This describes how me and my gf feel about the hobby too. Thank you for making this. Such a great video production. Where is this museum located?

as a fellow pinball enthusiast, I really enjoyed this short film. Thank you for uploading it

I didn’t know pinball had that much of a history, I just saw it as a fun way to pass time. Great work with the documentary!🎉

“They dont build them like they used to” i felt that

This is amazing, thank you

Steve and Bobbi are the real deal when it comes to pinball, so is Replay. It's a real fun place to get together with family and friends and they literally have tons of games. It's even a great place to have a wedding reception. Love you guys!

I have the exact opposite experience. The older games are much harder to keep running and the newer games from Stern play for thousands of plays out of the box before needing maintenance. Not sure why these operators are having trouble, maybe its because newer games are receiving orders of magnitude more plays than older ones.

As far as original themes go, they’re still there but limited. I loved Black Knight 2000 and was thrilled when Black Knight Sword of Rage was released by Stern with Steve Ritchie’s involvement.

As a pinball repairman, I dig this, and agree.

Great video, well presented.

Wonderful film and collection!

Playing "split flipper"... That was really a great moment in this video! Amazing that you both share such a passion for the same thing.

I've recently got into virtual pinball games and I've found the games that are original or have unique ideas always stand out to me, as opposed to the themed tables, and I was wondering if pinball enthusiasts felt the same way. Great video! Thanks for sharing.

I came here once out of curiosity and almost immediately became a regular. This place is basically my second house. I love everything about it. The vibe is great. The people who work there are great. If I don't go for a day or two, my wrists start to twitch.

Brilliant!

It's so cool to see people with such passion for an industry that's so well known but also sort of small

American Pinball has pretty much all original themes. Their only license so far is Hot Wheels.

Enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

3:54 whaaaaat?!?! That's a pro move!

Great video! Keep Flipping!

Great video! I actually went to the Replay Museum for the very first time just about a month ago. It's about an hour drive from me. What an awesome establishment and tremendous value. I can't recommend it more highly to anyone who is in the west, central Florida area. Thanks for sharing this great testimony.

This seems like such a cool place to visit! Thanks for sharing with us

My friend has 5 pinball machines in his house. It feels like going back in time lol.

Arcades may or may not be closing (thanks COVID), but the home market for these games are sky rocketing. Prices on these pins, both old and new, are getting higher and higher with a new fanbase getting bigger every year. Super cool with this couple sharing the hobby and the enthusiasm they have for the hobby. A match made in heaven!

I love pinball!

Great stuff! I love pinball and the replay museum in Tarpon springs is amazing!

Dialed in is the last original table I've seen in at least 10 years

Nice short film! I wish all u pinball places would have more EM machines.

So well made!! And It made me want to go to an arcade and play some pinball haha

I’ve watched this ten times and now I love pinball

There have been a few new pinball arcades open up recently in my area of West Michigan, which is really cool and has me hopeful. Some barcades with coin play, some just pinball/video games with a flat rate and free play. We definitely need more.

Such an interesting hobby, great video ong no kizzy.

Per me è il paradiso💖💖

Hey that’s my sisterrrr!!!!

I love to play pinball.

Interesting to hear the newer machines take more maintenance than the older ones. Might be gettin a Tommy or a Dr Who soon. My first pin 😁😁

I want to flip for a pinballing girl II.

That was so cute playing together. PS you have a free hand to give the partner a slap if the ball goes down due to them! LOL Ps great Video.

Pretty sure that guy was at free play florida.

I agree their should be more original themed games but I think she makes it seem like none have been made in recent years. She only mentions Black Knight as an original theme that has been brought back but skips over games like Dialed In and TNA.

Very nice production, well done! If you'd like to do a Part Deux, let's collab!

My problem with modern games is on the screens and using clips from the IP with the heavy reliance on "code" through its gimmick factors to use flippers for not flipping. Those elements goes beyond being a traditional pinball game. Whereas the creative work shines through more on a DMD screen and its programming. There is some IP bloat, not going to disagree with that, but I think you can still properly asses the game if you detract the IP from the game and treat it as more generic elements. You also have to understand that not every game is created equal. Anyways, awesome interview and hearing people's thoughts on pinball through running a pinball museum.

Avenger's infinity is a great game with awesome shots so bad match up to the opinions complaining about themes. BUT I do prefer fixing old games where you can replace a component and not a whole micro-board for a broken LED.

Can't wait to DEATH SAVE on those machines!

I'm in total agreement with intellectual property always being the theme around a table. The same songs playing over and over again, the screens playing the same clips... it's annoying. The depth of new machines is great for tournaments, and online connectivity is cool but that's about it.
