Based on the Bally table from 1984.
 
The playfield and the layout of the table is based on the flyer, and it should be as close to the original as I could make.
The graphics are mostly from the pictures at IPDB.
 
Greetings Scorpion, and thanks for suggesting this table. It has been great fun to build it.
 
Thanks kiwi for the swinging target.

  • - New playfield mesh to avoid the ball getting stuck on top of the flippers.

Great table and superb work. I like those early 80s tables :) Thank you very much :tup:

Thanks!

Amazing, thank you very much for uploading.

Y aquí vamos de nuevo. Fui a agradecer la otra tabla que estuve jugando anoche y otra vez es tuya. No tengo palabras para agradecer tanto trabajo y lo bien hecho que está. GRACIAS JP!!!!

Another awesome table. Runs just fine on it's own, but dumps back to the front end in PinballX.  I'm using VPX10.7 exclusively.  Anyone else having this problem?

 

Ack, nevermind.   There was a space in the name of the backglass that wasn't in the table name.  Looked at it 20 times and didn't see it.

Thank you Mr. Salas!  The memories are flooding back. 

 

I spent many hours keeping this table maintained to gobble quarters back in the 80s.  The center, moving target is a high repair/replace part.  I recall attempting to super-glue the plastic target/disk after it broke apart but that did not hold up for too long.  I ended melting a shirt button onto the post until the replacement arrived.  The arcade owner just shook his head in disbelief that I went through the effort.  The exercise was a little self-serving since it was one of my favorite tables to play when there were not a ton of patrons needing my help.

I really would like to play this table. I am having some trouble finding the correct ROM.  I am fairly new to VP-probably just me with something bonehead!

Thank you for any info.
