Is this real?!
Amazing work. Gotta love you guys!
Nice work. Waiting to see some Stern Spidey videos, too.
EPIC WIN
Amazing work guys! Thank you soo much!
Most Righteous!
What a great Christmas/Hanukah/Kwanza present!
Be well.
Ok, now I can stop playing pinball and just watch instead.
What an AMAZING Chrismahanukwanzakah gift! It’s great that there can be multiple videos of the same game with different perspectives such as gameplay, tutorial, or competition with commentary. What’s better than a FAQ? A full-on video!
“PAPA: Continuing the Resurgence of Pinball”
Respekt!!
Fantastic work! Please keep it up. Your videos are a real treat.
Greetings PAPA team,
I really enjoy and appreciate the posting your videos for games in your collection. Over the last six months I have watched all of the tutorials as they have been posted, now there is a lot more to view.
Your efforts remind me of the early days of the Kona Ironman Triathlon: What started out as a curiousity for hardcore athletes, turned into a major international sport complete with rich corporate sponsorships and Olympic recognition.
I look forward to the day when PAPA tournements are covered by National Television, and guys like Bowen are stalked by packs of female groupies.
Nice work.
Sincerely,
Nate, Boulder CO
Thanks-Loving this
I LOVE the videos!!! The “how to play” videos are GREAT!!! game play videos are cool also!!!
Thanks! These videos are helpful to many people for a variety of reasons. Oh, and the nice high rez pictures accompanying the vids are a great bonus. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic!
I am ecstatic over these — thanks so much. I believe these will go a long way toward significantly increasing the popularity of pinball! Very generous of you for sharing these.
Some audio commentary over the top would be great as well as I always love hearing Bowen’s and others’ knowledgeable insights as I do my favorite sportscasters.
WOW! Thanks so much for these vids! It would be awesome to see additional tutorial videos for Cirqus Voltaire, Theatre Of Magic, Lord Of The Rings, Tales Of The Arabian Nights, Indiana Jones (Williams), and Scared Stiff.
One topic which I find interesting is which games are suitable for tournament play and which are not. It seems unfortunate that many great games have unbalanced scoring which make them poor tournament candidates. Are you ever able to change the scoring (decreasing an unbalanced huge jackpot, for example) to make a game a worthy competition machine?
@Marty – yes, you can often “even out” a game through software settings or sometimes even more extreme measure like disabling a certain switch. If you’re ever curious about how to set up a certain game for a tournament, I’d suggest posing the question (with the game title) to RGP.
Félicitation!!!!! Bravitissimo for you web site !……
Pinball countdown gottlieb ?,,
Your site is amazing !! Thx for all the videos !!
Video of Pinball 2000 , please.
Long life and fun with pinball !!!
Really great vids! Keep it up. Watching Bowen play pinball is really amazing
And if you do requests, I really suck at CftbL – it drives me crazy! I would love to see Bowen play the Creature with some advices about this horrible 2-ball multiball. I did not manage to get a high score on CftbL yet…
@blacky, check out http://pinball.org/videos/tournament/papa/papa-13-final-game-creature-from-the-black-lagoon/
Great videos. I would love to see a Johnny Mnemonic video added. It’s a game that I could use some help with strategy.
