This is my first full game video with direct audio. It's kinda weird
not hearing the coils and metal clacking, but I think it's a good
trade off. I plan on recording more like this.

I really really like it! I wish more people would do it that way. You
really get a great idea of how the game plays and sounds.

How did you go about doing this? Curious!

Very nicely done! I don't know I kind of miss all that "clacking" sound.
:-)

When you shoot for the Camera shot, from the upper right flipper, hold the
left flippers up. It helps get that flipper up out of the way.

Anyways...nice job! What's next? AFM?

Mind if I ask how did you did it?

I'm using an old line level converter from my car audio days. The
camera is a Kodak Zi8 which is similar to a Flip, but it has external
mic input. I'm tapping into the sub connection and from there it goes
to the converter, and then a few adapters till it gets input into the
camera. A few gain adjustments are needed to get the level right on
each game. I'd like to get a better game of TZ recorded, and I'll be
doing AFM next.

Great job. It makes me wish pins had a headphone jack on them.

Here is a cheap one that would work. Mine is like 15 years old I have
no idea where I got it from.

I tried that for awhile on a couple machines. Not so great. Kind of
distracting. Scores went down, too. Ended up going back to the old way.
