Based on the Stern table from 1980.

Another build from scratch table, based of course on my VP9 table. The graphics are the same as the ones in the VP9 table, with only minor changes. But I made a new backdrop image for the desktop version, with bigger numbers.
The playfield was enhanced by Hauntfreaks.
 
Thanks arngrim for the DOF version (which also works fine even if you don't have DOF)
 

What's New in Version 6.0.0 (See full changelog)

  • 6.0.0 Updated September 2025
  • - Moved LUT to User Options (F12)
  • - Added some extra options to the User Options (F12)
  • - Updated physics to my latest rev 4.3.1. mostly bouncier rubbers and harder flippers.
  • 5.5.0 Updated 11.12.2024
  • - New playfield mesh to avoid the ball getting stuck on top of the flippers.
  • - Fixed my ball spin control, which were too aggressive, and it killed the ball's acceleration, making the ball too slow, getting stuck on ramps, and also being unable to climb the ramps on many tables.
  • 5.0.0 Updated xx.xx.2024
  • - Updated for VPX8 (adjusted reflections, equirectangular ball, linked flashers to lights, incandescent lights)

Excellent work, but how can I chance the 3 balls game into a 5 balls game one?

Play fine on Desktop mode.
 
But the background seemed a little too empty to me.
So to make it more punchy, respecting the creator's work,

I used  his backdrop to created an alternative one :
