Given all the talk of new pins (WoZ, Metallica, AC/DE), I thought I'd share a video of my "new to me" pin... Twilight Zone!

This is an awesome game. Quite impressive that it's 20 years old!

I've been posting some of the fixes/etc. I've done to this machine over the past couple of weeks. I've documented it more thoroughly here

I took this video tonight showing how well the game is playing. It's 720p, so you should get good quality when viewing it in a larger window. BTW, when I say "Great gameplay!" I meant that Twilight Zone has great gameplay... Not that I'm good at it yet.

IMHO, you cannot go wrong with Twilight Zone! Enjoy...

You look PDG to me. Nice 2 screen vid too.

Excellent! Your TZ plays like mine--fast! Thanks for the pinball pr0n.

Also, and I hope I don't offend, but I think your auto launcher needs to be tightened up or aimed a tiny bit more to the right. At 3:25, the first ball is caught by the lock area, and the last two balls hit the left side of the entry ramp, so none of them make it all the way around the outside. You may just need to do the washer trick. Edit: Or it could be that the entry flap before the ramp is a little too tight... Anyhow, don't mean to derail. Looks really great

Congrats on the TZ! I noticed your Yellow Bumper cap is in the wrong spot! It should be the bottom one, matching what is on the power playfield

Ask and you shall receive

It's actually from 2009...

Thanks. Good catch... will fix!

I played around with getting that adjusted and had no luck. I did some research and found it was a common problem, but I didn't come across the solution you referenced. I'll try that out. Thanks!

Beginners luck, maybe? This was my first video using PIP... I filmed the gameplay with my regular camera and used a little gorilla stand (you can see the bottom of it on the upper left side of the cabinet) holding a smartphone aimed at the DMD.

Quoted from ronlisa:

TZ is a great game!

Completely agree. It should get constant and obsessive hype like all the new releases

Quoted from mario_1_up:

Indy lost his buddy (STTNG), but TZ is his new neighbor.

I'm very happy with how it's turning out. I'm in the gameplay test phase... Put the glass on and play lots of games to see what "smaller" or less common things need fixing. Pinsiders above have pointed out a couple of good ones to work on...

Quoted from ninjadoug:

[Link to Tutorial] Great gameplay

I'll take a look!

Kevinleedrum, ugh! day is pretty much over and I didn't get time to try out the washer trick... Maybe tomorrow. If it works, do I need a new video?

I assume you'll be getting LITZ in the next one... on the first take.

Wow thanks Altan love your camera work..

#14 10 years ago

Nice vid. Thanks for sharing.
Now you just need to start holding up the left mini flipper when you shoot at the camera shot.
Makes the shot twice as easy.

#15 10 years ago

Still the best pin ever created. No doubt about it! Great video. Thanks

Wow! So simple... never realized that. Great tip.
