In Depth With Pinball Series Tales From The Crypt Pt3 Game Play

In this video, we play the Tales From The Crypt Pinball Machine By Data East



In Depth With Pinball Series is a series of videos aimed at educating, exploring, examining and demonstrating every aspect of the pinball machine being examined. Each series of videos comes in three parts or three separate videos. The first video will strictly detail and show cabinet artwork, playfield artwork, backbox artwork, inside the cabinet, under the playfield and even inside the back box. The purpose of this video will be to show every aspect of the game regarding looks and cosmetics and discuss some of the highlights, or quirks of the artwork.

The second video will dive into the owners manual as I will read and discuss the rule sets and scoring. This gives a game designer and developer aspect to what makes the game tick, what gives big points and how to achieve certain goals with the game. First part of this video will be me reading out of the manual showing it page for page (only for the rules and modes). The second half of this video will be me actually demonstrating on the game with the glass off so you can better understand it and see and hear the game as we work through the modes together.

The third video will be a game play video only. No lecture, just watch me play the game. This will give the viewer a chance to discover how certain shots are made and also how bad I really suck at pinball :)


This video series is dedicated to preserving the game of pinball, educating others who may not be into pinball but would like to see what it is about, or just for entertainment purposes. No copyright infringement is intended as these videos are for educational/entertainment use only.
