I knew that was gods music (Bitmap Bros). I bought that for both the Amiga and PC back then :) [Magic Pockets was good too]

No one can Shatz like he.

I invited Neil to a bbq at my house. He showed up *exactly* at the starting time. I was still making guacamole when the buzzer rang. GFO RPU.

Thanks!! Working on my Post Transfer last night on my Demolition Man! Shatzing will get me big points on it if I can figure that shot out.

Neil Shatz is one of my favorite players. They guy is so damn good he invented his own move! How cool is that!

Oh cool. Thanks for the reply. Pinball is so damn fun. It's one of the few games that never goes out of style. I enjoyed playing it in the 70's and still enjoy it today. I'd love to own a machine, but the lack of free space in my apartment forbids it. For now I have to make do with Pinball Arcade, and the other collections. Someday though, someday....

so fresh!

awesome

Is that a remix of the theme from Gods the Amiga game playing over the top?

I have GOT to learn me some of those.

👍 Thank you.

It's sometimes called "nerves of steel". If you look at the related videos on the right side of this page, you'll see a video called "Pinball Flipper Technique" that shows it on Whirlwind.

What music is playing for this vid?

It's a remix of Gods that was done for an audio cd.

@caramelnoose yup!

nice simple demo!

What's up with the "ban danish pinball" though..?

Apologies for the blasphemy. It is it possible to do flick passes on pinball arcade on the 360?

I don't know about that one in particular but on most video pinball games it's not really possible. Future Pinball and Pinmame might work, as well as Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection.

Do you know which audio cd? It's driving me crazy as well. I've listened to all the Gods remixes I can find on the net. (Also, these are some sick pinball skills.)

Do they have a name for when you purposely let the ball go down the middle to hit a post (for the machines that have it) and bounce back into play? I always enjoyed doing that one.

What is this song? I know it must be from God - into the wonderfull but... what is it? what version? where is it? it's driving me crazy. lol

I know fun house but the other machine is unknown to me. What is it?

@mandy26lez That's Pinball Magic

What's the point of the last one? 🤔 Very interesting techniques!

isso sim que é profissional!

cool

2:00 The Loop Pass is a too dangerous bc if you release the flipper 1/100 or 1/50 sec too early you might make it bounce not enough and drain in the middle. While it's a small percentage to make the ball accidentally drain that way, it's a catastrophe when it happens - then you f****d yourself. To minimize that to happen you could release the flipper a split second later but often that then will make the ball go into the left slingshot what then might cause the ball go sideways and end up with an outlane drain. After the loop the "volley" shot is the way to go. Sure, at high speed it's hard to make the ball directly go where you want it to and after you shoot the ball upwards, it might result in a bad bounce and a lightning fast drain somewhere. But up and down paths result in less drains than sideways movement. The resulting difference is very small but percentagewise it's best to not carry out the beautiful looking Loop Pass.

Clean that thing- dang bro!

see older comments :-)

Shatzpot!

Retired, Neil?

For me, alley passing is just so ridiculously dangerous that, outside of a few _extremely_ specific circumstances, it's just not worth the risk. Flip a fraction of a second too early? Ball's going into the bottom of the opposite sling and likely right down the drain. Flip a fraction of a second too late? It's just flying into the tip of the opposite flipper before falling into the drain. Nail the timing, but do it just a smidge too hard? It's rocketing up the inlane and U-turning into the outlane. There's just too much risk for not enough reward, and as such it's nothing more than a flashy trick shot the vast majority of the time.
