Left lane could be really effective if you manage to do a light shot from the right flipper, you may be able to pass on the rollover twice since the ball won't have enough strength to complete the lane. I used this technique quite a lot to collect extra balls and easy specials with this game.
Your shooting priorities can really depend on Special/Extra Ball settings. Since I'm no good at flipper transfers, or nudging, my primary targets are usually the balls from the left flipper and the left lane from the right (safe shot & working toward EB). Those multiplier shots can sometimes drain the ball to the middle and I usually only go for them to try to beat a replay score. DELUXE is the highest priority if completing the backglass means 3 replays and you need just 1 or 2 more letters. One of my all-time favorite games.
The bootup sequence is quite clever. You'll hear "3 ball" or "5 ball" after the game introduces itself depending on if it was set for 3 ball or 5 ball game.
First time I ever played this was at the Louisville Arcade Expo this year. Thing was tough as nails, but then again, I also had no clue what I was doing. Looking forward to challenging it again next year and seeing if I can do any better.
Without question, this is my favorite pinball machine of all time. When it came out I was in high school and had took to the game immediately and had excellent results on the five-ball games. This game doesn't work in a three-ball format, as it's an absolute crap shoot. As far as the nudging is concerned, you are so right. Putting an overly-sensitive tilt on EBD is like watching the US Open Golf major with nasty rough and fast greens. Thanks for your time, and once again - THANK YOU for posting this video.
This is also one of my all time favorites and I was very happy when the Pinball Arcade application offered this game, I have it on IPad and play it almost everyday. To the second idiot, old Gottleib games were classics, the newer ones not so much. Why do you hate on this game so much? Eight Ball Delixe is for good players, not dipshits who want multiballs every ball, a light show and a hand job.
@@leonandrews7180 I used to hold the old man score record at Silverball on Gottlieb's Royal Flush (five-ball) with 190,560. I also like the Joker Poker Gottlieb games, since I grew up on them.
An old favourite... this was always the hardest in our arcade; 3 balls and that's yer lot... it was a killer, but loved it all the same. Get the...Deluxe!
Anyone else use the back-flip from the LH flipper to advance the values of the lane twice per hit if it didn't make it through the gate? Extra Ball in 3 shots and money for jam scoring from either flipper after.
Oh do I remember this machine...my fav...in the early 80's...and Xenon..."get the eight ball corner pocket...nice shot.........." does anyone know the price on one of these fine machines today????
I'm going to assume shifting and hitting the machine doesn't risk damage? We have a huge pinball "museum" called Silverball in Asbury Park, and I just feel bad being forceful with the machines that to me are treasures .. whether they're from the 70s or 2000s. I don't want to cause harm to them with forceful nudging.
@@gynandroidhead It's my favorite place in the world that isn't a beach or some natural wonder lol .. even then it still may be my favorite. I wish we had other places within 2 hours of central Jersey with more than 5 machines to play. There's a handful of machines I really want to play that Silverball doesn't have. I was beyond thrilled when I walked in and saw they had Willy Wonka. Didn't take them long to get it. Hope they keep getting Jersey Jack machines. They're all awesome except maybe The Hobbit.. that did nothing for me.
@@mootsym they have most of my main machines I enjoy, and a few others that were absolute quarter suckers which I love playing because I am a masochist.
My favorite pin of all time. It's so good. Strategy, bumping the table, and its FAST. Love it

My favorite machine hands down....I like xeon also..

I got this for Pinball Arcade and I'm glad to see it's just as brutal in real life for a pro because this table kicks my ass constantly lol
Yeah, this is a tough table, but god damn is it fun.
ShelltoonTV1 sucks shit... hope the designer is piss poor and just miserable..
Wow dude, calm your palms

this machine sucks...only idiots play machines that have no specials...and gottlieb...machines even their worst is better then any bally

"One more game..." 13 games later. Yep, and there went my entire allowance.
My uncle had this!! 3 ball!! Memories

11:15 "Let's do some other stupid things like backhand every shot in the game"😁

1800 for a beater 2400 for a decent one 3000 plus for a minty one...
but there was a second run for eight ball deluxe, which also broke 8000. this was the bally/Midway release.
zaphod77 First run 1981. 2nd run (Limited Edition which is what he is playing) 1982. 3rd run -Bally/Midway - 1984.
Dont the targets ever drop?

Nope. Much more than a nudge will tilt the machine. You would have to be quite brutal to do any damage to these machines.
Isn't that place awesome? I spent a lot of time playing that particular game.

Bonus multiplier seems scary to me. Most times I've played this game it drains whenever I go for 3x.
Spielt man hier einen Flipper oder hält der eine predigt?
Bowen?
Great game. I used to play it at Pee Wee Golf
Souvenir d'afans merci 👍👍
are you allowed to push the machine like that in a tournament?
Yes you can. Nudging is a crucial skill!
If your nudge was not liked or allowed you will hear brŕŕrrrr sound 😅
Habe ich bald ein Ufo....
I don't told any one but I still doing
Ich bin mit mir Zufrieden.....
you talk too much
It’s a tutorial dipshit
Are you serious? Was he supposed to be quiet when explaining the tactics?
You talk too much
