This was my FIRST effort back in 1989, making a video about what all those flashing lights and switches you were hitting really did! The video is very short--and although I covered many elements, others were not explained as well as I later learned in later videos in this series--but I think you will enjoy this! It was filmed on HiBand 8mm video and edited right in the camera. A side note--some stores the game was placed into did not care for the theme of the "Devil" and insisted the machine be removed!
Please be sure to see our other videos in this special series! We also offer these videos in compilation sets on DVD--where you can get clearer picture and sound!

Excellent video. Thanks for documenting this. I own only the playfield, and had no idea this game had such cool features.

Nice video. Lays out the rules nicely. I just picked up a devil's dare and thought my machine was having an aneurysm after the multi ball. Glad to see that's normal

Todd, great video, for even back then, very descriptive as far as I am concerned....I have one and it is a bugger ! Great HIGHLY underated game for the play...this would be an asskicker for a tourney. The widebody makes for great tricky game play ! Great video again Todd !!

Great Video! I used to play this pinball in my twenties as a student and I still remember that I found the backglass with the devil's face very creepy but fascinating at the same time...😱😄👍😉

A strange choice was made in hardware for speech playback in tables of this era. They used a Votrax SC01 chip for this which made the speech sound robotic or like a vocoder. The sound effects and background noises had their own style which were typical for Gottlieb. Bally for example used the Squawk and Talk board in this era with a more human sounding voice like in Elektra or Centaur. Somehow the voice and SFX fit this nice table well. fine job you did on explaining the rules too.

Gottlieb did a strange choice in hardware for sound and speech for tables of this era. Using a robotic sounding Votrax SC01-chip for speech while for example Bally was using the Squawk and Talk board which sounded much more human in speech (e.g.Elektra, Centaur). This votrax-chip was also used to play the sound-effects and background noises which was typical for Gottlieb. though it is a nice table for which you did a fine job in explaining the rules for it.

Devil's Dare makes an appearance in the film Willy's Wonderland (kind of). The Willy's Wonderland pinball machine, is a repurposed Devil's Dare. It's explained in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mKelosp3nKiVoHU.html

Hmm I hear a lot of little music bytes from gottlieb's haunted house err or was it haunted house that borrowed sound bytes from devil's dare

This video was made in 89?

Yes...almost all of the Understanding Pinball videos were filmed in 1989 and 1990 on high band 8mm video...the best a consumer could buy at the time. It was edited in the camera, backing up to record over mistakes...a long process because I had no editing software at the time.
