Xenon Pinball is Exciting

[mildflame]

ok, i accidently came across this video on youtube, It explains that a sound chip can only hold 5 seconds of sound and that Xenon was the first pinball to have female Voice. anyway I thought it was interesting so give it a watch:

"Exciting" - Yes - and the artwork is exceptionally brilliant. I LOVE the backglass more than the gameplay. Without the art package, it is still and awesome machine. I found one overseas and everything is in great condition except the playfield. so I bought a CPR playfield and it will be restored in the next future.

These are getting hard to find in good condition. Great video BTW

you should look at this in perspective
Gorgar was the first machine to use speech, the first time I saw it even had a sign attached proclaiming ‘GORGAR, the world’s first talking pinball’

You should also know that this was before people had PCs at home (that came with the VIC 20 in 1980)
There would have been no other piece of consumer electronics that was capable of speech at that time
EDIT
After consulting Wikipedia there was a talking calculator and a machine called a Speak and spell

Video games did not get speech until 1980 (Berzerk)

Played a really nice example a few weeks ago with what looked like a new playfield. Really enjoyed playing it and the artwork is fantastic, especially on the backglass.

I also love the backglass on this pin but unfortunately that is it for this machine imo.

What's a "final lineup" - do you mean there is an "end date", where you stop collecting.. No one told me that when I started..
