Based on the Gottlieb table from 1978.      
Thanks to Scapino for sharing his resources of this table.
I redraw the playfield, but I kept a few original parts.
This table is dedicated to Playcade and StrageLeo72 (Jolo and Leo :) ), as they wanted a new version of this table :)

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 12.12.2024
  • - 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.
  • - Updated for VPX8 (adjusted reflections, equirectangular ball, linked flashers to lights, incandescent lights)
  • - Updated physics to my Rev3. Including physics materials, flipper code and slingshot shapes.
  • - Updated LUT images and display system, 10 darker shades and 10 warmer shades.
  • - some graphical changes (playfield mesh with holes, metal wall guides, lights warmer)
  • - added a screenshot for scutters file explorer handler
  • 4.0.0 Updated 20.9.2022
  • - Updated to my VPX7 physics
  • - cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table
  • - Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL). Including GI brightness adjustment. Use the LUT changer together with the day/night slider to give the table the level of darkness you prefer.
  • - Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound, as people seem to like those kind of sounds better.
  • - Changed the Environment image to enhance a little the object shadows.
  • - Some small small script updates, like the Rolling sound and PlaySoundAt routines.
  • - Made the light inserts warmer.
  • - Added SSF sound commands.
  • 1.0.0 Released 17.05.2018

@playcade: ok, has no slingshots. Was my mistake.

 

But the DOF Bumper didn´t work - and this is a real bumper i think =)

 

To get this bumper to work with DOF u need to change script line 236 from

 

 

Sub Bumper1_Hit:vpmTimer.PulseSw 11:PlaySound SoundFX("fx_bumper", DOFContactors), 0, 1, 0:End Sub

 

TO THIS

 

Sub Bumper1_Hit:Playsound SoundFXDOF("fx_bumper",104,DOFPulse,DOFContactors):End Sub

 

 

Greedings, Kai

Excellent info! The whole game is documented here! Thanks!

I dont use DOF in my cab, but it is a big community!

Regards

I have no Idea what i make wrong. I follow the Hint of Playcade with the script editing but i still can play only with 3 Balls.

can anyone share this rom with me.  It is no longer on this site and cannot find anywhere

GREAT redraw for this table JP! Such professional quality! This is one of my favorite tables from the Arcade Days, and I was so looking forward to playing it ...

 

Unfortunately, I can't get the game to start.

 

I saw the notes previously regarding the "Add Coin" using 5, and have added that to the script. I get coin sounds using 3, 4 and 5 keys. 

 

But key 1 won't start the game. The plunger key (Enter/Return) moves the plunger, but the game won't start. 

 

Please advise. Thanks!

 

Happy New Year! 

 

*** UPDATE ***

 

I've discovered an issue with the ROM I'm using. PinMAME test of the "countdwn" ROM shows that there are a couple files missing, "u5_cf.bin" & "u4_ce.bin". I'll have to look around to see if I can find another ROM file. 

 

*** RESOLVED ***

 

Yes, that's better! I found another "countdwn" ROM in my archives. The game is fully functional now. 

 

* FABULOUS! * recreation! It's giving me many flashbacks to playing this table in my Arcade Days! Thanks again for yet another quality VPin, JP!  :winetoast:

Hello: I have the exact same situation you described, but unlucky to find the rom. Do you mind telling me where can I find a similar rom?
