Classic Game Room HD - MIDNIGHT MAGIC pinball for Atari 2600

[AbuBishir]

You want to play arcade games now, you gotta go to the movie theater.

[mdcowboy15]

My grandparents have a pinball machine in their basement. Man, I loved to play on that thing!

[PanaMacSpana]

You sound depressed in this review.

[fpvshitsonhsv]

You got to knock out the colourd plates on the top to get to the next level it will change from pink to blue then to green ,yellow brown ect . But if you losse the ball it will make you start over on the next unless you get the ball around the ears of the bear and the screen will flash. This makes it so you will stay on the level for the next ball. Note can only do it once for each level ,its got alot more to the game other then just racking points ,was a great game and still play it sometimes

[fpvshitsonhsv]

Used to play this all the time as a young lad it was great fun

[spinamajig]

I don't like real pinball machines, cause they always take all my money! I suck... :(

[stufaman]

In video game pinball defence, DS pinball games are a blessing. The perfect chillout game.

[emojo1990]

i LOVE this game, the phisics were great for the time, i do admit that it blows not being able to use 1 flipper at a time....

[genesislordofdarknes]

In Japan the arcades still do pretty good buisness.

[nviso209]

Oh shit MAYHEM is BACK!

[MattTheSaiyan]

"physically manhandle the machine and get your ball what you want it to do"....wait, what? LOL!

[rleary1]

Not the greatest but I was always impressed with Microsoft Windows Pinball.

[TiroDvD]

Pinball lives long, at the bowling alleys!

[animehatchetman]

sonic spinball is pretty decent attempt at pinball on a video game console

[GamerBoyGod]

i really miss arcades my just closed down FML

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Arcades dying is one of the reasons I detest World of Warcraft.

And if anyone's gonna write to me, saying anything along the lines of, "Fuck you! WoW is awesome, and you're an idiot for hating it," don't bother, because I've heard it all.

[Bradkalproductions]

@NinjaGhostScorpion

how about Fuck WoW your awesome and your smart for hating it]

We need more pinball machines and more arcades!

[S0ryiu]

@NinjaGhostScorpion the thing I loved about arcades (off topic of pinball) was the amount of quirky and cheesy games that were so stupid yet fun to play multilayer.

[Brad2325]

I had the old Video Pinball for the 2600 when I was a kid and I found a glitch that allowed me to bounce the ball up and down through the multiplier thing at the top and score unlimited points. The only thing missing was a multiball... There was a game for the old Amiga 500 called "Pinball Dreams" that was probably the most accurate pinball sim that I ever played. I think you can download most of the specs for all the real pinball machines on emulators now and recreate them on your computer.

[silenceofthehills]

Agreed on the pin ball machine thing.

[silenceofthehills]

Theres some exelent ps2/3 pinball games with accurate machine recreations. I think they should be the best virtually. Probably have them on 360 and wii too.

[shblaze30k]

we got a pinball machine for Christmas 2000 (or '01, i'm not to sure), and it's the greatest thing ever.

[therealKINDLE]

Dude, you really suck at this game! You didn't even get on to the 2nd level!

[kidcloneinteractive]

so does the music you play in most of your reviews reflect your personal taste in music? i do enjoy the music you play in these videos. ^^

[Luigi84289]

best pinball game ever alongside spinball on vectrex.

[TheCastellan]

Looks like a robot, don't it?

[Tryzon]

This game's title is moderately suggestive...how disturbing.

[duncemaster5]

haha

[dustyatari]

lol

[AlucardsQuest]

For some reason I don't like pinball, but I like pinball games. This was one of my favorites, another is Alien Crush & Devil's Crush. Mario Pinball and Metroid Prime Pinball are okay but my absolute favorite pinball was Pinball Quest for the NES! It's like an Action/RPG Pinball game... wicked fun!

[FangoChris]

Dark Knight Pinball would rule! (Why So Serious? HAHAHAHAHA)

[Trodlgrimm]

A friend of mine made the counter go round twice. Now that is skills.

[dgkalldaybabay]

isnt it DAVIDS midnight magic?

[v1ralman]

We need to save Pinball NOW!

Just think how sad and dissapointed it would be if we didn't have them anymore.

[joltcoladude]

try KISS pinball for playstation thats a good one or KISS pinball for computer

[jtimes22]

try pinball hall of fame the williams collection for the wii its very fun and realistic

[blade004]

Damn i haven't seen this game since the 80's!! Before the Atari 2600 my Brother bought a CBS Colecovision, but the ultimate systems were the C64 & the AMIGA!!! :), but i "loved" Midnight Magic back in the day.

[HypnoToad72]

Try Williams Pinball for the Wii - the physics are fantastic. :)

[yaywhewclips242]

this was a response to the lame Video Pinball game release several years earlier. Although, my father played the original pinball game for hours. This was a fun game and had a smaller ball that the older game. When U hit all the colors the result was very anti-climantic. but, still good game. Here's a tip on hooking up a 1977-1983 Atari 2600 VCS (and 5200). USE AN OLD TV!! It's a lot easier to hook up to an very older NON- cable ready TV.

[r0g3r]

Bring back pinball!

[Mortaro117]

Hey Mark do you have an AMC Eagle? Because that would be AWSOME! I wish i did.

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Old-school is the fucking best!

[Freshestcream]

best pinball game on the 2600

[CKaphwan]

I Agree! XD The best pinball game and the first I think

[notyoursavior78]

hehe yeah this was one of the first (if not the first) games I got for the Atari 2600 way back all those years when it came out. Well my older brother actually bought this system and I guess he really wanted to get this game.

I like pinball enough (and I still have this game with all the other old 2600 games) but it wasn't that great, though I guess it wasn't all that bad either.

[JDFlava]

Hey you should try Pinball Hall of Fame The Williams collection for the Wii. It's by far the best video game translation of classic pinball tables that I've ever played.

It's a lot of fun and extremely addictive. Plus it's a steal at only 20 bucks...

[WCWite]

wow good grafix for atari

[stafax]

Brings back memories! This is the 2nd game that my parents got for my brother and I. I wasn't too big on this game at the time, my brother liked it a lot more then I did. I remember he would get mad at me for playing on Easy Mode, like you were on this video =P

[ShoobyBugger]

Did the 'physics' take up so much cartridge space that they couldn't make the table more complex?

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Pinball Dreams / Pinball Fantasies on the Amiga is probably the closest to an authentic feel a pinball machine has ever got on the home.

But theres the Rocky and Bullwinkle pinball game coming out on XBLA in a few weeks!

[v2791]

hmmm someone saw the ball? XD

I dont

[sinistermoon]

Haha well I agree with what you have to say about pinball. And I do have this game in my Atari collection. But it is my firm opinion that this game blows! Even for its time.

[InecomCompany]

I tried to let it down gently :)

[boomstick545]

game room is awesome, could we see some more dreamcast reviews?

[Cherabreena]

Yay for the arcades! (First comment from a female fan)... I recall you and Dave mentioned in another review that you believe you don't have any female fans... Well, you do! xD

[InecomCompany]

Hooray for girls!!

[Cherabreena]

XD !!

[DJRoxi]

@Cherabreena I second that notion :) All female with real curves (no wood panelling though ... sorry)!

Love and respect from Canada :)
