Hi Pinside gang,

I don't usually start a new topic for pinball video uploads. But, I worked on this particular piece for a few months (in between "real" work, life and other personal issues ... ha ha) and am very happy with how it turned out and wanted to share. It is a 40+ minute presentation primarily about the making of Stern's "Ghostbusters" pinball machine.

The short story behind it: In October of 2016 I visited Stern Pinball and planned on grabbing a couple QUICK sound bytes from John Trudeau about Ghostbusters (so I could intertwine them with my GB unboxing video). We ended up chatting about the game for over 40 minutes and a lot of great stuff was revealed. Had I known that would happen, I would have brought along a better microphone.

But ... I digress.

Anyway, I edited a video together and uploaded it to YouTube today.

Here is a direct link in case it might interest you. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Chris Bucci

Thanks for embedding the link. I have no idea why it didn't work first time (edited and fixed it).

And thanks Modfather. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks a lot. I am so glad you enjoy it.

I have to thank John and some of the folks who sent video and pics. It really helped add a little more to it than it would have had.

Thanks guys. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I always love information on games like this.

Your footage was perfect Kevin. Thanks also for the preview / quick look.

Ha ha, thanks I appreciate it (although I'm sure the wallet isn't very happy with me, lol!)
I was thinking of maybe giving the pin-collection series another go. Especially with the HD and some mixing around of the collection some. Hmmmm.

Thanks for the support and watching!

Thanks for watching.

Thanks pezpunk. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had some other questions that didn't elicit interesting answers that were cut and a few I thought about "after-the-fact" and didn't get to (of course, ugh! Ha ha).

Hey ... I'm up for it! A game for a video? Hmmmm

Yes indeed. Love the proton stream idea.

Thanks for watching and the kind words.

I'm usually a couple years "behind" so ... we'll save 4k for the next batch. Lol.

Ha ha! I know, The Law, seriously.
We would have been better off at the hot dog joint across the place ... mm, man that was good. Lol!

Indeed!
I originally figured I would only grab a few sound-bytes and then incorporate them into a different video. So, the thought of this being a "Making of for 40 minutes" shindig was faaaaar from my mind.

Thanks for taking the time to watch. I'm glad you found it enjoyable.

Dammit ... you're onto me.

Thanks Dave_W!

Yes Cheddar .. same here! Steve rocks that camera man! John Trudeau got me the information on that. I would have loved to see all those games in a row in person and play them.

Thanks Panzer .. I hope you enjoy it!
So far I am EXTREMELY happy with my game. I haven't purchased a NIB for five years before (Transformers) and so I was crossing my fingers. I made some adjustments others have made (Slimer dragging, bent switch on main ramp, adjusted a few other goodies). But, nothing QC-issue-wise has happened (unlike TF) with my game. It was built perfectly and I love it.

I'm looking forward to a code update. After seeing the hundreds, it seems, of Hudson speech calls in the Browser / ROMS, and a ton of movie clips in there still, I am hoping this is a sign we shall have a big update sometime. But, even as-is ... the game is quite solid.

Thanks Delt31. Glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah, Trent has always been great to deal with. For sure.

Thanks guys! So glad you enjoyed it.

Delt31, no secret here honestly. Just bribed John with some cookies.

Sinestro ... ah! That was your hack he was talking about. Ha ha. Would have loved it to be included.
Thanks!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey, thanks for the kind words.

I filmed putting a few mods on that I wanted for the game (and talked about a couple adjustments). Hope to have one of them up this weekend.

Thanks guys! I truly appreciate it and am glad you enjoyed it. : )

If you are interested ... I put up a couple of "MOD" videos (recently uploaded part 2 today). I got the topper, side-rails, and a handful of others over the two parts. Thanks!

PART 1

PART 2

Hey, my pleasure ! Thanks for watching.

I hope to have some Aerosmith vids next (including box opening, mods, and hopefully a phone interview with John Borg)
