    Saw this game at Next Level Pinball and this was probably the most unique game/one that caught my eye the most out of all of them they had there. Sadly the novelty of it wears off extremely fast. Shame that it was produced in the '80s, could have made for an interesting play if it had more elements to it. The table was also not in super good condition.

  • @BallenvanStaal

    The music in the beginning and ending of the video was edited into the video in post production. The original Bally Cheap Squeek sound card is not able to produce that sound quality. You would have to add an after market sound board to pull that off.

    My game has stopped playing the music which is played at the start and the end of this video. The game still plays the sound effects, but no longer plays the music. I think that I might have accidentally changed a setting in the game when I pushed the test button. Do you know which setting I have to adjust or what I have to do to get the music to play again? It's the best part of the game.

    In the lower playing field… under the center graphic of the blackhole… is there a magnet on the underside? It seems that the pinballs get slightly distorted in their travel when crossing that area. Thanks for the gameplay! This was a favorite of mine. I played it in 1982 as an 8 year old.

    5:39 I LOVED the games that had the save-ball gate you could open! I always looked at like the game was playing more fair than most in that it not only took away your ball, but also gave you the goal to save it when other games would simply take it away. These simpler games are much more appealing to me. You can figure them out on the fly, rather than be confused by overly-complicated rules and games that have nothing but ramps everywhere, like most modern games. That's right, I'm old. 🙂

    How do you play Bad Girls? 1st you need to learn how to shoot ramps--no you can't. I would have been completely embarrassed if I shot ramps/targets this poorly. The 1st thing I would have done was to learn the timing of the ramps (without hitting the bumper posts over and over and over and over and over again). This was not good game play at all. I wish I would have seen this machine with a skilled player. Maybe then I would have got an idea if it was a good or bad pinger.

    Thanks for the compliment, much appreciated! The key to a quality slow motion video is to have a stellar lighting setup. You're dealing with very fast shutter speeds. If you don't have good lighting, you could contemplate dragging your pin outside on a sunny day for a nice result. I use a Sony A7s III camera for my videos, which is an amazing cam for 4k slomo, but a modern phone camera with a slomo setting can give nice results as well. Davinci Resolve software goes a long way for editing and color grading. Good luck! Please do send me an update once you've created your own video!

Deze kast heeft naar mijn mening de meest uitdagende gameplay in een thema die er gewoon heel goed bij past en zelfs de geluiden passen gewoon top bij het geheel. En de kleuren zijn ook niet zo schreeuwerig wat het geheel nog fijner maakt. Mooiste backglass van allemaal.. ik kan niet stoppen met het prijzen van deze kast. Bedankt voor het levend houden van deze kast. Het is een waar kunstwerk! ❤

    @BallenvanStaal Жыл бұрын

    Thank you so much Kyle! That mechanism (located in the cabinet) is an early adaptation of a score motor. Together with 5 relays, it controls the logic on the amount of points the player gets for scoring a flag rollover switch (0 / 1000 / 2000 / 3000 / 4000 / 5000). There's more info on the ipdb page of the machine.
