Pulp Fiction was always intended to be a throwback (circa 1979) game from the start. I own a Firepower, and I love Dolly Parton (the game). The game hits me in all the right places as I came of pinball age in the late 1970's at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. I truy enjoy playng it every time at the Enterrium and Logan Arcade in Chicagoland. Gonzo--anyone who loves pinball is NOT a bad pinball player.
Thanks for the post John.
Hell yeah, Logan Arcade is my favorite place to play pinball.
You nailed it! This machine is a great choice for people who already own 1 or 2 "modern" games and are looking for a more "classic" experience. I really want one myself.
I've played and enjoyed the game at three shows and one barcade. Our friend Todd collected my LE deposit almost a year ago already.
I totally understand the theme and gameplay. In my lineup, it will be with my retro machines. Six Million Dollar Man and James Bond 60th.
The modern machines have their own row and will enjoy their LCDs and modern touches.
Hey Scott . . . I think that everyone like yourself who understands the gameplay will love the game.
Love the commentary. Funny you mention Godzilla paired with PF would be a good companion game. Godzilla is my only other game. That'll be it for me for a little while. But in the future, I hope to add one more game to complete my collection. That will be a kid friendly game. Looney Tunes or Scooby something like that. But that's a few years off.
I feel like a dummy mentioning this because I feel everyone should know to do this, but I'll mention it anyways. One thing I do if there is a shot I just can't hit, like that scoop shot on Godzilla, is to practice that shot. Take the glass off, put a clean rag or sock into the drain, then pick up the ball, place it on the flipper and go for the shot. Hit or miss, keep picking up the ball to do it again. Keep doing that for like 10 minutes and you'll get it. Do this as a warmup each day before you start playing and you'll lock that shot in. Works for me (sort of LOL).
I also think rewatching the movie should be a requirement for playing this game. Especially if you haven't seen it in a while. It'll allow you to really place all the call outs. I just did that the other day and it really sinks in now when I hear them during game play. Just brings a smile to my face. Cheers!
I think that's a great tip actually, thank you.
I want one of these soo bad. And I love that you have an EBD glass on the floor as that is my number one favorite pin of all time. PF is as close to that as I've seen in a long time and despite the cost, more likely to be actually available since 8BDs are practically unobtainium these days.
I love when there is a small portion of a game I can get hyper-focused on like the van upgrades in Foo Fighters or the mission multiball in Bond 60th
Thanks for the gameplay and review! Funny, I had a motor problem with my NIB Cactus Canyon. As far as I can tell, it's the motor's gear train getting out of alignment (or stuck, or something.) Makes the game try to feed it too much current, which the game doesn't like and cuts power to the motor altogether. To fix it (with the game powered off), I give it a little shot directly with a 20v power supply - just like Vincent giving Mia Wallace the adrenaline shot to the heart - which immediately gets the motor moving. Then it'll run fine for about a month or so, before I have to do it again. Gotta love pinball machines!
Thanks Marco . . . I'll get the adrenaline shot ready.
Just FYI…myself and several others I’m aware of received CCr with a faulty train motor behaving similar as you described. Contacted CGC and they supplied new motor under warranty. Indicated they had a “batch” of bad motors
Its visually so cool. Definitely going to try to find one to play.
Terrific video. Can't wait to get our Pulp Fiction, should look nice next to Flash Gordon.
Thanks mate, I think that will be perfect alongside FG
In 2024, I can tell ya this much w confidence: If this _exact_ machine had a different theme, there may not’ve been enough preorders to get this one off the ground.
I get where SJohn’s comin from, but in today’s market, a two-bat table with a spinner & some targets just wouldn’t get most to reach that deep into their bankrolls for that today.
QT wanted it this way, but I think only those w deeeep nostalgia for tables like Dolly & hardcore Pulp fans are gonna buy this at these prices.
I really hope you enjoy yours-at least it’ll never lose its value. ✌️
Thanks mate, and I think you're absolutely right in everything you say.
Brilliant game. Can't wait to get my LE. You had a very good game on your last game.
Thank you Jordy . . . I'm sure you'll love yours
That song is perfect for Pinball.
There’s nothing wrong with having a brutal game in a lineup but like you say as a sole pin this may get frustrating. Still cant wait to flip this and it will be in my lineup at some point. Great unbiased review thanks Kris
Cheers Col mate ❤️
A couple of notes from Karl's stream. He had the outlanes wide open and all ball savers, including magnet shots turned off. The same settings that Josh Sharpe (rules) achieved the wizard mode twice in 3 years. But yeah, I definitely wouldn't say shallow. I always kinda smirk when i hear someone say they almost beat it at a show cuz that lets me know they don't completely understand the rules.
Thanks for explaining about the stream Josh
Def the best theme of this past couple of years. I mean Christ.....Elton John pinball?....Foo Foo fighters pinball?.....I could shit.
Great commentary on PF. Do you think it’s similar in its throwback nature the way Bond 60th is? I feel like people are quick to criticize non-stern titles and will give Elwin’s Bond throwback a pass and only go after its price, not its difficulty or simpler code set.
I honestly couldn't say Raf. I haven't seen a 60th Bond in person but I know it was a single level game albeit with a screen.
Not everyone will love this game, but those who accept it for what it is will enjoy it I'm sure. I'll definitely be getting one.
Love the movie, love the concept of the pin, but the one thing that really bugs me is the idea of Jimmie being a top 5 character.
You're absolutely right, I hadn't thought of that.
You mean the writer/director requesting his character be a top 5 on the playfield for his personally commissioned and now commercially sold machine?
@@RafConUSMC "Personally commissioned?" Come on, this isn't the Aaron Spelling table.
@@johndoe-yw7ebyou obviously haven’t done any research or heard them tell the story before. This machine was designed with and for Tarantino himself. Go look it up and then come back and comment.
@@RafConUSMC What I meant was, this is a COMMERCIAL PRODUCT, not a vanity project one-off, and as a commercial product, it’s past the point where it should be pandering to an audience of one. OBVIOUSLY, the character roster was a result of Tarantino’s involvement in the project, not a psychotic misinterpretation of the movie by CGC, but sure, congratulations on revealing a Great Truth by pointing this out 🙄
One person's favorite game, is another person's most hated game. Enjoyed the review. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure, thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment.
Variety in modern pinball? Absolutely welcome. You have to appreciate the classics to get the game. It’s about hitting the shots after many times of trying, it’s about getting that lucky bounce to save to ball, it’s about getting that unfair rebound off a target. That’s the fun of the game. Having foo and Godzilla, I don’t want another flow game for now. I want variety.
Yes i love throwback games like that one but i think it only makes sense when it's mixed within a collection. If it's your only pin, then i have to admit there are chances that it would get old quite quickly and the fact there are only 5 licensed musics in the game repeated over and over is a bit of a letdown 😏. But this might well change with future code updates...who knows ? 😉
@@thierrydelage1681
There are more tunes in the game, just not licensed.
How did you get yours? My deposit is over a year old I havent gotten word on mine at all...
Your sound is very low. I went from a SDTM pinball video to yours and I can barely hear you. Great content.
Gonzo are you still happy that you are getting your own? Or has it
Lost some of its luster after having awhile? I let my AFM go for the PF LE, I hope I did not make a mistake?
I have let AFM go twice and regretted it both times, but . . .
I'm very happy to have purchased Pulp Fiction. It is incredibly addictive and I just want to keep playing it. You've bought a really good game.
@@GonzosPinballFlipperama oh good whew! I was worried there for a second…. Thank you for that G
Fishtales is brutal
Yes indeed it is mate
If money is no object, which machine would you buy between an Elton John and a Pulp Fiction? Thanks.
Probably Pulp Fiction because the theme just edges it.
Elton John is a waaaay better table@@GonzosPinballFlipperama
Are you talking about Karl deangelo?
Quite possibly, the stream was two or three days ago but I haven't seen it I'm afraid.
I watched a good one from IE pinball. Looked tough but fun. But your stream really helped explain more of the code.
@@GonzosPinballFlipperama yeah. That was Karl with IE pinball
Godzilla scoop on the right, don’t shoot it, ball will naturally fall in it
Too late I'm afraid . . . the game has been sold but I did thoroughly enjoy it first.
'promo sm'
Do you still rank Pulp Fiction one step above Elton John? Now that you have had them both in the studio…
Hi mate, good question. I think I'd still take Pulp but it is very close.
I just think I'd play it more.
@@GonzosPinballFlipperama sounds like they are pretty equal in their own genre of pinball era lol… I want an Elton john as well…. I appreciate your honesty my brother. 💙
Love the theme, but this game is a bit of a stinker for me.
Maybe if it was priced at $3,999 it would make sense.
Throwback game at 2024 prices. What a scam. Just ordered Jaws premium. Screw PF...
