There are many ways that you can upgrade your pinball, the easiest and often most low-cost of which is upgrading to pinball LED bulbs.
#NEW ERA TABLETOP PINBALL MACHINE YOUTUBE MODS#
The cheaper, electronic machines with mechanical flippers don't tend to break down as easily, but they do still get faulty so it will be handy if you can solder and operate a screwdriver.Pinball mods and upgrades are great if you want to enhance the look, improve the functionality, and increase the value of your machine.
I have read that they can all be a bit faulty over time, and require maintenance just like real pinball machines, so that might be something to prepare for. I wish I had one of these machines! Any of them, the Zizzles or the Star Galaxy, although if I had a choice I'd get the Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End machine, it's the most beautiful home pinball machine ever made in my opinion. Some design improvements and additions have been made but the machine doesn't contain the Zizzle's computer, so all the targets just add to the score and there aren't any special modes, just like a regular, budget model.Īnd the unreleased prototype of the most awesome and appropriate one of all, Atari Arcade Classics pinball Years later the "Star Galaxy" appeared, which looked like a hybrid of a Zizzle machine and a regular, budget pinball machine. There was a fifth model in the works but Zizzle went bust before it could be produced. The second generation were improved and much more preferable to the original ones, and I think look better too, especially with the new lighting. There were four models released, two Marvel Super Heroes machines and two Pirates of the Caribbean machines. They unfortunately only have a backlit LCD score display so it looks a little harder to read than the generic LED ones. The most advanced home pinball games in terms of game modes and accurately recreated parts are the Zizzle machines, which use solenoid-powered bumpers and flippers, have special modes and games with specific targets and timing just like real arcade pinball machines. I'll get around to the reviews eventually, but until then here are some hints and pics. I've been wanting to start a blog site to review the different ones that are available so I've been doing research for years. I soon moved onto free-standing pinball machines which are my current obsession. I still fell in love with it, and soon found some other, generic versions of the same machine with space and racing car themes. It's about the size of the smaller Tomy machines, but nowhere near as complex, there are no intricate mechanics inside, just some flashing lights, sounds and the score dial. My hobby started when I was given a little tabletop Star Wars pinball machine.
I wish I lived in America where there were a lot more machines available, but I think I've done alright living in Australia and keeping my eye out for bargains. Toy pinball is one of my favourite hobbies. Something with multi-ball, bonus games, local tournament mode, timed score attack, codes for sharing your score online, etc. In an era where complex processors and color screens are being inserted into magazine ads, it's amazing that we don't have a machines this size that are much more advanced. Ramps are cheap-why don't more of these little tables have them? I've also been looking at homemade lego pinball tables-building one of those is tempting since I have most of the parts for it (minus the electronics) but I'd probably wind up with something that weighs 50 lbs and isn't half as good as Astro Shooter. That's a lot of quarters-2000-6000 games worth. She actually likes pinball too, but I don't think either of us like it $1000-3000 worth. Space is the kicker with a 1700sq ft condo with an MVS and two pachinko machines already-the wife would probably start slowly poisoning me. Astro shooter/american pinball is the best out there that I've seen/played (at least there are a few shots that are tricky and provide big score) but if you have the space I'd recommend skipping buying one of these and save up for a proper machine if you want pinball. I have an 'Astro Shooter' and its little brother the 'Atomic Arcade Pinball'.
