yeah, shouts. Pirates, find which of the five multiball shots you can hit a lot and then do it. Pro Football is the one that kicks out of the center. Go up top a lot. And go for the variable targets, too. It's so weak, you can not get up top on that one. It's so hard. And that's your Pinbird Banks, folks. We're going to talk about, real fast... Before we go, Jurassic Park. Yes. Like it. A lot. So we saw there was the stream where they played a premium, which I was surprised it wasn't a pro. And then they played the pro afterwards. They did? Yes. Oh. Wow, that must have been a long damn stream. It was. One hour each. Yeah. Oh, okay. I liked it. I liked it. The rules looked impressive and the layout looked good. I'm worried that's going to be too controllable, though. It seemed like very, like, lots of slow things, things just dropping and catching on the inline and stuff. Well, we'll all get to see it this weekend. Yeah, we will. Yeah, we will. and you're going to say stomp after we agreed that it would be September 28th. It cannot be because I have a party here. September 21st. That's September 21st. Stomp. At Ron's house. I have to put the thing in. Level zero. And Zach's tournament is on August 31st at his house starting at 12 noon. You coming up for that? I think you better. I think I better. Be better. Be better or else. Or else. Right. In that area of Zach collection. Since that is Labor Day weekend, right? Oh, yeah. Play the exclusive Zach collection. The Zach? The exclusive Zach collection. Things of legend. So before Bruce goes in, anyone have anything in chat now that we're actually looking at it? Death Ball. Yes, it's called Death Ball. 2019. 2019. It's the name of Zach's tournament. No one's going to die during it, though, hopefully. We'll see. Maybe from freezing. No, due to the just awesomeness of the games, they will be overwhelmed and just collapse. Ron's staying over at my house for the first time in a long time. Since last year. Yeah, since last year. Pinberg tradition. Pinberg tradition. This is a Pinberg tradition. Since 11 years now, we're one of the few people that have actually gone to all 11 Pinbergs. Has it been that many? I don't think it's been that many. It has not been that many. It's been a lot. It hasn't been 11. Ten and a half. This is the fifth one there. Yes. And there's five before. 2011 was the first one. When did you win? 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. This is the ninth. He's not good with numbers, folks. This is the ninth consecutive pinball we've been to. I won in 2011. I will remember very clearly the year I won. That's the only year. Mm-hmm. Yes, pinball princess, we are pinball veterans. We've got to get Zach out to more shows, though. He still keeps answering, I've never played that too many times. I mean, that's a little more interesting. Some of these games I've never played. You've never played either? Yeah, 1963, some weird, like. 1958, he's actually getting a hard-on over getting one to play it. I want to play that. Oh, my. He's going to bump the guy. You know what he's going to do? He's going to run from eight to nine. He's going to run for that 1958 and play it before it breaks, right? No, I'm probably going to be very specific with the games I choose to practice on. to get me into the mindset. He needs to play... Never play anything beforehand. He needs to find a balls-a-poppin'. Very important. That's a good game. Someone find me a balls-a-poppin'. Balls-a-poppin'. He wants two balls-a-poppin'. But I think we all agree, I think Jurassic Park is going to be a home run. Yeah. Probably. Yeah, yeah. What do you think of the voices? Do you think I kind of got a little... I can't remember the Jurassic Park movie at all, so they sounded fine to me. Well, no. The one main narrator guy sounded like the same guy that was in Iron Maiden. Yeah, I know. Just the slightly different voice. I bet it's just the same voiceover actor. I think that Tilt is one of the coolest I've ever seen. Just some old, like, 90s-looking program that just tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt, tilt on the screen. It was really weird how long the Tilt warning sound lasted. Oh, the... Like, it just kept going. Yeah, yeah, that goes too long. They're going to have to shorten that a bit. But it code seemed pretty done. It didn't look like it was not... There was some cool stuff going on there. I wonder what version it was. Did he ever say? I don't think he said. I don't catch anything. Okay. Well, luckily, we have the ears of the one once in a while, so we maybe talk to him about it. The ears of the one? Yep. I was messaging him the whole time, that whole day, congratulating him and saying he looks good, and he was nice enough to respond. Oh. Maybe I'll have to get him back on here again. We'll have to ask you this week, Keith. Well, yeah, but that means you'd have to actually, you know... Be on time? Be on time? Agree to something? Maybe. you know me, I'm just a slacker well, thank you everybody this has been episode 132 almost live 2, which will be up in podcast form in hopefully 10 minutes or so Zach's actually almost catching up to Timmy now he might be the most popular eventually the most popular? he's always the most popular it's just the most we get the most emails we get the most emails about him greater than zero is not very hard to accomplish Yeah. No. Yeah. Okay. Thanks, everyone. Bye. Say goodbye, Bruce. Goodbye, Zach Fry. Oh, my, my. Oh, my, my. Bye-bye, folks. Can you bug it? Can you slide?
