Any consideration for shorter people or kids with the back LCD? it looks like the goals are displayed at the bottom of the screen, which is hard or impossible to see if your head is at the same level as the wall in front of the screen.

Pinball is one of the most amazing applications of electronic and mechanical engineering. I'd love to see Adam do a whole documentary-style deep dive on its history.

This is exactly what Tested should be! Unapologetic deep-dives into obscure things such as building a Labyrinth Pinball Machine !

As a fan of Adam Savage, Tested, pinball, Barrels of Fun, and this machine specifically, I cannot stop smiling at this video!!! It is so cool to see what goes in to the creation of a pinball machine. There is heart, passion, art, and engineering all wrapped up into one machine.

@@ForumArcade It’s so funny, someone just mentioned that channel to me for the first time yesterday! I’ll definitely go check it out.

I have a DVD of the labyrinth, loaned it to a colleague for his 6 year old son. It was about 4 months later that I got it returned, my colleague said "I know every single song by heart", his son wanted to watch it every other day, so highly recommended!

I’m going to watch the labyrinth for the first time because of this video

Labyrinth pinball sounds too cool. My father would have loved this. He loved Jim Henson's work, Mythbusters, and pinball! Thank you for this.

As an ex pinball machine engineer I really like this. Love the use of the screen at the back of the playfield to add depth and animation. Nice to see that under the playfield is just as wonderfully hectic.

Got to play this machine at Expo and fell in live with it.. The team absolutely killed it and brought this world under glass to life.. cant wiat to play it again and cant wait to see what Barrells of Fun makes next!

The art on these playfields has to be appreciated close up, there's so much detail!

I am not in a position to have something like that but it makes me happy to know that this exists in the world.

Hearing about all the types and styles of artists coming together was fascinating I really like how he got into that detail.

That, right there that Adam has his lucky hands on, is my ultimate dream. pinball machines are nostalgic and so so iconic, just like the labyrinth and so to combine the two together is just insane levels of happiness

This is a great thing. I own a 1974 Gottlieb Sky Jump pinball machine (Electro-Mechanical) and the difference in the innards between that and this is like comparing a Ford Model T and a Tesla Model S. Sure, they both have many of the same features and concepts but how they get from A to B are worlds apart. Where my machine is stuffed nearly to capacity with wires, relays and motors this machine is comparably barren. The various changes to serviceability and ease of access to components was very interesting to see. You can tell that generations of design have gone into making everything easier and more accessible. The simple fact that the playfield not only lifts but slides forward as it does so and has handles on the inside to aid in the process seems like such a simple and obvious thing, but in my older machine lift the playfield is like lifting a 50lb car hood with virtually no where to hold on to other than the edges. Another great change is being able to open the front of the back glass rather than having to pull the machine away from the wall to remove the back side. The miniaturization was expected, these quality-of-life improvements were unexpected. Amazing how much difference nearly 50 years of design can make. But I guess we did go from first powered flight to breaking the sound barrier in less time than that.

there were several times i wanted to like this video more than once! love seeing content like this and listening to it's creators nerd out about their work!

🎶 Dance, magic dance 🎶

I would play this machine for hours while listening to Voltaire's newest album, The Black Labyrinth, which is also a massive tribute to Labyrinth. This machine is just so wonderfully crafted.

Both the world and New Zealand owe a lot to Peter Jackson for opening doors for kiwi creatives to be unleashed on the world stage, it is so awesome to hear that accent in these spaces...prior to LOTR, it was very rare thing indeed, thanks PJ!

Huge pinball fan since my not yet wife worked at a golf & stuff in the late 90s and had one of the hugest pinball table selections I’d seen up till that time all housed in a miniature castle. Ballys and Williams were well represented (maybe all available at the time). I still play though mainly digitally these days.

Great to see pinball video on Tested! Pinball is one of the last items made mostly by hand. The biggest manufacturer is still in Chicago and really only the PCBs and sculpted parts are made in China. The rest of the components, cabinets, solenoids, etc are made in the USA or Europe. There's so many disciplines in making a game, there's electronics, mechanical engineering, software engineering, art, game design and manufacturing knowledge. And it's HARD. Barrells of Fun came out of nowhere with a complete, commercial level game, which is crazy, since coin-op is mostly a dead format of gaming except for a few thousand hobbyists. There are been SO MANY pinball company failures in the last 20 years so to see someone quietly build a complete game around a great niche license is really cool.

This is jaw dropping. I love the screen at the back and the characters in motion - that adds so much. I long for the days of a great pinball machine in every family restaurant...

I’ve got a paint can full of quarters I’ve been WAITIN to spend on a worthy cause!! WHERE IS THIS PINBALL MACHINE?? 😀😀

Lifelong pinball fan, and this looks delightful! Love the deep dive into how it all came together!

As a life long Labyrinth wanderer and pinball lover… I’m so happy. Thank you for all your passion and hard work creating this. I hope i can play it one day but knowing it exists is enough. Sarah is my favorite character so it kinda kills me that you intentionally left her out but i understand why. haha

I was wondering that too. Then I figured it could only be one of two things. A licensing issue for Jennifer Connelly's likeness or they intentionally left her out so the player could play as her role.

What an amazing pinball machine! It has absoultly everything a pinball should have in it and more! simply wonderious.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful masterpiece of art, engineering and electronic wizardry! I love RPG's, pinball, Tested and the artwork is amazing! 😮😊❤

This is so sweet, I love how much love went into this.

I love pinball. But I've never before so seriously considered purchasing one for my home. I want one of these so badly. The love that went into designing and building it is so apparent. Gimme.

Simply incredible!

This is one of the many reasons why I love this channel. Great job.

Maybe the most beautiful pinball machine I ever saw. Now I want one! ;)

Another awesome video from this legend!

You guys all have the coolest jobs!!! I loved this so much. I'm a huge Labyrinth fan and we had a pinball machine in our basement when I was a kid, we played it all the time. Such a cool mash-up of my teen years.

WOW I am in total awe!! This is incredible.

I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen the movie in its entirety, but the level of excitement in this video makes me want to watch it now. And I only came for the buildery stuff, which is also pretty awesome. Well done. 👏

Absolutely amazing work all around!

Love pinball, love pinball design. Just wish I could afford it and at my age I don't think I ever will. Interesting video.

Thanks for this deep dive into the making of a beautiful pin!

Thats really neat. Thats one of my favorite movies of all time.

Does it get harder every time you say, "It's a piece of cake!"? This is so amazing. I've never been in to pinball, but when you lifted it upside down, I gasped. So much going on, amazing job.

An amazing game. To say you Adam were extactic, would be a total understatement. Love your channel.

Amazing work! Can't wait to play it!

Geez, that is so freaking cool! Thanks for sharing.

Yeap, there goes my annual bonus, I need this!! So amazing.

Thanks for the deep dive! The game looks so good! I played at expo and it was really fun!

I used to play pinball many years back. Loved it. I never see them in any pubs round my way. Not played this one but I saw Labrynth 3 times when it came out. Good film. Great art in the film and here on the pinball machine.

Amazing! Love to see this content. I wish there were more pinball tables for you to dive into!

Amazing machines

extremely exited for this pin

Great video! Cannot wait to receive my machine!

My mom loved that movie so much, remember her taking me to see this movie. Also one day I'll own an authentic pinball machine and to make one would be even better!

Oh. My. Lawd. I love it! It's perfect and I want one and I love it. I would sooo rather play a game of (Labrinth!!) pinball than any video game! AND I've never seen the inside workings of one either! I love it! Top of the bucket list and I know I can't have one! How soon til commercial production begins?? 🤩 Thank you Tested Team!

Is good to see some competition in the pinball industry. That's good for the consumers. Congrats!

3:30: It takes a humble professional to say those words. Mad respect for that guy!

I saw it in the original theatrical release and I learned to contact juggle because of it. One of my all time favorites.

This. Is. Gorgeous! This triggers some old deep urges LOL I want to play this so bad now! 18:07 The "non-trivial" side. Wow. Run by electrical mayhem! Oh man, I remember playing _so many_ film pinball machines! Creature from the Black Lagoon (great multiball!), Demolition Man, there was an Indiana Jones one, Top Gun, Terminator 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I spent three weeks playing the Back To The Future one in some canteen while on holiday in Spain, Jurassic Park, Star Trek: TNG, The X-Files.

Well beyond my means, but oh so lovely to see it, that is amazing work!

I am IN LOVE with this artistic piece of gaming machinery!! I wish I had an endless bank account to purchase this!! 😍♥️

that machine looks bad ass, I cant wait to knock it around. hope one makes its way to somewhere near me.

amazing!!! im a big fan of the movie and david bowie and also pinball. this has to be one of the coolest pinball machines ive ever seen.

Wow this is a beautiful table. So many newer tables don't look good.

Great watch. I Need this... lol

great video, thanks for posting

As a big Labyrinth fan, this is just incredible. The finished backglass is the only acceptable one, as there is no Labyrinth without Bowie. If I had the cash, I would own one of these no matter the cost.

Pinball! Hopefully we get a great VPX recreation of this some day!

This machine looks to be easily up there with The Addams Family Pinball as one of the all-time great licensed pinball machines!
