If this table were called Nun-Tas-Tic I bet the Monk would have found it ages ago. It's been one of my fave Em's since I grabbed it years ago.

Hi,

I'll give my consent under certain conditions (GyRo knows it already).
But I can't speak for Pincode. Unfortunately I lost contact with her.

OMG, the release was really seven years ago...? How time flies.
Have a nice day!

Servus

Sorry for making my post into arguing guys. It doesn't matter to me where or when it was released first. I just made it VP9/B2s because my cab originally was a Fan-Tas-Tic cab. I first tried to revive it, but when searching the net for it I stumbled upon this site, FP and Hyperpin. Weighing the pro's and con's of restoring it and the possibility to play hundres of pins for +/_ the same amount of money the decission wasn't so difficult (being a pc technician ...). This is the first pin that I converted and will probably the last one because scripting isn't my thing. I play a lot with Photoshop but also there I'm not a wizard. I must say this table has a nice script tho and most of it isn't that difficult to understand. How do I request the original authors for permission to put it up here ? Are they still around ?

As said before, the playground needs to be redone for nice graphics on a FS, but it's do-able.

GyRo.



I can make redoing the play field graphics in hi-res my next project, if you can get permission from the original authors. I'd love to see a FS B2S version of this.


I am, therefore I run.

This thread is a good example of great VP8 tables that people overlook simply because it's not VP9. There are some amazing VP8 gems out there.

Bob is correct, I am here and I have been in touch with gy_ro and given him and tamoore my blessings with the conversion. I have finally found the PSDs of the plastics and am in the process of uploading them as I write this.
Bob is also correct in his assertion that my computer cannot handle FS or B2S pinball. I cannot even play some of the FP games such as 3Angels and Dead_Hunters by Blindmankind pinball.

Like the recently returned Stein I too am in no position to splurge on a faster computer. There is in essence nothing wrong with this one, it is that the software and associated payloads such as graphics and audio are getting more and more bloated.

By the way, The Fan-Tas-Tic is not a VP8 nor a VP7 table, we released it when VP 6 was all the rage. That's probably why it runs in VP9 too. As far as I remember VP7 & 8 designed tables had problems in VP 9 or am I just imagining that?
