A quick video review of the excellent Bally Pinball table NBA Fastbreak as found at the Replay Expo…
Interesting fact about the tables found at this expo is that they had managed to link two Fastbreak tables together for simultaneous multiplayer! A world first for the expo back in 2011, it it now a staple of Pinball Tournaments…
Here’s a video review of the Bally Pinball table “party Zone”, including stats on the build, table, play field, and game play including the Multi ball feature…
Originally shot at the 2011 replay retro gaming expo at the Norbreck Castle Hotel Blackpool – the expo is now known as the PLAY expo and is held in Manchester..
Pinball is a great love of mine… it combines Geekyness with skill in perfect harmony.
You have the tech in the electronics, the engineering in the table itself, the real sense of feedback when twonking a ball around with the flippers… it’s just perfect!
For me it HAS to be real tables. I like video game offerings (especially the recent “Pinball Arcade” on Android, iOS and Xbox/PS3 Arcade), but nothing beats the feeling of a real table…
Whilst visiting the PLAY expo (formally known as the Replay expo), I got to indulge myself in one of my all time great loves-one that unfortunately these days I do not get much of a chance to partake in after a vast decline in it’s popularity…
The expo and others like it always put several Pinball tables on show and depressingly it is hard enough to come across ONE pinball table these days… I live in a medium sized City and I can tell you that to my Knowledge there is only ONE Pinball table in the whole city and I know exactly where it is-such is my obsession (there used to be two-on opposite ends of the city, but I believe one broke down and was bought by a collector…).
With that in mind, here are a pair of videos giving a sweep of one section of the replay expo floor – these are some of the best tables ever made. The videos give an overview and a pan across each table. In the interests of shortness, I have included some very basic information about each table, as you can easily find out all the detailed information you need from the net (I would recommend http://www.ipdb.org).
The tables in the videos are:
Black rose
Roadshow
Party zone
Jungle lord
Gorgar
Terminator 2
Terminator 3
White water
Bram stokers Dracula
Back to the future
Family guy
Enjoy, and comment below on YOUR best Pinball memories!
