Prompted by a post from drothste12, a whole gang of VPers jumped in to get this table done.  STAT started it off with the initial build and coding of the gameplay and rules and figured out how to do a rotating ball shooter turret with great advice from the forum.  PinballShawn owns the real table and very helpfully provided measurements, gameplay rules, and videos of how it all works, table probably would not be done without all his info. I jumped in when STAT got to busy to finish it up and I resized the table and all it's parts and objects to correct size, and finished up the coding with added features.  Hauntfreaks took all my and STATs initial images and made them all much nicer (he has a way with things like that).
 
Basic idea of the gameplay is hit the balls to clear the rack.  A great part of the fun is you can't actually see the ball most of the time it's in play. The right flipper or the plunger button shoots the ball (real table has no plunger so just right flipper) as the turret rotates. Clearing the rack adds the listed bonus and give you another ball (well really the same one, but continues to play).  PinballShawn says the game is much better with 2 players as you can steal racks the other player doesn't complete.
 
There are a couple of gameplay options available by holding down the left flipper before starting a game (thanks to loserman76 and gnance for the idea).
 
directb2s file is included in the download.

I finally had a moment tonight and installed 10.1 on my cab. I'll load this up tomorrow and give it a run. Any chance of a media pack for it? Or just a PNG of the pf and bg?

Cheers BD and everyone else who worked on this.  Quite a unique table and very enjoyable.  :)

Thanks

Hi, have you tried the table with Visual Pinball version 10.8?

There is a lot of slowing down, jerking...

I Absolutely LOVE this game.  Had the pleasure of playing it at Past Times Arcade in Girard, OH, but sadly it was converted to a Pokemon theme.  So much fun, and keeps thit old mans hand/eye coordination (reflexes) sharp.

5 stars for the recreation, 1 star for this horrible table. Played and hated this as a kid, hate it now. Novelty piece of trash. Here are some EMs that are far more worthy:

River Boat 1964
Round Up 1971
Royal Flush 1957
World's Fair 1964
