  • This is my gameplay and first impression video of the latest Pinball Game coming from American Pinball, Barry O's Barbecue Challenge! Hot Sauce and Hot Rods but is it going to be a Hot Pinball Machine! While attending the ZapCon 2024 Event in Mesa, AZ today I got to play the game a few times and wanted to show this machine off and give you my first impressions of it. Although not a full review hopefully this video will help you to know what to expect from this Pinball Machine and I hope you check it out at your nearest Arcade or Convention soon!

    As an operator, and showroom/arcade owner I can really appreciate that this company does not cut corners in regards to build quality . Sadly other manufacturers are doing so, and you can easily see it by taking a look at how much the machines weight. If it is less than 200lbs. try it before you buy it. Some of these new machines feel like toys compared to old school pinball machines; some do not. Try playing a machine made by a different manufacturer right before playing one from one of the biggest manufacturers and you will know exactly what I am talking about.. quality matters, and I hope the biggest manufacturers stop playing games with quality. Prices have dramatically increased across the board regarding the cost of new pinball machines, and I see lighter wood and cheaper materials, as well as less features such as powder coated armor, shaker motors, etc; this is not the case with American Pinball however... Nice job.

    You keep saying EM, but this is a tribute to the system 11 and DMD era of Williams. Barry Oursler made some of the greatest solid state games of all time. Funny enough this layout looks shockingly close to Hot Wheels from American Pinball also. This game appears to be very operator friendly. No major mechs to break. I love the spinners on the ramps and the ball lock mechs looks unique, they don’t look like your typical saucer and from what I understand the locked balls become a bash target when they’re in there.

    • @PDubsArcadeLoft

      Thank you, yes I said EM twice but corrected it to solid state at the end, and yes the locked balls become bash targets which is pretty cool, thanks for the feedback and checking it out

      I am not a fan of this game. I think it's forgettable in today's world. I think this should have been shelved as compared to looney tunes, labyrinth and Elton it's just kinda not wow exciting. BUT I did not know it was priced so low. This is the same price as ninja eclipse and tied for the cheapest pinball that's new. It's half of Elton John. So kudos to American pinball on taking a stance to make a cheaper game, yet keep the price so competitive as well. This definately deserves respect to help make the hobby more affordable as pinballs have become unobtanium... we shall see how people vote with their wallets and if it sells better than galactic.

    Next time you're out to eat with the family, you can re-use the line "Looks like we completed one brisket!". I like the idea of this being a tribute to Barry based around his interests. I also like the little resurgence of more 'classically' designed games (like Pulp Fiction).

    Why can’t AP just use a great theme. Frankenstein and Dracula are in the public domain since Fix says it’s difficult to get a license even though spooky doesn’t have any trouble.
    AP Will be lucky to sell more than 20. AP just doesn’t learn, I mean Fix doesn’t learn. I guess they just refuse to want to make money.
    It’s one thing if they were doing great like Spooky and do something like this. But they haven’t shown a profit in how long?
    AP is now officially a boutique company, not far above Turner. The Princess Bride sales will blow this away.
    The family better not expect much money from sales sadly. Game should be priced at $5500. Their BOM is pretty low on this.
    At some point the money will stop coming in from Aimtron. Just can’t use AP as a tax write off forever. At some point they want to make money.
    They needed a good licensed theme or they are done.

      Mystic from Bally. Actually, the story behind this BBQ game is interesting and there are I think 11 (12?) games designed by Barry Oursler that were given a nod to in this game, since he died before it came out. Mystic is not one of his games, the comparison should have been made with a Barry game, like Space Shuttle, which is probably the strongest influence of all the Barry games in this one. The lead designer, who took over after Barry died, loved Space Shuttle as a kid and coincidentally he got to work with Barry briefly at the start of this one.

    It actually would prefer a machine that wasn't so movie themed. I think a machine with Rock music makes the best one, if they are using the tunes at various stages. This one looks good, but not exciting enough.
