    How could you say that about theater of magic 🙁 it hurt a little, i used to play that game growing up…

  3. MarquisDeSang on January 12, 2021 at 5:16 pm

    I cannot go there because it would make me crazy. When I die, I don’t want to go to paradise, I want to go there.

    Elton john is the pinball wizard in TOMMY……..

  5. Nate Hollingsworth on January 12, 2021 at 5:17 pm

  6. Paul Lemay on January 12, 2021 at 5:19 pm

    Diner is my favorite.

  7. Insert Redletter Media Meme Here on January 12, 2021 at 5:22 pm

    That Impact Pinball was from 1975 and manufactured by Interflip S.A.

    13:44 50 cent tag stolen from a Stern pinball machine.

  9. Todd Martin on January 12, 2021 at 5:23 pm

    The hall of fame wasn’t all that great. Been there. The woman was rude and unprofessional. She also looked she just left a all nite party. Dirty..dirty place too

  10. The Deal Las Vegas on January 12, 2021 at 5:25 pm

    dig dug’s now in there….

  11. Michele Lindsley on January 12, 2021 at 5:25 pm

    Have you ever been to Pinball Perfection in Pittsburgh Pa?

  12. Kim Thompson on January 12, 2021 at 5:26 pm

    Many of those 60’s and 70’s games are very challenging. They might not have all the extras the modern machines have, but most of the great pinball players broke their cherries on these machines

  13. FUNKYSPECTRUM on January 12, 2021 at 5:26 pm

    hello mate the impacto table is a spanish table it was also released in the usa with a different top and the name "impact". the company are still on the go and are still sort of in the same sphere but more gambling machine focused now http://www.rfranco.com/en/landing#

  14. Sunset Hotline on January 12, 2021 at 5:29 pm

    The guy 44:40 is really excited he beat that kid lol

  15. Shadow Ninja on January 12, 2021 at 5:29 pm

    Oh wow, I remember playing the bulldozer game when I was a kid
    In Point Pleasant NJ at Jenkinson arcade on the boardwalk. That brought back memories. So cool.

    Yes and I also had a spiderman helicopter like that also. My favorite toy.

  16. FUNKYSPECTRUM on January 12, 2021 at 5:31 pm

    spain was actually quite a big country for pinball, producing a lot of their own machines. i live in spain and these do pop up semi regularly online for sale here are some but there are quite a lot more http://www.recreativas.org/empresas/recreativos%20franco-302/flyers-pinball/

  17. bic papermate on January 12, 2021 at 5:32 pm

    There’s a Rollercoaster Tycoon pinball machine? Do you know how many years I spent playing RCT?

  18. VINDOMRAM VINDOMRAM on January 12, 2021 at 5:35 pm

    Hope nobody saw me looking into the pervert machine. I was only curious.

  19. Nemo's world of randomness on January 12, 2021 at 5:37 pm

    I didn’t see a gottleib gold wings pinball

  20. Anthony the App Guy on January 12, 2021 at 5:37 pm

    I really want to go there. I love pinball so much.

  21. ThrobbinHood on January 12, 2021 at 5:39 pm

    I was really excited about this place *UNTIL* I heard it’s quarters only.. 75 cents for three balls is absurd. That’s not conducive to a hall of fame/museum atmosphere where people want to try many games..

  22. KARIN LANE on January 12, 2021 at 5:40 pm

    This is the first time I’ve seen one of your videos! I’m going to the PHOF in December. I was impressed by the pinball and your commentary. I know I’m going to have fun there. However, i think I was more impressed by your basement arcade! ALL those games were from the time I used to frequent arecades, when Westworld was a popular arcade chain. I wish those wete at the PHOF. Can I come to your basement and spend my money there too? lol Well, keep up the good work.

  23. Gullysquad on January 12, 2021 at 5:40 pm

    awsome vid man,you should do more and play some and film great stuff.

  24. Nate Hollingsworth on January 12, 2021 at 5:41 pm

    and star trek had an lcd

  25. The Kurt's Place Channel on January 12, 2021 at 5:42 pm

    I had a great time at the Pinball Hall Of Fame in Las Vegas too. It really brought back some great memories as well. Take care now.

  26. martywolfman on January 12, 2021 at 5:42 pm

    Oh man, what a place! I’d fly out to Las Vagas and just spend the whole week in here! I’d probably lose more money than if I spent that time in a casino too 😀

  27. Zubr Hero on January 12, 2021 at 5:44 pm

    38:14 How dare you!!! The movie was great!!!

    …I’ll let you have the Johnny Mnemonic one though… that movie sucked. 😀

    Awesome tour, cheers! I’ve got a friend currently on holiday (from UK) in Vegas, and I just messaged her about this place. I’m not sure if its not on her checklist of "things to do whilst in Vegas"… but man, I think I could spend the entire vacation at this magical place.

  28. john Quillan on January 12, 2021 at 5:45 pm

    John isnt very observant…There were 4 games left on the Centigrade 37..

  29. NEWS PORN on January 12, 2021 at 5:47 pm

  30. Zee Sunoo on January 12, 2021 at 5:50 pm

    Thanks for the virtual tour to the museum. Wish it was even more longer. ☺️ Subbed ya man.

  31. skywarp727 on January 12, 2021 at 5:51 pm

    Awesome video John.

  32. wrinkleneckbass on January 12, 2021 at 5:51 pm

    42:48 Night Rider was the first pinball machine I ever played as a kid back in the mid 70’s. I totally got addicted after that.

    I know it’s been awhile lol, but curious to what he said? Did he not want to let you film inside? Some places are so sketch about that!

  35. Vic X on January 12, 2021 at 5:56 pm

    I spent a whole day there. It was worth the trip to Las Vegas on its own. I spent hours on the Circus pinball it was so fun to play. Fantastic place to visit

  36. Luzur on January 12, 2021 at 5:57 pm

    Tim Arnold is actually selling his pinball business atm, if im not mistaken, also, the controversy around that text on the knife might be beacuse it says "Meine Ehre heisst treue" which was the motto of the SS and also used on SS parade knives during the war.

  37. branden32210 on January 12, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    happy thanksgiving mr.john

  38. Bad Maria Productions on January 12, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    The best place to go in Vegas for pinball fans. Also visit the modded pins at the rollercoaster entrance in New York, New York casino.

  39. Coolzombi on January 12, 2021 at 5:59 pm

    Awesome video John ! So many of these classic pinball has super white led, they could at least use warm white led..

  40. Watchman4u on January 12, 2021 at 6:01 pm

    I could play that Line Drive for hours……I love those games. I bet I could get one cheap. They are so Fun!!!!

  41. Máquinas & Nerds - Documentários on January 12, 2021 at 6:02 pm

    We visited the Pinball Hall of Fame in May / 2017 and we really liked it because it brings the nostalgia of the arcades of the 80s. On my return to Vegas in Oct / 2019 I put Pinball back on the script.
    I exchanged 20 dollars in 25c coins (the machines only accept 25c coins and the games vary from 0.50 to 2 dollars). We took some pictures to remember the visit and also publicize the Hall of Fame for free on our travel blog to the United States.
    When I was going to play at the Transformers Pinball, an older employee (maybe even the owner) came all arrogant and aggressive saying he couldn’t shoot or take pictures. He said with total rudeness that the place had three rules (none of them were written at the entrance, next to the machine for exchanging banknotes for coins): one of them is that it was forbidden to take photos because the machines were his property and the photos could not go for internet. He threatened us saying that if we took more pictures or stayed in the establishment without playing, he would call the police. I also said that parking is not "free" and only for customers. A player who was at our side was also startled by such ignorance from the attendant.
    If you didn’t want us to take pictures, you could politely ask that there would be no problem and also install notices on the door and on the machines prohibiting photos.

    With the arrogance lost client, we will not recommend Pinball to anyone and report the terrible treatment on our blog.
    With this treatment to customers it is explained why in 2 and a half years the place is the same and until today it has not been to the strip.
    A third of the machines stopped and in the middle of Colombo’s holiday had almost no one in the place.
    We didn’t want to argue, we got in the car and went to play at Circus Circus’ Midway that the only rule was to have fun.

  42. ATMAtim on January 12, 2021 at 6:02 pm

    We visited in early October on a whim, just to get away from what we had experienced at Mandalay Bay a couple of days prior, and absolutely loved this place. We did a pretty good job feeding the bill changer.
    We are already wanting to visit Las Vegas again and will sure stop by and play more games. We wish the Pinball Hall of Fame much success.

  43. Chris blablabla on January 12, 2021 at 6:02 pm

    hoy don’t have vídeos of Phantom of te opera,Batman 1 and Star Trek, every DATA EAST

  44. Lee Lizard Wilcox on January 12, 2021 at 6:02 pm

    that basketball game was rebuilt on the TV show American Restoration

  45. Nathan Melzer on January 12, 2021 at 6:05 pm

    NO… G O R G A R !

  46. Just Imagine on January 12, 2021 at 6:05 pm

    Fantastic tour.  I was stuck in Las Vegas for 10 days once and would have enjoyed seeing this.  It was long before it was built.  I liked the comments about each game… this one is great… this one is awful… etc.  Theatre of Magic… hmm… overrated… probably… Almost everyone I have over wants to play that thing. Voltaire is better but the creepy clown factor is a little there with Voltaire. Indy is the way to go… and Elvira.  Thanks for the extra long video.  I loved it.!!!

  47. Simon Wax on January 12, 2021 at 6:07 pm

    Really enjoyed this, wish there was one in Australia.

  48. Ralf on January 12, 2021 at 6:12 pm

    is there an Mr. Do also? Had funny times in my youth with it…:-)

  49. suprunown on January 12, 2021 at 6:12 pm

    Nice video! I was in the PBHOF shortly after it first opened in an old strip mall on Tropicana… a lot less games than it has now, but I saw few in there I played. Nice to see the Wizard, Capt. Fantastic and KISS machines working – they were "in progress" when I was there.One machine that they DID have then (which would be about… oh, 10 years ago?) was one called PUNK… i remember it because it had an extra wide body (think it was a Gottlieb, but not sure…).

  50. Chip van meter on January 12, 2021 at 6:13 pm

    Awesome! I played a ton of the older machines. Heading to LV in march and will tour this place thanks!!!!
