Based on the Bally table from 1980.      
Thanks to Carlos Guizzo for the images of the real table.
Playfield and plastics redrawn by me in full glorious 4k :)
 
This version 4 of the table needed some extra work :)
 
There are three player options at the top of script. You don't need to change them, but if you prefer a closer version to the real table then you may set those options to False.
The options are all set to True, and they are:
 
Const Digits7 = True       'set it to False if you prefer 6 digits as the original machine
Const FlipperPeg = True    'set it to False if you do not want the ball saver peg
Const FlippersDecor = True 'set it to False if you do not want decorations on the flippers
 
The rom names are:
"ngndshkb"  7 Digit ROM
"ngndshkr"  6 Digit ROM - original
 
And remember to press F6 to set the ROM options, at least you need the Match Feature and the Credits display visible.
 
Enjoy!

Ever since the very first release of VPX, I've been waiting for you to do this one!    A beautiful (as always ) JPSalas release.  A clear reminder of my childhood, this table - thank you very much indeed!
