Revenge from Mars has to come apart. The ball lock diverter's rivets failed and the diverter won't come out without removing the first part of right ramp and the area that catches the ball after the jump ramp.
Edit: it's also going to get a good wash while I'm at it!

Had a charity #pinball tournament tonight in honor of a league member who died a few weeks back and my dear bride won first place!
Also people donated over a thousand dollars and with someone making a matching donation this is a hecking crazy amount to be donating to his family's request of donation.
This is what's been missing from your life. #pinball #arcade #bluetooth
Okay, how did this happen?!
Centaur's captive ball escaped its captivity.

I just watched a great video covering #Pinball #VideoGames up through the year 2000.
While not covering EVERY game the video does a great job of hitting the highlights of both good and bad releases.
Only briefly touching on Epic pinball there was no mention of the related Silverball which I loved dearly back in the day.
Its by no means a must play but it holds a special place in my heart.
What are some of your favorite video pinball games?

If you really must know, I'm like the Shohei Ohtani of getting the pinball stuck where I was never meant to go...
This is not a re-up. I stuck this pinball in the exact same spot on the exact same machine a month after the last one.

Installed "Space Cadet" yesterday on my virtual pinball machine. I like the music, the sound setting, the gameplay and the polished graphics.

@markwyner@mas.toIn 1976, Sesame Street had a segment in rotation called “Pinball Number Count.” The music is captivating, hopping between 4/4, 4/3, and 5/4 time signatures. And the animation is bursting with color and life. It has forever lived in my head.
Fun fact 1: the song counts to 12, but there were only 11 segments.
Fun fact 2: the vocals were provided by The Pointer Sisters.
If you really must know, I'm like the Nolan Ryan of getting the pinball stuck where it was never meant to go...
Xenon (Bally 1980).
Notable Features: Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (4), Slingshots (2), Kick-out holes (2), 4-bank drop targets (1), Mini-rollover buttons (4), Standup targets (2), Spinning target (1), 2-ball multiball.
Right ramp sends ball through elevated tube to left-side lane. Infinity lights behind backglass.
This is the first talking Bally game, using the AS-2518-56 sound board and the AS-2518-57 "Vocalizer" board instead of the "Squawk and Talk" system.
I recently posted a video of Stern's painted light bulbs and mentioned the bulb condoms Williams used. Naturally I was asked to show the condoms!
So here's the difference. Williams put these silicone filters over theirs to change the color. While I'm pretty hardcore Williams fan, I somehow always liked how the painted incandescent bulbs look like.
So, #pinball tournament last night and I started out the fourteen rounds of qualifying with four straight losses, finally getting a win on, if you can call it pinball, Baby Pac-Man.
Despite that appalling start I did end up with six wins and, had I ever been able to get a second flip on the ball on Labyrinth and Jaws, might have made it into the playoffs anyway.
(My dear bride *did* make it handily into the playoffs, and finished in fifth place, her best finish in one of these and a great boost to both her state women's ranking and her mood.)
Review for Pokémon Pinball on Game Boy Color.
Taken from Total Game Boy 4 (Color) - July 1999 (UK)
I feel that this review misses the ball here, as I enjoyed Pokémon Pinball a ton on the GBC.
Kinda with the Second Opinion writer did this review instead...

@BalooUriza Everything in this game's sound design is a chef's kiss. It also probably introduced Carlene Carter to several new generations.
