Williams Star Trek: The Next Generation Pinball

[lcromy]

I played a lot of pinball back in the day, and the Star Trek TNG pinball machine was the finest one I ever played. Absolute fun.

#2 on the list would probably be the Simpsons pinball.

[trufiend138]

i would buy this game in NY minute!!!!! beast pinball game ever

[hosersupreme]

Much like Black Knight 2000, one of the best pinball games ever made.

[thomaswelvaert]

my favorite pinball machine, had the high score on this machine in my city. I loved the borg multiball sequences!

[Daehawk]

This and F14 Tomcat are where all my pinball money went. Nice table man very nice. Wish I could be so lucky. I think I wasted more of my wife's money than mine in this lol.

[Trackball816]

"We will NEVER surrender--unless you pay us enough."

That line is so much funnier coming from Patrick Stewart...

[SirBroadsword]

"All hands, prepare for multi-ball!" I love it...

[MrNiceHk]

Not really crazy about pinball tables but I loved this game ...

[Tm5729]

never had cash to own my own game, but loved pinball most my life, cant find em around anymore. this one was awesome, and i agree T2 was also hot, we use to go across town just to play a "Dr, Who" version with multilevel tartus that would lock the balls.

[TheMasterChipmunk]

This is my favorite Pinball game ever.

@arcaderehab What's the highest score you have ever gotten on this? Mine was just a little over 4.4 billion.

Also, how do you get the Grand Champion score? I have beaten it at my house, but it doesn't let me put in my initials!

[morgoth0909]

@TheMasterChipmunk

my hi score was 32 billion any 1 out there matched that?

[TheMasterChipmunk]

@morgoth0909 With how many buy-ins?

[morgoth0909]

@TheMasterChipmunk

no buy- ins m main goal when i play is getting as many extra balls as i can and just going for multi-ball instead of going for missions

[TheMasterChipmunk]

@morgoth0909 I need to change my strategy a little bit and get around to fixing the thing. My main problem is that I always hit the ball too hard and then it goes out. Any advice for me on how to solve this problem? Also, where do you get extra balls? I can get one on the Shuttle Maze and occasionally one on the Battle Simulation, but where are the others? I know the launch a probe has one, but that's selected at random. I'm asking a lot of Q's, but I'd appreciate if you could help me out here.

[nashvillan4lif]

@TheMasterChipmunk I knew there was one in the Shuttle Maze and in Battle Simulation. I think there is also one if you get high enough multipliers. In this video, Extra Ball was triggered when he reached 8X bonus. I do know you can also light extra ball if you reach Warp Factor 8. He did trigger it again when he reached Replay value, but that's his personal setting. Usually, Replay means Free Game. Oh, does Flipper Skill Shot sometimes light it?

[kaker69]

so, there is magnets under the voard that make the ball goes passed the flippers right? i've seen the balls on pinball machines to funny things to suggest magnets under the board

[colbran]

My favourite Pinball game of all time.

[GreenFenril]

Holy shit man, you're good,  the best I've done in this game is score replay 5 or 6 straight times, maybe top 10 twice

[Keoni3535]

LOL at 6:35 "Unless you pay us enough"

[SuperT3rminator]

We have it in our house, it's awesome. My dad has kept it from his old store

[dglover4569]

I have the same sound roms, but I have never heard Picard say " we will never surrender unless you pay us enough" or the sound at the start of the game. How do you activate those? thanks.

Dan

[vt8man]

I own STTNG, T2, TOTAN, and BSD friggin awesome pin.

[UnFreggginReaL]

this game, terminator 2 judgement day, and earth shaker are my 3 all time favorite pinball games.. i used to kill these games

[rowland2110]

How high does the warp mission go? I remember getting it to 9.6 or something.  Is it warp 10? And how many points does that give you?

[rowland2110]

Used to take a 40 minute trolley ride into pittsburgh just to play this.

[jorant]

I own this game and love it... but I have to ask, how the hell do you get your sling shots to fire SO hard? I know you're using white rubber, but are you using a stronger coil in there than what should be? Those suckers are firing the ball all over the place!

[arcaderehab]

Normal coils, just freshly rebuilt at the time the video was shot.

If the kicker plunger does not be replaced, I clean it and the rest of the assembly with Iso alcohol. Replace the plunger sleeve and put one *tiny* drop of rem (gun) oil on the pivot.

[SAMMYJS991]

WOW - 3 BILLION+ point on a pinball game??

as Darth Vader would say, "impressive"!

[NONESOEVIL]

3:32 Riker:"Hold on tight, this could get rough"

That's what she said!

[boogiefever1985]

At 6:30 when it says Lock Lit 3 - what determines what happens? Sometimes I get a video mode, sometimes I have a probe launch type thing where you have to shoot at the transporter in the back middle. I can't work out what changes the mode following Lock Lit 3!!! Help!

[justthisguy749]

boogie - the skill shot is a bit weird when it comes to the locks.

In a standard 3-ball game, you can only choose "Lite Lock" from the skill shot twice. After that, "Lite Lock" changes to "Lite Holodeck", which leads to the video mode that you described. (I think "Lite Lock" changes to something else during 5-ball games - I'm unsure of that.)

By the way, the option to the left of "Lite Lock"/"Lite Holodeck" Is "Launch Probe", so I think you simply chose the wrong option then.

[boogiefever1985]

Why didn't the kickback work?

[RomanRower]

lmfao how did u mod the machine to get Picard to say "we will never surrender... unless you pay us enough..." XD

[sportsmen00]

At the end, I first heard "you are a horrible player" wtf?! :D

I'd like to own one of these :)

[RomanRower]

I used to have this game in my house. easily the greatest pinball machine EVER!!!

[funtyrone]

you guys from diego county remember this being at the boardwalk?

[Toolshed76]

This is definitely my favorite pinball game ever!

[oldirtydawson]

You're good!!!!!

[AlbertaGamer]

3 Billion! After the first 2 balls, I wondered how the heck the game could last 9 minutes... but you kicked arse on those multiball and jackpot modes.

I played this tons back in the 90's. Now, the only classic arcades left in Calgary I know of are inside the Calgary International Airport (have only been there when I am taking flights, every few years) and the Greyhound bus station (some 20-year-old games). There's movie theatre arcades, but they're all the new, expensive games that I hate.

[simbeau]

Best part was getting to tell Data to shut-up.

[RomanRower]

Thank you, Mr. Data

[Lakota305]

Push both flipper buttons at the same time. I loved it.

[pacfrodo]

We bought this machine for the office a week ago and now everyone is addicted! It's great!

[alucard624]

I remember playing this at a place called Planet Fun in Albuquerque, New Mexico when I was a kid. It was sitting right next to the original X-Men arcade game. I remember being totally blown away by how badass it was for a pinball machine. It is still my all time favorite pinball machine, next to the Twilight Zone one and Indiana Jones. If only I could afford getting this machine.

[peewee2627]

is this game a bitch to repair/mantain??? I'm thinking of buying one down the street that has been refurbished to new condition.

[Lyubefan]

Great!! Red rubbers really do have higher quality than white!! or black!

[vatossan]

for how much can i get it?

[pacfrodo]

We bought a fully restored one for about 1400

[vatossan]

uhhhhhh...no way jose.

[rubent100]

yeah right 1400. u lose

[pacfrodo]

Well how much should a decent price be then?

[rubent100]

2400

[XmasPackage193]

Well Played Sir!

[Nightenstaff]

This is a great pin, but I can only assume the maintenance on it is murder. So many specialized parts... I have a hard enough time keeping up with my 1977 - 1983 pins =)

[jedahdoma]

I remember playing this as a kid some time ago, but have never played it since. Loved the game. Oh fuzzy memories.
