There a couple of things you missed in Pinball Quest. First, in the 50s Diner (yes, that is the theme) and the circus table, you can move the flippers up to the upper plane. Also, the Circus one has a slot machine, and if you get three plums, it opens a portal on the ramp and it has a bonus round. The RPG mode has upgrades and every bumper gets you money to buy the upgrades.
I actually Love the Black Box Pinball. It's basic, but fun. I think it helps to have someone to compete for high scores on the game. Occasionally me and the wife try to 1up each other on score.
Was Rollerball made by the Revenge of the Gator folk? Sound effects and some sprites are nigh identical. Also pretty sure 'raise the saver' is referring to protectors for either the middle drain and/or the side drains.
Just want to say, if it hasn’t been said already, is that the “bonus” level of High Speed that you thought was RC Pro Am was actually the “Sprint” series.
I'll admit, I was a bit spoiled by Steam's Pinball Arcade, but these are some great NES gems. Pinbot of course being an absolute treasure. Excellent video Greg!
The original NES pinball was the best. Still love it to this day. The simplicity was the best. The maker of the video didn't own it i guess and I know I'm biased. But still a great video👍.
A yo what's good, Hood!? (Greetings and salutations!) First and foremost, I would like to thank You for a great video upload that I enjoy viewing in regards to all of the Nintendo pinball machine themed video games that are to our avail. Your video is not only insightful, yet very enjoyable to watch, while I discovered some noteworthy titles that I have yet to play, keep in mind that I own ALL of the video games listed here thanks to a good friend of mine whom installed them onto an emulator a while back (Yes, I know, although I still much rather prefer the original cartridges, already owning NES, SNES, N64, etc.). Furthermore, my favorites that You mentioned are Pinball Quest and the one mentioned afterwards, with the Democratic and Republican donkey and elephant embedded in the graphics. I shall most definitely give those two games a try and look forward to that in due time... However, the game that I had recently played on the emulators that I own is not mentioned here, I am still searching because I did not memorize the title. You did mention some on the Atari 2600, and now I realize that may be where my search shall conclude, so I shall notify You once I rediscover that one in particular. All I remember is that this one video game actually isn't a pinball machine themed video game. In fact, this one is more Tetris styled, and also visualizes three slot machine spinners that rotate until they finally drop and land in the center of the game screen. The object of the game is to align the slot symbols in order to match and remove them from screen, accumulating points in the process. That is the video game that I am searching for once again. I literally have hundreds of video games on the emulators, therefore I am going to have to continue searching online in order to locate the title once again. Otherwise, I shall have to play each and every video game one by one (probably not)! So, if You recognize the one that I have mentioned, please reply with a suggestion here in the commentary. Thank You for your time, and have a blessed week, Adios for now!..
@@GregsGameRoom Understood, no worries. I shall rediscover the video game title myself once I back track through all of the classics that I have enjoyed throughout the past few seasons. I have resorted to listing any noteworthy titles that I have recently played: 3D World Runner 720 Degrees Action 52 Joust Laser Invasion HyperZone King's Quest V King Kong 2 (Japan) Lagoon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Tournament Fighters ... Just to name several, the list shall positively accumulate! If You have any other suggestions other than the ones presented in this video, then by all means, let Me know, so that I can discover some more fascinating video games, preferably Nintendo!..
Pin-Bot for President! PIN-BOT! PIN-BOT! I'm a fan of Pinball games but Pin-Bot is loaded with great music (for a short times its main tune was my smartphone's ringtone), good physics and nice atmosphere. I still play it today, one of my favorites among the genre. I don't know why, but High Speed was a serious slowdown compared to its predecessor: the graphics were 'weird' (even for 8-bit standards) and the physics were really fu*cked up! I mean....it seems like the ball weighs like an elephant and there's a constant centre of gravity at the center of the table itself. Nintendo Pinball is surelly simple but still enjoyable. The other ones are not very enjoyable today for me, especially Family Pinball: the game is loaded with really crappy physics and the AI really hurts your nerves! Cheers.
Need to check out Roller ball and rocknball, they look fun. I have Pinbot which is great. Highspeed I have, but probably need to revisit as I don't remember if I really liked that one much or was just a finicky cartridge to get working.
Pinbot? Hmmm. I think someone opened a sealed one of those ;) I enjoy BB Pinball for the clean layout and simplicity but it does get a little boring after awhile. Impressive for 1985 though. In fact, all of the NES pinball games have something unique about them but none of them are mind blowing IMO. Great if you've got 10-20 minutes to kill just like real pinball.
my dude, putting an RPG in a pinball game is an AWESOME idea and I wish more games would run with that idea. Personally speaking, of course.
Awesome topic! Thank you
I had Pinbot for my NES way back when. I played the hell out of it.
I haven't read the manual, but I'm pretty sure that annoying puff in High Speed is supposed to be a tumbleweed.

It’s ok, but the others were better
@@GregsGameRoom ya, Definitely nostalgia is why I like it so much.
I'm still trying to beat my friends score of 800k which he set 22 years ago. Still thoroughly enjoy that game.
Nie znałem większości z tych gier! Są świetne, dziękuję za ten materiał :) Pozdramiam kolegę retro manika z Polski :)
Nintendo Pinball(Black box game) has a special section that you can get to, but I'm not sure how… you play as Mario with Pauline… it's interesting
Was Rollerball made by the Revenge of the Gator folk? Sound effects and some sprites are nigh identical. Also pretty sure 'raise the saver' is referring to protectors for either the middle drain and/or the side drains.
I've heard only good things about the RPG mode in pinball quest other than having to start back quite far when you die.
Apparently dancing on a jukebox is seen as ultra American.
Great video. I liked and subscribed. I will definitely look for some of these games and add them to my collection.
Thanks mate! I loved high speed on nes when I was a child, so much good memories my best pinball ever.. I will give a try to the 1st one
Just want to say, if it hasn’t been said already, is that the “bonus” level of High Speed that you thought was RC Pro Am was actually the “Sprint” series.
Rankings are easier when instruction manuals are read (though...yeah...I guess a lot are lost to time sadly).
I'll admit, I was a bit spoiled by Steam's Pinball Arcade, but these are some great NES gems. Pinbot of course being an absolute treasure. Excellent video Greg!
It’s so good, I can’t believe it’s on NES!
Can you make a nother "cool Things for your Game room" Video plz thx
I’ll see what’s out there
Im have found the number 1 game pinboot and is inside of the abandoned nes in dump im lucky to have one free

I played a few pinball games on PC, and systems, just miss the feel of a real table. It's not the same.
Yeah, even the virtual pinball tables aren’t the same

When is your next Livestream 🤔
Hopefully Sunday evenings
@@GregsGameRoom OK thanks!
I actually love the music in Rollerball!! I suppose the nostalgia now tied to doesn't help either. My family and I spent hours playing that together.
The Atari 2600 versions of pinball WERE my childhood
I actually don't care for PinBot.
Rollerball is better in my opinion.
Pin-Bot for President!
PIN-BOT! PIN-BOT!

I bet High Speed is pricey

If I found a sealed one I wouldn’t open it!
NIce video Greg but I will stick with the classic pinball machines. lol
