AKM's Pinball Videos

AKM's Pinball Videos

Hey, my name's Austin and this channel focuses on pinball gameplay videos with and without commentary. If you have questions about any game covered here, feel free to ask in the video's comment section and I'll do my best to help.

I've been playing pinball since 2011 and the oldest videos on this channel date back to 2013 when I acquired my first machines and was still a newbie. As such this channel has become a bit of an archived history of my progression as a pinball player. I also used to do dedicated/edited videos, but these days I mostly focus on simple stream captures/recordings. Low effort content, but hopefully you find it useful regardless.

While this is my only pinball channel, you may also stumble on my presence elsewhere, where I have been a part of other pinball streams (Buffalo Pinball, 2017), assisted in running unique pinball events (Pinball Done Quick, 2015 - 2017), as well as managing my other non-pinball KZread channels (i.e., Gameplay and Talk).

    Wow, around 2 minutes in I can't believe how long you're able to keep the ball in that upper playfield... at first I had an even harder time with it as it it's not so glaringly obvious that the flippers are not aligned in a straight line with the cabinet edge. Thanks for the explanation and tips.

    People dog on this game a ton but I honestly really like it. Yes Mick is obnoxious and that makes things kinda frustrating but it’s great when you can rip a bunch of shots without him getting in the way. And he is a crucial part of the game despite him being annoying. Although I can’t stand when the ball is coming down behind him and he bats it into the outlanes, lol.

    Funny thing is, when they first brought it in, it did just that. Then one day it just started shooting down the middle. I'll see about asking the operators if they can adjust the coil strength settings. Not sure if Sterns of this era have power options for individual coils.

    I know I'm super late to the party but what version is your Breakshot running on? I have a completely different match animation and it's 1.0.0, which isn't on the IPDB so I'm thinking if it's unique I'll dump the ROM. Trying to learn the differences between ROM revisions.

    Good game. Most modes are fun, and score well... The problem with the scoring on No Fear is( most people time out half the modes to play the three wizard modes! I would love if no fear had an award for beating the modes ( like STTNG, and many other games do). Even the new Black Knight ( sword of rage has an award for playing through modes ( letters in the word knight)! I like the game, but I should love it!

    Did anyone notice the flipper angles? The left is adjusted way ahead of the ball rail, the right is probably normal....I guess it makes it easier to backhand the super charger ramp? Mine are at the playfield pin holes, Wonder if this is where they should be?

    There’s a setting in the game’s BIOS where you can turn the background sound on or off; it was probably off by default. You have to check the game’s manual for the setting; depending on what software revision Flash has, it will vary.

    It seems that the Super Bonus isn't awarded for some reason. After draining ball #2, you had 223220 points. The bonus multiplier wasn't increased from 1X and you had 9 balls spotted. Each ball spotted at the end of ball is worth 3000 points times the bonus multiplier, resulting in your bonus being 27000 points. At the start of ball #3, you had 250220 points. If the Super Bonus *was* properly awarded, you would end up with 274200 points at the start of ball #3.

    On my game I added the same two lights that you did, but I also found a small bulb holder to fit under the top target plastic. Now the lanes appear to be lit evenly. I also did not like the tinny sound that the machine makes because of the thin plywood bottom. I put a bat of fiberglass insulation under the playfield to deaden the sound of the solenoids. now it sounds more like the commercial game that I have.

    When you have one target left to light a lock and you have a ball trapped on the left, its much safer to go for the right up kicker since it spots a tomcat letter

  • @junior_pinball
    @junior_pinball Жыл бұрын

    Also when shooting for the up kicker its always a good idea to hold up your right flipper to make it an easier shot

  • @AKMPinballVideos
    @AKMPinballVideos11 ай бұрын

    It's 50/50 as to whether it's safer or not. I say most of the time it doesn't really matter, as the ball's going to fly back around those upper loops regardless (or sometimes it'll feed into the far right kicker, which completely throws the ball out of control).

  • @AKMPinballVideos
    @AKMPinballVideos11 ай бұрын

    @@junior_pinball Perhaps, depending on how the flippers are set. Mine are a bit on the higher end and so doing that raises the potential for me to clip the lower right flipper when going for the right loop. I generally don't have a problem with the shot when leaving the upper flipper down.
