Hit the left standups to keep the left outlane kicker (Catapult) enabled
Potion item activates the SECRET DOOR (left loop) and SKULL mode
Megamode starts 2 ball multi-ball

Must be played in the dark! Well not really, but you should
 
This table must be played with Physmod5.exe and download newer version of vpinmame if you have issues with mystcasa rom
Note: If you have no background music, try playing table with mystcast ROM and then switch back to mystcasa ROM

Thanks Gtxjoe a great table.

[BobAlbright]

   Very nice. Thanks GTX
 
Edit.  I made the first post after a couple games. After that i played the table for over an hour. Long enough to start to get a feel for the table. Must say I REALLY like this table. And it's one I had never heard of. Thanks again

PS. Deserves a better db2s backglass

1.1 update

 

Fix for ball stuck issue on center ramp. (for some users)

Made right ramp a little more forgiving

Adjusted playfield friction from .03 to .07.

Changed flipper strength to 2000

Shifted some of the flashers location

Adjusted ball drop sounds

This table is very cool! Excellent job gtxjoe!

 

Question for everyone who's got it loaded and has played. . . . Is the volume very low for anyone else? It's all the way up by pressing the 9 key, but it's still very low. If I crank my pc cab speakers all the way it sounds fine, but then all of my other tables are way too loud. Just wondering if it's something with my setup?

 

Got it. . . the volume was not up all the way on my pm5 exe.

 

Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed the left and right nudge keys are reversed?  Apart from that, this is a beautiful looking game, and plays really nice too.

 

Thanks.

This is an awesome table. I played it in the dark and must say it really look fantastic, takes on another dimension. Love the PM5 physics as well. Thanks gtxjoe!

If the floor beneath you would suddenly move to the right you would fall on the left cheek of your butt.

You'd also have bigger problems to deal with than nudging in virtual pinball

Really a GREAT table. A very special atmosphere.

 

It would be even better without PM5 it would be nice if there would also be an "normal VP" version.

 

Thanks gtxjoe !

Thanks gtxjoe !

you can try playing without pm5 fiddle about with settings

try gravity constant 1,6
contact friction 0,0038
scater angle 0,5
damping 55

flippers
speed 0,5
strenght 0,7
elasticity 0,55
scater 0,5

just fiddle around a bit

Fact: it could not possibly be better without pm5

Wtf how would this be better? You must have never played a real pinball machine before if you think the regular vp flippers are even close to ok.

For the (missing) Secret Path, only edit "Rubber1" as in Image below,
then the Ball could go return into shooter lane, and start an Extra Mission - or whatever

Thanks stat.
Will have to try this. It's one of my favourite tables

[Ben Logan]

The physics set on this table is in my top three faves (including VP10 tables). So realistic.

[freneticamnesic]

Completely forgot about the hidden path mod. Nice
