Jack*Bot VP91x 1.1.1



Version: 1.1.1

Description:
Based on the Williams table, Jack*Bot, from 1995.
I guess this table don't need a very long introduction. But if you need a long explanation of the rules I have included a nice htnl file full with links which is a very nice read.

Thanks to MacFly for suggesting this table and for the graphics he made, like the playfield, backdrop, apron and the flyers (included in the zip). I guess this is his favorite table . I also would like to thank to StrangeLeo for testing the table.

As always the table is angle independent, so you may change the view as you like. If you don't like the DMD on top then just delete it and adjust the Xscale, Yscale and any other parameter you may want on the backdrop properties page of the editor.

Wow!! Thanks JP!!


Best Regards,
Todd.

Nice. Once again, standard JP quality release. And somehow, that backdrop is seriously giving me a Sixtine Chapel vibe.

Thanks.

The McD

Thanks for this awesome release, I had never played this table.
The table looks really sharp and have nice sound(german sounds too) and is soooo fast.
Sorry JP, your table is so new but on ball founds between the multiball a hiding-place.

Thanks again for another one JP! Top notch! (as if I could expect any different from you)

Thanks a lot JP !!!

Much appreciated.

Cheers,



EDIT:

JP you are an 'evil' man ...



I cannot stop playing this magnificent table !!!



I enjoy it immensely.



I feel 'ashamed' to be able to play for free ...

BEAUTIFUL work JP! Downloading now!

This plays really snappy and looks great too. It is also well optimized and runs good on my mid level system even during multi ball. Thanks for yet another fantastic recreation JP!

We're not worth it! We're not worth it!

I forgot that JP shares his tables and rom in his website. Feel free to remove this post please...

Awesome recreation!
I thought I had my machine waxed up and playing fast but this is super fast.
Sometimes the quickness of the ball freaks out the rom if it goes over the mini playfield too fast.

Plays really close to the real deal, in fact in some ways much better.
I wish my real life ball-locks worked as well as the VP ones... stupid sample game and its bounce outs.
I keep trying to fix it but never can seem to get it perfect. Any ideas out there?

Some general thoughts about Jackbot rules after playing many many games:

Buy ins should be disabled.
Wish you could light the chest lamps via the side targets for the first opening.
Solar Jets timer is a bit quick compared to the double or nothing, or even Pinbot's energy transfer
Hurry up points seem too low.
Mega ramp points seem too low.
During casino run you should not loose the bank with a timeout because there are already too frequent bombs.
Mega visor is the true wizard mode.

Does anyone know what the feature adjustment for casino run length does(A2. 31)?
It has easy, medium, and hard, but the timer is always at 45 sec regardless of setting. Nothing in the manual on this one.

Thanks, nice table!!!

The extra slingshots (to the left of the game saucer lights, below the jet bumpers, and below the drop targets) seem to be part of what makes the table play so fast.

No criticism is intended in any my posts, only my observations. All of JP's tables are works of art.

Fantastic as always!

Tip for windows 7 users: This table only plays fine on my laptop with classic windows theme, deactivate aero.

looks great, Amazing work for a very good table, great gameplay
thanks JP

Thanks for your comments!

Thanks bolt, there is a missing peg there I'll that this evening.

JP

Wow one of my favorites, thanks. I request a bride of pinbot someday also

You're the man JP, I love this table. *-Bot is my favorite set of tables, Pin, Bride and Jack. Really nice work man.

Thanks JP,

Table plays sharp.

Thanks for another awesome release JP. From billiards, right into cards. You know the themes that were big throughout pinballs long history.

Table plays quick and looks sharp in every detail.
