Videos: digitized pinball VHS tapes and much more (good videos part 4)

I brought home a number of goodies from COAPF in June.  Thanks to Swizzle @ Gaming Alexandria for digitizing these first 5 VHS tapes for me.  We've included scans of the cases.

Who's ready for some lo-fi pinball b-roll footage?  We've got bunch of digitized VHS tapes and a whole bunch of other great videos beneath them.  (Prior video posts: 123)


Pinball Fantasy '96




Bingorilla Number 2 (Winter 1997)




Bride of Bingorilla (Number 3, Spring 1997)





System 1 Super Show (Number 4, Spring 1998)





Girls Don't Make Passes at Boys with Backglasses (Number 5, Spring 1997)



Note: the game "Big Dick" had to be removed from the video to allow it to be on Youtube.  When this gets uploaded to The Internet Archive it will be the unedited version.





Let's round out the Tim Arnold videos with the first in the series, though someone else digitized and uploaded this one, years ago:

Pingame Gerbil #1 (1996)



Technology Connections pinball series

Another important video series is a brand new 3-part series by Technology Connections, explaining how a 4-player EM pinball machine works.  Even if you're familiar with pinball tech, this overview is a great example of concise technical communication, and a good review of the theory of operation.






More videos!
