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

Hermosa! Gracias por el trabajo!

 

Can someone share the rom please?

Hola tengo el mismo problema pero no encuentro la rom, la puedes compartir?

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:

Again, thank you seems like so little, for you have given so much to this hobby!

It was a little challenging to get  "u5_cf.bin" & "u4_ce.bin".    A search brought me here where i was looking for genie.zip

I ended up finding an old mame rom set I had and searched all zips using winrar find feature to search for them.  I ended up finding them in one of the zips.  Then I included them in the genie.zip i had which was renamed from a geniep.zip i found somewhere else.

I guess in cases like this it's good to have an old mame rom set sitting around from years past!

Table works now.

hola soy muy nuevo en esto, doy las gracias por hacer el trabajo duro y nosostros disfrutar de esto que es una pasion, solo tengo una duda y es que no tienen directb2s esto se puede encontrar en alguna parte o algo estoy haciendo mal que no la tenga? escontre una rom de mame en la web y me funciono perfecto, pero solo falta directb2s si me ayuda por favor gracias
