## Transcript

Well, there's the tour of the collection. Hope you enjoyed. We're going to go play some games now. Try and knock off Benz's scores. Three, two. Ah, jokes's on you. I heard the [] video starting. Ah, they knew it. Uh, yeah. Here's here's the the root system that we're working with here. How many beers have you had, man? Like, jeez. [laughter] I'm Mike Dus, and [music] this is Pinball Shenanigans. All right, it is time to bring Nightmare on Elm Street to Benzy's place. I hired some muscle. The Grazley boys. I'm tired. Dutch just worked what, how many hours today? I only ate. Huh? You still got lots of work left in you. We just found this random jacket that uh came with the machine once as like packing material. I never actually looked at it before. It's a little big for you, but it's yours. That's your payment for today. All right. All loaded up and on our way to Benzy's. And uh the sun is crazily orange again because of the wildfires. See that? Fun fact, Greg Benz is an artist and we're literally How How do you Whoa, that was too many syllables. We are literally going to be driving by his gallery in like 10 seconds here. I'm going to show it to you. Let's see if I can get a good angle. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Look, look, look to the right. Ben's Gallery. All right, this is the path we have to take. Shiny boy showed up as well. I remember this path last time I was here. Me and Benzy moved his uh Ripley's Alien down this very same path. Oh, treachery roots. So glad I hired the boys. And uh you know, I'm just trying to take it easy on my back, but it also works as a very good excuse. But no, legit. All right. So, uh, this is the the Benzy backyard. All right. And this is Oh, ping pong. Might have to get into some of that tonight. That's it. Two spots. That's it. Where? Here. Yeah. And down at the end where Beetlejuice comes. Oh, Beetlejuice is coming. All right. Well, it's been a little bit since we've been here. Give you a quick little walk around here before we bring Freddy down. X Files Scared the the Alviv Collection. The other one actually is at his gallery. But as you can see, like Dracula, Alvivra, Scared Stiff, even XFiles, Stranger Things, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween. It's all very horror theme. And you said like Nightmare is one of your favorite movies, too. Yeah, we got a couple posters around. Let's see. Oh, yes, indeed. Harry Potter. That's a new one. That is the newest one in the lineup. Fun game. Anyway, we're going to grab a cart. Bring in the new toy. Three, two, jokes on you. I heard the [] video starting. Ah, they knew it. Already almost got killed by the first rut. I'll follow along and, you know, coach these guys. Make sure they don't kill themselves. Get rid of these flags. I wish all I got is a video of your butt right now. Okay, here we go. Yeah, yours. It's a nice view from back there, isn't it? I'm going to have to uh edit that butt out. It's horrible. What? It wasn't that bad. Okay, Mike, get on the [] side over here. I I can't help. I'm recording. Here we go. We got four people on the case here, especially We need one. We're going to need all four because I'm telling you, these things are ridiculously heavy. But this ground is uh Yeah. Here's here's the the root system that we're working with here. This is definitely going in the opening credits here. Oh, did you get stuck by the tree? Big ass sliver. Oh, man. From the game. I think it was metal, though. It was from the ground. Oh, I thought it was the tree attacking you. No, the ground strap gave me a deep sliver still in there. So far, Kevin smashed his head on the chair. Uh, stubbed his finger in the back of the car. What a nightmare. That is a nightmare. I like how my Nothing is covered. Well, that's my job. This is my job. This is why I get paid the big bucks. All right, here we go. We got a little hump. Hopefully, you don't ever have to go uh up the hill. And if you do have to go up the hill one day, I don't. I'm busy that day. I at least have somebody. That's actually a pretty good shot right there. I just took a photo of that. That was awesome. I brought you a Jersey Jack. What was it? Willy Wonka. Oh jeez. This is probably nothing compared to the Willy Wonka and the the Harry Potter. How'd you get Harry Potter down? Who helped you with that? Uh, many people. That would have been even heavier than this, I bet. Who Harry Potter? All my buddy John. Yeah. Well, and you guys live to tell the tale, surprisingly. All right, it's almost ready for Freddy. Ah, I teed you right up for that one. Okay, we just got to move it into place, turn it on, and uh let the nightmare begin. Go either way. Fourman operation here. It looks like the left has to come up. What do you think, Benzy? Your first look at it. Looks awesome. Okay, once Kevin crawls out from underneath. Benzy, fire this thing on and have our first look at it. I was just waiting for you to say, "D, get the [] under here." Ah, tilt switch closed. Oh, it's broken. We had the same thing happened when we moved it last time. Is there got stuck again? Tilt it out. All right. Here we go for real this time. Right. Sweet. I won't tell you how to do anything yet. Just uh What's it What's that sound? That is the boiler room just uh doing its thing. Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Oh, yeah. You got to time the plunge to uh get in the boiler and that'll start your first nightmare, which is a multi bowl. Oh, and if you hit this switch here, that'll add a ball. Okay, see your power meter at the top? All those red lights, it's full. So, that means you can defeat Freddy. But time ran out. I thought you said you weren't giving any tips. I know. I can't help myself, apparently. You can plunge right into the next nightmare. If you hit Okay, you got claw spelt now. So you uh when you're about to drain, use that third flipper button on your right there to save it in the middle. Yeah. Okay. There's a little meter in the back. See the green lights up there at the very back? Yeah. That's your awake asleep meter. You're awake right now. You can hit the copy targets and become more awake. But if you uh fall asleep, it will automatically start the next nightmare. Or you can go into the boiler room again. Oh, you just hit some coffee so you're a little more awake. You're playing with power. There's your Freddy uh Robert Englunds or whatever his name is. What's the actor's name? Robert Englunds. Not Freddy. That's who he played. [music] Claw save. Oh, it didn't need it. There we go. Nightmare 2. Oh, that was a quick nightmare. All right, might as well uh record the last ball be our first game here. Oh, you got to you can't plunge full or else or else it like rejects out of there. Oh, lucky ball save. Okay, this is uh multiball mode. Remember this target here should uh add balls. And don't forget about your claw save, too. Oh yeah, you got to hit the Freddy targets right now. to uh like reduce his power or build your power. I'm not really sure. One more shot. [screaming] Oh, you missed your claw save. So, you can also like I don't know what Krueger rans are. I haven't seen the movie in a million years. Do you know you got to sell them in a store or something? Yeah. Yeah, you can collect them and eventually you can sell them and trade them in for uh cool stuff. Is that a movie reference though? Yeah, like is that a movie in the movie? Krueger Rand. Okay, here's the claw. Get ready to use it. You got to time it just right. There you go. Glove flipper. There you go. First game in the books. Sweet. I think he likes it. That's awesome. The Dutch has gotten stiff. Check it out. How many times did it take you? This is the sixth time I've been here. All right. So, uh, what does it all mean? You beat the game. Yeah, this is the All right. He was determined. I figured he'd pull it off sooner or later. So, the ball save on this particular scare stick is like 2 seconds long on every on multiballs, on regular balls, and everything. And there's only one danger you were saying, too. Yes. I don't know why I set up so hard. Maybe Greg is just a better player than me. I don't know. That's why he's so good. That's why his name's on everything. But the goal is right now to try and take his name off. I know. I need 44. So, that's probably not going to happen right now. Oh, yeah. You need to double that. But at least you got there. High score number one, though. I did it. All right. Okay. Our goal today is to knock off as many of Benz's scores as we can. Yes, it is. Sean's already got one on your jaws. I still have mine on. Sean's still on white water. I'm the favorite stiff. Oh, favorite stiff. I'm the I didn't even know that was a thing. He said I'm the first scared stiff. You're one of my favorites. Oh, are you now? No GC. All right, there's another one of Ben's scores knocked down. Oh yeah. All right, we've been uh playing a few games here and there, checking out the collection. And uh now that we've got everything turned on, I'll go for a quick little tour of Ben's place here. This is the newest game in the lineup. This is your um arcade edition Harry Potter. Uh, I don't think I'm going to like go into too much detail on every machine cuz otherwise I could be here quite a while. So, I'll just kind of skim across everything here. So, yeah, like I said, newest game in the lineup. Well, actually, that's not true anymore. We got Shiny Boy trying to uh knock off another one of Benzy's score on his Ghostbusters Ellie. He's got the uh pin lights on this. It's nice and bright. And uh apparently a little more economical than pin stadiums. Then we've got uh Alien Ripley's edition. Last time I was here, I helped Benzy uh bring this into the basement, but we couldn't really play it cuz he wanted to put on a playfield protector first. And now it is on there. And now we're going to give it a play. Actually, I'm probably going to do a separate uh gameplay video on Alien shortly. Then we've got Stranger Things. That's a cool shooter custom shooter rod. Uh, we've got the Is this premium or Oh, this is LE Stranger Things with the uh projection effect, which is really cool, and the uh magnetic wall locking thing that never works. Uh, Jaws Premium here is undergoing a code update. I wonder if I should throw in a flash so we can actually see. This is a whole mod here. This whole orca thing with the little barrels. I like that he's got the like a eyeball captive ball in there as well, which I should probably add to my jaws as well. Benzy is also like a DJ. Pretty cool turntables. We're really stretching that. She's definitely got And like I said earlier, um it's very horror themed. So, oh, I see what's going on. That's cool. This section here, we've got Dracula. The longer you hold it, the harder it some Alvara stuff going on here. Yeah. So, that's good. Got Brand Stoker's Dracula. It looks like it's signed, too. Right there. It's a good spot to sign, I would say. Oh, and this one's also signed. So that's scared stiff. Dutch Dutch's score here. Let's see. Uh you can't Oh, there it is. Number one. That's Wait, hold on. Go back. I don't see any other stiffs on here. Oh, Benzy has You're the only one to have gotten scared stiff. I must be. Wow. Benzy uh he's got some uh work to do. Bust out some Viagra or something. Okay, to be fair, I only have half his score, though. This is true, actually. Okay, over here we've got uh Metallica. Looks like the pro pan over the playfield here. We got Art Blades. Oh, wait. [snorts] H Oh, it's got this cool like mod here. Look at them. The crosses up there. Oh, yeah. Those are some mods as well. Why is Sparky's head facing down? Sparky's like he's a little a little forward. He's a little sad. It's got a plastic um airball protector there as well. But yeah, this is a pro with Oh, these green things are Yep, that's right. They're from a higher edition or something. It looks pretty good. It's like a plastic accent kit. I think you can buy I think maybe the premiums came with that. I'm not sure. I'm kind of I don't think so, but they're nice either way. I I guess I'm now joining you for your tour. Yeah, good. I'm glad. Okay, so let's check out the X Files here. What do you notice for mods on this guy? Um, pop bumper LED rings. We got these guys. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. These these little models down here on the apron. Um, is that that's not supposed to be there, is it? You are correct. That is a mod. That's not supposed to be there. Also correct. That is supposed to be there. That is true. And the alien baby. I feel like that's I think the baby's a little different or the LED job in a little different. That's what it is. It's the LED job. This like a pop bumper ring underneath there that really illuminates it. Makes it look very cool. Like I think that's supposed to be there, but it doesn't look that good normally. Exactly. I should have did that to mine. Oh, stop looking at that. That pop bumper there. Uh yeah, the one purple pop bumper light is a little bit out. Oh, and this I believe Oh, it's a new cabinet. Brand new reproduction cabinet. And they were not cheap. That's a pretty nice looking cabinet compared to the original. I I'm assuming it's Yeah. Yeah, it does look nice. I remember when uh Benzy hosted League, he had this machine turned off. We could play everything but X Files because he didn't want his brand new cabinet getting destroyed, which uh can't blame him. Okay. And then we've got Baywatch. Let's just look at the cabinet. Forget the playfield. All right. Fine. We'll look at the playfield as well. Oh, we got a little What do you call that? Oh, like a little boop. So, you put this on your keys so they float in the water. Oh, there you go. That's what it's for. Oh, hey, look. This is very convenient. My beer beer break. I'll drink to that. We got some Benzy [snorts] custom apron cards. All right. Baywatch. This is one of Ben's first game, if not the first game that he's owned. Benzy, was this the first game you owned? Baywatch is the first one I bought. Yeah, I thought so. That's what started it all. Better than my first game. Oh, what was your first game again? Big Indian. I'm so glad that didn't turn you off of pinball for eternity. Oh my god, it was terrible. This game is really packed. Uh, wire forms all over the place. Oh, look at this giant squid. Octopus. Or octopus. Yeah, that's an octopus. Squids have like sharper, more arrow pointed heads. That's not factory, is it? [music] No. Okay. But this whole tower is Yes, that is factory. And it's got the large uh DMD. Also, the the shark fin flipper topper is factory as well. That is true. It's very adorable. I'm pretty sure the red bat's also factory if I'm not mistaken. I wonder is I don't think I've ever seen a red bat there. I'm pretty sure they're always red. I could be to I could be totally wrong, but I swear I've seen I swear I've seen other ones with a red people. I think people replace them with white ones, though. Quick trivia. What other Sega games had the large DMD? Why, that would be Maverick. Correct. Um, Batman Forever and one that I own personally, Mary Shel's Frankenstein. Oh, yes. And Baywatch. That's four. Is that it? Was there only four? Um, I think there was only four. Feel like four is Yeah, I feel like four. Okay. Four. I I four large DMDs. Four Lightning flippers. Oh, okay. Well, that lightning flippers. We got Doctor Who. Um, doc Doctor Who Popey, not Creature from the Black. I keep wanting to say I know it's just flipper guy. It sticks in my head that it has that. Uh, what else? What else? Hold on. I know this. Doctor Who Pop Eye. Oh, Dracula. Bam. Strokers and Fishtails. Fishtails. There we go. I know. I know we owned all of them, but one at some point cuz we never owned a Dracula. You haven't actually owned a Dracula yet. We've always had other people's. Oh, yeah. We've owned the other three, though. All right. We got Pat Lawler's dialed in a Jersey Jack game here. Dutch hates this game. I actually don't I haven't I played this game one time. Oh, okay. Well, hard to form an opinion. No, it's Kevin hates the theme. Other Grazley hates this game. Uh, what is the theme? Cell phones. Yeah, this is this guy here holding up the cell phone. It's It's essentially a cell phone game, but it's a little I guess it's like more like, you know, making sure the world has cell service or something. It's more like natural disaster theme like all of other Pat Lawler's other games. This is goddy. These drones here are goddy. Oh yeah. This looks like a like a like a billboard guy. He's supposed to be on a billboard. Zed the electrical guy. See on his helmet there? It's K. It's Zed. K. It looks like Ked, but maybe it is. Who knows? I don't know. Uh, what else did I just notice? Oh, this giant chick in the back here. Is this normal? Yeah, I guess it looks factory. Uh, what is she holding? Oh, a giant wrench there. Okay. I thought she was holding the diverter, but Oh, I think I bet you her arm goes down and it diverts the ball. I didn't even know that. That's actually kind of cool. Then we got the quantum reality theater. We're having some kind of hologram thing going on. Uh, no, not not right now. Oh yeah, sometimes it does. It's kind of like the Ghostbusters uh opto octo ecto ecto. Thank you goggles effect on the premiums and alleys. I think it's actually just the playfield right now, but I've seen some things in there before. Yeah. Okay. And then there's a spider there. Do you think Benzy added that? I think Benzy, it's probably I'd say he probably added that. That seems like it could be a Benzy thing. Why would that be on here, though? I know. Like there there's Why? Oh, wait. Hold on. Check it out. Oh, spider insert. Spider insert. Oh, maybe I'm wrong. All right, that's probably factory then. All right, never mind. I'm wrong. And it's got a camera here, so you got to uh you know, I I've seen all Hold on a second. I got to go see Ben's. Let's see Benz's face. And Oh, there it is. Yeah, there's Benzy. That there's Oh, that's some good photos right there. Oh, we got to knock his name off this game, man. He's got the whole scoreboard. Got to knock his name off. Yeah. All we got is those two. Did you knock anything off yet? Uh, no. Okay, get get back on it. I haven't completely knocked Look, Spy, there's Shiny Boy right there. I've got I've got two scores over there on Scared Stiff. And actually, yeah. Well, you're you're holding your part of the bargain. I have three cuz I have high score number one, high score number four, and uh favorite stiff. Oh, yeah. You're the favorite. All right, we got White Water. Classic game with a mod you might not know exists. Not only the rafts, but the skull man. Uh, yes, that's true. That lights up his eyes. His eyes light up. We need one of those. We don't have one on ours. They're so good. I've got one of those. And I had Well, when I had mine, I had these exact same rafts and the that same mod. That's like Judge Dread on uh eBay sells those. I I'd say we actually have better rafts than ours. Your rafts are are better. These are kind of You know what it was? It was a four set of raft keychains from a outdoor goods company. Oh, really? Oh, okay. You repurposed them. It came in a set of four. So, you cut the key rings off of all three of them, put them in the game, and then use the fourth one as a keychain. Oh, perfect. Yeah, I remember. They're more detailed and they're all plastic and stuff. They're really good. Benzy loves this game. I think I even sold this to him possibly. Or this might be my old game. I don't know. I sold a few white waters. One to like steep or ste one to actually I'd say this I'd say this was your white water cuz not only does it have this that would make sense. You had these rafts you had this mountain. You had the mantis protectors on these targets. And I remember they kept never working. Oh well that was on my last one which I sold to Adam Huer. Okay. So but I removed them because they weren't working. So this this could have been mine. So this could have been yours. This could have been. Yeah, I thought this was your last one. I don't remember your last one. All right. Uh, let's move on to Halloween here. Another spooky game. There's a lot of cool stuff going on here. Look at this. I don't have enough experience in this game. I like the knife handle. Knife handle. That feels good. It does. Actually, it doesn't feel good, but it's pretty cool. It actually feels like [laughter] it's not long enough. It's really not long. You have to grab it here. I I don't grab plungers like this. I grab it like this. This This feels weird. This is not all that ergonomic, but it's still cool. It's very visually nice though. Have a look at the playfield here. We've got uh let's see. We got a pumpkin dude. We got some hedges. These guys come out. Yeah, they swing out from the hedges which are kind of neat. Three playfields. Oh yeah, that's right. We got How many flippers on this game? We got these two. One, two, three, four. Four flipper game. And then we've got uh spinner way up here. Spinner over here. Drop target bridge over to this house. And then the ball falls down here. it looks like onto this very sparkly looking blue wire form. Uh, I've got some cool art blades. Oh, something cool you might not notice is that underneath these plastics, instead of having a kick out, the ball rises from underneath these plastics and just appears in the shooter lane. Very annoying for when you're not actually paying attention cuz it's silent. It's completely silent. inlane elevators and ball drains if you're not paying attention every goddamn time and it's it's completely silent. People don't love that. Uh but yeah, so you got a couple ramps here, an orbit shot, another shot under target in the middle. This looks fairly packed right there. Drop target. Oh, that's right. The uh translucent drop target bank as well. They uh light up RGB, different colors. Yes. And pretty neat speaker panel lighting as well. Clickers edition. Oh, 137 John Carpenters Halloween. Oh, and the topper with the knife that goes up and down. Probably shouldn't do it manually, but Oh, look at that. There you go. Cool. All right. I didn't expect that was going to happen. The game knew you were going to do that. Programmed in. Okay. And now we've got Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A significantly better game. This game is amazing. I love the powder coating on this. It is great. All the wire forms and ramps are powder coated as well. You got this meat grinder thingy. Got I think balls lock in there. Four different ramps all powder coated the same color. Oh, he's got the uh pin lights in this as well. Um, got like the meat free the meat locker in the back that holds all the balls in place. Like looks like spots for four balls there. This dude here spins around and I like the art blades. I think this game is so sick. I think it's like one of the best laid out playfields cuz like it's so cool the way it like if you hit this loop, it comes around and then shoots in the the gap there like in underneath that drop target and then it shoots out the back here through this loop. It does have some really neat shots. And if you hit this, it has the meat grinder that it kind of comes down and loops around. Yeah. like, oh, and like the the like captive balls that are basically vertical or there's like a shot under here by this flipper like [screaming] what did you do? That's the uh random screaming of Ghostbusters that most of us turn off, but Benzy apparently did not. The first time that happened on mine, Jamie thought there was an accident outside and it was like tires scre like screeching. But no, it was uh Ghostbusters. What the Have you heard that before? Oh, yeah. Well, I I don't like Ghostbusters enough. I haven't played it. I haven't played it long enough to actually get there. Uh okay, I turned that [] off after ball one. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we got the cool topper again. Uh I don't know if there's any moving parts. Maybe that it looks solid. It's like a four like 5D plastic or something. Yeah. Like you got like one one two three four five six layers of plastic. Maybe the like spinny wheel spins up there. Um I don't think so. Wind uh whatchamacallit. Windmill. That's what it's called. Thank you. Anyway, that's uh I'm going to ask Ben to turn that off. Oh, the attract mode. No, the screaming. Oh, the screaming. Yeah, we don't need to hear that again. Why is this so loud? All right. And then the pinnacle of the collection here, the newest game in the lineup, Freddy Krueger, a Nightmare on Elm Street. You've seen this game already. It is [music] packed full of goodness. We've got goodness with an apostrophe. Glove flippers. I mean, we've got claw saves. Three flippers. We got Freddy who belches balls out of his mouth. We got a boiler room. This is a really cool game actually. Ben is happy to have it. Check out the art and check out the collection in general. [music] I don't know where the boys went. I think it's a me game. Yeah, it's not bad. I think Benie will have fun with it. Oh yeah. Uh should we have have one more like a closer look at Harry Potter cuz I briefed over it so quickly. Oh, this is pretty cool. You can know you like will know the references cuz I've seen nothing. What is this? Golden Finch, right? Golden Finch. He's I knew I knew he knew. I'm not the Harry Potter grazy. Oh, okay. The other Grazy loves Harry Potter. I'm sort of so so on it. He was talking about like these dudes. He had knew the names of these flying whatever they are. The death eaters. No, that's not right. And there's a special name for the hat. Sorting hat. It's the hat that sorts you into your house. Sure. And then this is a pot. Yes. Aka cauldron. See, I know that these are drumsticks, right? Yeah. And then we got the spinning house. Yeah. If you want to play uh Quidditch, fly around on brooms and stuff, you go back there, right? Uh-huh. What's this? What's this a reference to? Right here. The house. The tree. The car. The tree that eats the car. It's the car eater. What movie is that from? Uh Stranger Things. Yes. Thank you. How many Harry Potter movies are there? There's like seven, right? There's eight movies, but there's seven books cuz they took the last book and made it two movies. Okay, there's the Death Eater right there. See, I know that much. He's got a one. But this thing is really, really packed. Look, we got a ramp here. There's so many shots. I've never seen a game with so many shots on it. And so many diverters, too. Like the ball goes one way and ends up some other way. For the record, I think this spins around is a reference to the fact that the hallways are accidentally just pressed pause there. Okay. How much did you miss? Only like 2 seconds. Okay. This reference here, this thing moves because uh the hallways are like never the same in Hogwarts or something. Okay. You should really come back to this when Kevin's here cuz he knows everything about Harry Potter. When we were playing it earlier, he was knew everything. Yep. Yeah. Uh, how many spinners? We got a spinner here, spinner here. At least two. Oh, don't forget three up there. Upper flipper as well. I forgot to point that out. Upper flipper here, too. Oh, yeah. That's It's crazy how many shots there are for a four flipper game. There's so many shots. Thing is packed. And this is a narrow cab. Wasn't the collector That's true, actually. Wasn't the collectors a widebody? Uh, no. But most Jersey Jacks games are were wide body. But uh yeah, this is actually standard body. I remember the one at Pinfest being a wide body, but I could be wrong. Yeah, they don't typically do that. Change uh body styles between um I know versions, but I just I don't remember being an arrow. Well, there's the tour of the collection. Hope you enjoyed. We're going to go play some games now. Try and knock off Ben's scores off a few more machines. Let's done that. Well, I'm failing. I'm the only one who hasn't yet, actually. How many beers have you had, man? Like, jeez. I've only had Man down. Too many. Yeah, that's pretty much empty. I did get on the board after all. Yes. Look at that lovely picture. Yeah, that's amazing. Biggest tilt champ. I tilted off 2.5 million. Put your name in. All right. How do I spell my name? I you can put a whole ass name and H I J K A. There we go. Boom. I am the true winner of the evening, I suppose. Thank you. Thank you very much. Oh, look. Half blood prince champ. Oh [] Get your name in there. Nice. Not bad with the new shades. I knew not shades but Kevin in there's there's 10 digits or something. Nah, that's too many digits. There's 11 digits. But now go back and anything else. Anything else? Oh, there's the little video. Top of your year at Hogwarts. Benzy didn't even get on the board and he won. Nothing. Nada. I can't. Oh, you didn't rescue. Oh. Wa. What's happening there? Shark got you. I couldn't hit the yellow targets. Uh, and I didn't even catch the freaking For the first time in people, the 8bit people. For the first time in pinball history, the shots are easier to hit than the targets in between them. You failed so hard that you were good.
