ADG Episode 130 - Epic Pinball

Описание: Originally Released: February 8th, 2014

------------------------------------------

This video is directly responsible for my getting seriously involved with pinball. I joined our local pinball league a little over two months later and have been out to almost every league night since. :B

However, Epic Pinball doesn't feel anything like the real thing. In fact, most computerized pinball software doesn't, however as far as overall design is concerned, Epic Pinball is probably one of the best retro pinball programs out there... easily trumped by more modern programs such as Pinball Arcade and Pinball FX 2, but that's a topic for another video. ;)

------------------------------------------

Additional Information and Corrections:

This program's now available on GOG for $6! It comes with all three original table packs plus the bonus table I don't have myself and thus wasn't able to cover in the video: https://www.gog.com/game/epic_pinball...

Let me clarify the Excalibur table a little: The rollovers by the flippers light up the starburst lights which indicate which target you need to hit to light up more of the sword. The left rollover activates the left target and the right rollover activates the right target.

Here's a link to the F1 Grand Prix machine on The International Arcade Museum website. Since this episode went live I've found out more about the real machine... it actually plays much differently than the emulated conversion I'd played prior and as such, isn't quite as high on my list anymore of machines to look into collecting if I can ever afford to: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_det...

I'm aware that the actual song "Oh Yeah" sounds quite a bit different than what you hear in Cyborgirl, but there's definitely some blatant similarities.

There was actually a different pinball game I was originally going to cover first before this one, but playing through it again was incredibly frustrating due to the physics being really stupid so I wanted to cover a better pinball game first. :P
