The Music of Video Games [146] Pinbot

[blackcladlizard]

How the hell do you beat the game? It just goes on forever!

[NeonRaeon]

This game terrified me.

[FlameAdder]

I wish I still had the cartridge for this. I could never understand what the game was saying when I was a kid.

[1989gamemaster]

Bringing back good memories to play a very good pinball game, but bringing back bad memories is because the left to right pits of death.

[WhiskersMctabby]

omfg! it's been 12 and a half years.... this takes me way back

[3ponfat]

Give credit to nesguide PLEASE!

[granderwishes]

@3ponfat why does he need to give credit to nesguide? Their name/web addy is IN the video... That's like asking to give MTV credit for something when their logo's splashed across the whole video. You'd have to be blind not to realize Nesguide provided the vid etc to this.

[mcguirerocks]

PINBOT ENGINES ACTIVATED.

[paigeygrey]

omg this game was my SHIT

[YamiGekusu]

I play the living shit out of this game every chance I get. I'm the only one in my house who plays this game a lot. A classic.

[Gravidtron]

Man, I really, REALLY want the Minibosses or someone like that to do a live version of these tracks. You could put them together into a rock opera or something!

[TrueBloodOnegative]

I still got this game, along with all my other nes games.. Havent played it since super NES came out. I wonder if it still works? now I gotta hook it up ;p

[grantmg]

wow thanks for posting, played this one a lot! Such horrible graphics now that I look back

[bloodlyeye]

this is a game that brings back the good times

[CrazyHandMasterHand]

It's an amazing game! I'm surprised to see how underrated it is.

[coventrypunk]

[Camwi]

Ah, the early days of Rare. Very interesting stuff.

[DavidRobinson1983SD]

when i 1st saw this at the store i went wow antoehr pin ball game and i got and loved the music i would sit in my room and listen to it

[sirico]

Best soundtrack ever thanx for this will be covering this in my podcast as we have a section on game themes coming up and your post has helped so much

[brisulph]

Criminally underrated game.

[Descent82]

Oh man, truer words have never been spoken!!

Between this game and High Speed, it's a shame they both never got the appreciation they deserved, they were both very well done home conversions of the actual tables, from sound to ball speed.

[rofltube]

you say its 1990 but you can see on the title screen its 1988

[garudoh]

I use the North American release dates (when available) for my vids.

[link3hyrule]

and now i wanna hook up my NES and play this frustratingly kick ass game!!

[PinballBrendan]

I hate to step in and be the know-it-all here, but David Wise didn't write this music, Chris Granner did. Wise may have been the guy who converted to an 8-bit format for NES, but the music is almost note for note from the real PinBot Pinball machine, which was all done by Chris Granner (Bill Parod is credited with doing sound work on it as well).

[garudoh]

Always cool when people help me out with composer info. Thanks man, I went and changed the video description.

[explod2A03]

Good to know where the original compositional work comes from. For clarification, the NES game credits David Wise for "Music", Paul Proctor for "Sound Effects", and Carole Stamper for "Musical Research". Might not be a bad idea to include all these names under Chris Granner... if you care to!

Great music! :)

[dauntlessmath]

Heheh, I knew it sounded familiar. It's the same composer as the Wizards & Warriors series.

[moonbunnychan]

This was an absolutely amazing game. I played for hours upon hours when I was a kid.

[babymuncher242]

best soundtrak ever

[kimsy520]

I remember this game :) Way too fun.

[Harlower]

Man, I used to love this game. Good to see others out there know about it. LoL.

[bashildy]

A very underrated game with an awesome soundtrack. Released when Rare was just hitting its stride.

[garudoh]

Yeah, I only vaguely remembered this one. Thanks for bringing it up, the soundtrack is indeed awesome.
