Beat The Clock (Bally 1985)
I started on this in 2021 and never finished. I released version 1.0 on 5/9/2023. This started out as a VP9 to VPX conversion WIP posted by goldchicco back in 2021 (dboyrecords VP9 table). So this is not technically a ground up build. At some point in time...it will be. But I have a lot of other fun stuff going on. I've added multiple additions to the script. All of the images were replaced. I redid the rubbers, walls, lighting, and just about everything. My next revision of this table will probably be a full rebuild.
Table include blue production plastics and black prototype plastics. In the script is the option to change this. Blue is now the default.
The zip file contains the table, a wheel image I created (IMO is awesome!), some screenshots, and a B2S file. The B2S file was created by Kellogs. Thanks goes to him for that.
This table would not have ever gotten started with out goldchicco's VPX conversion WIP and MarieDStLouis's (MeDiSt) playfield re-draw that she posted on the old vpinball site before it was shutdown.
Credits also goes out to the following:
GOLDCHICCO - VP9 to VPX conversion WiP
JPSALAS - Rolling Ball, LUT Selection, and VPX7 Rev2 Material Physics
JLOULOULOU - Flipper Tricks
ROTHBAUERW - Ball dropping sounds
NINUZZU - Flipper and Ball Shadows
DBOYRECORDS - VP9 Table
DESTRUCK - ROM, VP8, and VP9 Tables
As well as the entire VP community. I am sure there is something in this table that someone, not mentioned above, in the community developed or created.

Screenshots
Hi Randy823...are you using a 2 screen setup or 3 screen? The included B2S is really designed for three screen with the scoring on the third display (aka DMD). To get the look right you have to have your ScreenRes.txt file configured correctly. There are 2 screen B2S's out there that are more like what was with the actual machine. When I did my intial search I couldn't find any other B2S. Now that I am not looking I found two different variations. Go figure.
Wow! Another "timed" table not to be missed! Don't look for "Ball in Play" because it's timed. Fun to play. Great addition to VPX! Thanks.
jino0372 yes thanks Im using 2 screen...So I got the 2 screen b2s.......thanks
Thank you very much nice table!
Thanks a lot for the table!

I do prefer the blues. Thank you for adding this option!
Oh wow !! I have been wanting this game to be worked on for ages now. Its one of my up there games.
THANK YOU !!!
Hey I did notice that while the backscreen shows, the scores do not.
Is that an easy fix for you? Otherwise I can give you a working backscreen for it that you can swap your image into. Let me know.
Great work !!!
EDIT: I notice that the ball never goes near the top A and B lanes. It used to on the older version. Not sure what has happened there.
The directb2s does not show the score
Anyone else having this problem?
Yes

To get the look right you have to have your ScreenRes.txt file configured correctly. So if you have 3 screens then your ScreenRes.txt file is not setup correctly. If you have 2 screens then I suggest getting a 2 screen B2S. There are several 2 screen B2S's available.
On the A-B shots. I hit them all of the time. It's worth noting that I did not just change the image files and call it a day. Everything on the playfield was stripped off and re-done to match the original blackline for the playfield.
