Casual gameplay walkthrough of Alien Ripley Edition reveals complex rules and high difficulty.
Is this the worst pinball gameplay video on YouTube? It just might be! 😂 In this video, I play the 2023 Alien Ripley Edition by Pinball Brothers for the very first time. With absolutely no experience on the game, I jump in for 5–6 games... and let's just say things don't exactly go according to plan. Expect plenty of missed shots, short ball times, questionable decisions, and more drains than I'd like to admit. If you're looking for world-class gameplay, you've definitely come to the wrong place! 😆 Even though my skills leave a lot to be desired, the Alien Ripley Edition is an incredible machine, and it was a blast getting my first taste of this modern sci-fi pinball experience. Have you played Alien by Pinball Brothers? Let me know your thoughts in the comments—and feel free to roast my gameplay while you're at it!

In this episode, Lawrence and Dean take on one of their toughest pinball matchups yet, pitting Stern's Ghostbusters (2016) against Chicago Gaming Company's Pulp Fiction (2023). One machine captures the magic of childhood, the other channels the cool factor of cult cinema—but which one ultimately comes out on top? The hosts compare theme integration, gameplay philosophy, artwork, sound, challenge, and staying power while sharing stories about what makes both games modern classics. Before the showdown, they cover the latest in arcade and pinball news, including the newly announced Arcade1Up Sonic cabinet, rumors surrounding upcoming pinball releases, and impressions from the grand opening of Clever Unicorn Pinball Arcade, a new destination that's helping keep Santa Cruz's pinball scene thriving. Whether you're a fan of ghosts, gangsters, or just great pinball conversation, this episode delivers plenty of laughs, nostalgia, and spirited debate—without making the winner an easy call.
