Rock-ola 1930s hunting bagatelle flipperless

Some history of the table: Released in July 1935 by Rock-Ola. It’s claimed in “Encyclopedia of Pinball Vol. 2” that this is the first pinball table with synthesized sounds. In this table, hitting the skill shot (AKA the trigger hole) activates a gunshot sound. (I pulled the actual audio of a table from a YouTube video, so you’ll hear approximately what people experiencing the first pinball sounds heard over 80 years ago).
Some background on the project: I’ve worked on this table on and off (mostly off) for ~2 years. Like basically all of my tables, I saw a video of one on YouTube and I decided to take a crack at recreating it. The real thing is pretty basic by modern standards, and that’s also heightened by my very rudimentary VP skills. Sure, I wish the table lighting was better and I wish the backglass was more realistic looking (or at least also had better lighting) and the gates above the cannon have a very basic animation that would be improved and on and on. But the game should function more or less as intended and it’s better than having no table at all, so I think it’s time to just go ahead and share it.
If you notice any unreported issues, go ahead and mention them in the support thread. If you have any potential improvements you’re ready to offer or solutions to issues that pop up in the thread, please get in touch. Otherwise, I hope you all enjoy the table!

Some notes about controls and such:
1 – Start Game
Right Flipper or Right Magna Save – Lift a ball into the shooter lane
Plunger – Shoot the ball
The game was mostly built in VPX 10.6, but when I tested it on a cabinet I made a couple of final tweaks in 10.7, so that’s what I’d recommend using.

Included in the download:
- The table
- Backglass [NOTE: There is an intentional black space above the image. The backglass might appear to not fill up your screen, but that is intentional. This was my way of preventing the backglass from being stretched out of its original proportions.]
- Two Tarcisio style wheels
- A Non-Tarcisio style wheel

Thanks for this, love seeing long ago history being recreated.
It's a really interesting table of this era ; it have a strong theme, some novelty with the shooter and metallic rails at the bottom part of the table, and is filled with objectives from quite medium to extreme hardcore. ^c^
I also like the blue balls, it change from metallic ones.
And everything is top notch, as always with you.
So it become easily one of my favorite table of this era now, a great pleasure to play and quite a challenge.
Was happy to see a new table from you, as you're the only one who makes those old tables in such good quality. Thanks !
I've been kind of obsessed with these real old tables and flipperless tables and appreciate getting some updated to VPX. So thank you for your work and I'll keep an eye out for more.
Thanks so much for this. Count me as another fan of really old tables. I know they don't have the flash of modern tables, but it's so much fun to be able to experience this kind of history. Is there a word for nostalgia for something you didn't live through the first time? Oh, I guess there is: Anemoia.
Really cool to see something this old being recreated. Even if it’s simple compared to modern tables, there’s something fun about experiencing how pinball started. Aviator
