    really cool video, and my favorite pinball table by far. The one thing you skipped over was it was originally digitized by Farsight Studios as part of "Pinball hall of fame: The Williams collection" in 2008 released for ps3 and xbox 360 (the ps2, psp & wii verstions of this collection did not include it due to hardware limitations). Farsight then rereleased it in 2012 as part of The Pinball Arcade on pretty much every system and device of the time. In 2018 Scientific Games (the owners of the williams/bally license) ripped the rights away from Farsight with almost no prior warning, Farsight had planned to renew but were not able to. Farsight was working with another company at the time called Arcooda who had planned to release digital cabinets with the entire Pinball Arcade library of 100 tables. when the license was pulled without warning Arcooda were forced to release an unfinished buggy mess so they could sell something to recover some of the money they invested. I feel really bad for anyone who bought one of those. anywho that's the missing digital story :)

    I played this a lot at the local pizzeria; glad to know the women were performed by Tina Fey. Then when I was on vacation I found another pinball game I liked, Champion Pub, which has a boxing theme, but didn't go looking for it at home.

    Good documentary. I only wished you would have mentioned that the table layout and gameplay is very similar to Attack From Mars, Brian Eddy's earlier table. When you are familiar with one, you also quickly find your way around the other.

    What i like about your videos is the amount of detail, pictures and drawings I have never seen before. Even though I have been in the pinball community for 15+ years. The drawing showing the moving doors for bart on Cactus Canyon... never seen or heard about before your video. To do these so well and dig so deep takes time and effort. All appreciated by me. Thank you

    Great videos, you have been added to my subscribed. I have many machines in my collect. But the two I would like to see a video on as there would be alot of content for you. Williams indiana jones pinball adventure. This game has so many toys and mini field, would love to hear if there was any toys X because of cost. Why is there the missing plastic backfield art on so many games. Second, Williams bride of pinbot and the mod game kit bride of pinbot 2.0 from Dutch pinball. You do these two games and you will be the first I give money to on patron. Keep up the good work.

    Holy s***, thanks for this man. I grew up in the 90's and was surrounded by these tables as a teen when i used to go to the seafront. unfortunately i only ever played one table in my whole life as i never got pocket money. the next time i got to play any tables was on the playstation threes, Pinball Arcade which hadd near perfect replicas of a lot of the tables i saw as a kid. including this one. I'm 41 now and have yet to play a real table. but i love watcching this stuff. and you learn something new everyday. one of those things being that Dan was the *Toasty* guy from Mortal kombat that we all thought was saying *Whoopsie!* im hoping to get my 12 yr old niece into pinball at some point, and i think this is one of the tables shed enjoy.
