I have one of these machines too! I put blue LEDs in mine which make it look more like it's in the far reaches of space. I recently installed the pascal circuit board and now it's even better with options like chance ball added.

My boss, a guy named Jim Capp actually invented this machine. He sold it to gottleib decades ago and used it to start his own unix open source company. So long story short, this pinball machine is the reason I have a job XD

Thanks for the review. Farsight's Pinball Arcade knocked long-standing Attack From Mars out of its position as my favorite pinball ever in favor of Black Hole and I wanted to know if it's equally as awesome in real life as it is on the computer. I did track down a Black Hole on eBay for only a thousand bucks, which is a nice catch for a pinball table, and I've promised myself that if I ever get rich enough instead of buying a fancy car I'll be sticking one of these in my house. Maybe in the foyer so I can lure people on the way in.

I highly respect that you go out of your way to review not only console titles, but the actual consoles themselves, cabinets, machines, accessories, packaging, etc! CGR4EVER! From a long-time fan, Chris

Hey man, great review! To be honest, I like all of your videos. Not just because I love games (pinball especially), but also because of your highly original sense of humor. That makes your videos really enjoyable, no matter what the subject is. TX tx tx ... tx tx TX! Hilarious. I even bought a TX-Sector after watching that video. Keep it up! For those of you that are in doubt about buying a Black Hole pin: do it! If you're not convinced yet after watching this video, check out my gameplay video of Black Hole as well! You can find it on my KZfaq page.

Hey Mark, just outside of Las Vegas is a "Pinball Hall Of Fame". Basically, its a building with row after row of machines dating from modern times (such as Tron Legacy) to tables from the 60's. You should check it out. And bring a huge bag of quarters.
