I enjoyed the Pac-Man video. It was really cool to see them making the games. The opening of the show brought back a wave of nostalgia with the music and graphics. I miss local TV.
Quoted from jeffc:Will you be posting them here for the non-facebookers?
Finding some really cool stuff combing threw old TV news archives! The name of the Facebook group is "It's Pinball Baby!" here is a direct link... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1529515124038768/
I can't take the credit, a local repairer posted it to his FB last night and I watched it straight away!
I remember watching an hour-long documentary on Discovery Channel around 1995, but I can't find it anywhere. I'd love to see that one again!
If anybody else has any suggestions please let me know, also if you remember a name of an specific arcade that may be helpful in finding more vintage footage thanks!

I think this is a 1990 Swedish Game Show. It's called Showmasters and the game within is called Super Flip. There's a contestant on the phone and the guest host tries to instruct the caller how to play. I think the game shown is being filmed backstage and someone is physically pressing the buttons. The game reminds me of a mirrored Gottlieb's Star Race but it doesn't quite line up. The contestant can win a Lights, Camera, Action if she scores enough points. Game starts at 3:30
The song is called Video Games but they keep dropping coins into a Bally coin door. Their are also some pins in the background.
Great interview between Bryant Gumbel, Roger Sharpe, and some dude from Philly. Gumbel was really getting into that game of Whirlwind. This might be the first instance of the overhead camera.

Man, I totally forgot this show on fX. I used to watch it at my Grandma's house during summer vacation. I didn't remember Tom Bergeron was on it. Neat look at the WMS factory while they were making WCS '94. Wow. A great interview with Steve Kordek in the second video. I was smiling so big at the end when the whole factory was waving goodbye.
Looks like Roger Sharpe finally got a haircut, Kaminkow is pimping Apollo 13, and Kmiec is signing playfields at Expo '95. I wish Kmiec would come to a show and sign my game.
I'd have to say out of all the footage so far, this documentary would be the coolest to watch if they ever make it!!!
ET seems to be a weird show to showcase pinball but they picked an opportune time to do it. Right before the release of Addams Family.

The Sharpe boys continuing their Dad's tradition of being on an ABC morning show. Of course they booed that girl! She wore a Patriots jersey to Indy!
