GODZILLA Pinball (2021)

[jeffradon2000]

congrats on your Godzilla score. Maybe someday I'll play it again and get 90 million or something.

I know how you feel when only 20 people came to see Holy Pinto, but I wouldn't exactly call that the best live band. Dusk is really great, I keep being surprised how much this show was right up my alley but I suppose it has to do with them all being punks back in the day and all the cussing they probably did is why you like them so much. I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't fighting the sound board the whole time and the 5 part harmony still didn't sound as great as it should've.

Maybe we should just let the hardcore kids wreck the whole venue for a while until they get bored and cancel each other, then we just build new record bins out of the stage scraps and throw in more pinballs and call it a day.

Since when did this game get a RUMBLE-PACK ??

I just set my new high score on GODZILLA (590 million). 488 million on the first ball.

I slept on the COUCH inside of DUMB RECORDS after a LATE NIGHT last night after the DUSK and TIM BUCHANAN show. Some of us went to TRUCK STOP last night and maybe for the first time ever I got one of the TRUCK STOP DESSERTS on the display as you walk in. I had to do it after AMOS PITSCH of DUSK and up there as like my top 3 song writers of all time ordered the CHERRY CHEESECAKE, and then 3 more of us said F*CK IT, WE ARE GETTING THE CHERRY CHEESECAKE TOO. It was REAL good and it hit the spot. It was after 1am by the time we got outta there. There were 11 people staying in my apartment, and I offered up my bed and bedroom and slept in my own store. LUKE MCNEIL of HOSPITAL JOB also offered up his place for the bands to stay, but I dunno it might have been easier for them to all just stay together at my place. Maybe I feel bad for not planning ahead to make sure they had a space with more room to crash. But hey I thought I did a good job of completely cleaning out my RECORD ROOM yesterday, I did have the carpet completely cleared off for the first time since I have lived there pretty much.

So I slept in the store and woke up at around 8am (I slept good and I would do it AGAIN). I wasn't sure what to do with myself when I woke up so I turned on the arcade and played GODZILLA. That is when I set this score.

Something else I realized with this game and STERN INSIDER CONNECT. Maybe this tactic is cheating, but when I started the game I was too lazy to log in and didn't. But then after the first ball I had 488 million, which is already higher than any high score I ever had, I tried logging in, and it let me! Plus it plugged in a bunch of achievements. So no need to log in to Stern Insider Connected in the future until I KNOW that it is a good game and I am on my second or third ball!!

DUSK is the best live band to have ever played on our stage in our shitty l*ttle record store in our sh*tty little town. The turnout for the show was OKAY, but WAY more people should have been there to see a band that is that good. I am not completely disappointed in the show and love you all, but that is the last show I will ever have booked. We don't deserve them to come back, or that many good bands. But I'll travel to St. Louis or Chicago to see that band any day.

- me p much talking to myself on the pinball forum in the morning in my record store after I just woke up and set a pinball high score

I'm sorry I missed the Dusk show I had the plague. And I get it. I wish more people would come to stuff too.

There is still much of GODZILLA PINBALL for me to understand.

I see that the original link to the OFFICIAL STERN GODZILLA RULEBOOK that I originally posted on page 2 of this thread is down. Wow that is such a shame, I can only find rules that someone else posted online without the graphics.

Stern, get it together. The rulebook for GODZILLA has gone missing, and you have not announced a new pinball in like a whole year. Is this how it is now? We only get one new pinball a year? If that is the case it will be 2025 by the time they announce Ozzy Osbourne pinball and he will be dead.

Last night I played this game once and I activated the OXYGEN DESTROYER for the first time. I still do not fully understand what this is.

On the last ball of a game, the right outlane lights for Oxygen Destroyer. This is a one-time only ball save where in order to defuse the destroyer (and save your ball), the ball must be shot all the way through the building within 12 seconds. If time runs out, the ball drains and the game ends. This will collect anything else that was lit at the building shot.

Evan Brown is over here showing me how he added his STERN INSIDER CONNECTED QR CODE to his "APPLE WALLET"
(what, new feature that they just implemented this week?) (so you don't have to log in every time)?

Two nights ago I watched GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA (1992), not to be confused with MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA (1964), which was maybe the first Godzilla movie I watched from that era of Kaiju flims.



By the way, both of those films listed above are free on youtube and I highly recommend them both. Kinda similar in some ways, but also interesting to see how the 60's Godzilla and 90's Godzilla / Mothras are handled. And then you fast forward another 30 years and here we are, (Mothra was shown in one of the newer Godzilla movies, but I don't even think they said her name or shown the tiny princesses. They need a 2023 Mothra movie).

This was my first time watching a Japanese 90's Godzilla film, and wow there is so much out there to see! I am itching to find the one that is Godzilla vs. Plant Monster that Zack put on that one flier.

Godzilla vs. Mothra was a fun watch, I loved the introduction to new badguy BATTRA. (it's like a Moth-Bat, you'll see).

Hot pro tip:

The last few times my HEAT RAY CHARGER has been blinking I have
kept both of my hands on the flippers to keep the ball alive and
have USED MY CHIN to hold the button down!

If you are a pro you can try this trick!

Wow, today I reached a milestone for this game and any game of pinball I have played:
6 different multiballs in one game!

Lemme breakit down:
- Mechagodzilla Multiball
- Godzilla Multiball
- Mechagodzilla Multiball AGAIN!!!
- Bridge Attack Multiball
- Tank Attack Multiball
- VICTORY MULTIBALL!??

*Okay, "Victory Multiball" happened when I thought I was working on my SECOND GODZILLA MULTIBALL, but after I locked the second ball, the building raised all the way up and the ball that went into the building when all loopty-down all the ramps and the guy was like "HERE COMES MONSTER ZERO" and I had to hit all of the flashing shots and the ball save was on for a while, and there were two balls going. I think this was different than a tier 2 battle? Because then I started another battle afterwards and it was a tier 1.

It was quite the amazing game, sadly my score was only 350,000 no where near my highest. but I thought I got the farthest on the game in other ways.

[brain galacki]

I increased my high score 9 days ago to:
678,817,120
(now currently 90th place on pinside)
I tell you what though, I was doing GREAT and on MONSTER ZERO during my last ball but I lost because of "TILT" when I was not tilting at all!!! Gahh!!!

also I see our guy AIR (who just might be lurking the forums... is back for the first time in a while
I was working in the clubhouse while he was playing and I heard some sounds coming from out of that machine that I have certainly never heard before...
..it was like "Godzilla is underground attacking the mole monster"!

[brain galacki]

I watched the original Godzilla movie (1954) earlier this week for the first time ever...
(it's free with ads on Youtube) also streaming on HBO Max but my account kept freezing for no reason >:-(

I liked it

It was different than the other Godzilla movies that I have watched because:
- it was in the 1950's and black and white
- Godzilla was a new thing in this movie instead of all the other movies where they are like "ope Godzilla woke up and came out of the water again..."
- except the old man that was telling the ye old tale of godzilla and how they used to sacrafice young girls to the Godzilla (wtf?)
- you know what I don't think the other Godzilla movies mention anything about the monster eating people
- the score of course in these movies are great but I feel like in the original it is especially great.
(spoilers below)
- I did not realize how much of a role the OXYGEN DETROYER played in the original... which is also a part of the game on the third ball where you have the chance to redeem yourself if the ball goes in the right outlane on the pinball...
- Godzilla actually DIES in this movie... like we are talking we see his skeleton at the botom of the ocean?? wtf? and instead of him just going back into the ocean and leaving room for more sequels they just say "are there more Godzillas somewhere in the ocean?"

The other day some guy was telling me
"Just so you know the right sling on Godzilla isn't registering"
and I was like
"what the h*ll is a "sling", guy?"
and he was like
"the triangular part that slings the ball when you hit it above the flippers"
and I was like
"oh... I'll take a look at it I guess"
and I was also like "whatever, guy"


but then I went back there and played a game and sure enough
the right "sling" does not work
had all the multi-balls going and everything
the end

[jeffradon2000]

I had adjusted the sling because it was overactive, now of course it's underactive I guess.

I think you need to sit down with a pinball glossary or something if you're going to be around the biggest pinball arcade in Springfield all the time.

[brain galacki]

I watched the 1966 original turtle knock off of Godzilla, GAMERA last night



There are over 30 of these movies too so I have to watch them all now.

[brain galacki]

I continue to play this game and I again confirm that the right sling does not do anything



also, can you spot the stuck pinball??

[jeffradon2000]

just looks like mechagodzilla has a tumor or something

I'm glad you called it the "right sling", getting there
