Thanks for this blowing recreation Master JP.

[warlord]

I love tales from early 80's, and this looks fantastic

[faralos]

I'm speechless! What a beautiful table! I can't wait to play it, once I get off of here! Great job, but you always do great stuff...!

[Satch]

JP, thank you for all those GOLDEN OLDIES you've recreated!

I've just noticed that on the left lane the bonus multiplier shows 2x 2x 5x instead of 2x 3x 5x

Thank you JP! Again a wonderful table. Now we only hope that the speech sound will improve, it must be in the VP system right? So many tables around that period need an update of the speech samples..anyone knows if it's been working on?

[jpsalas]

Yes, I also saw the typo on the light text. I'll make a revision

About the speech: I know the vpinmame team is working uptating it, adding support for new pinballs and fixing older code. But I don't know if these Bally tables are being updated.

[MDG79]

The emulation of the speechchip used in Medusa and other Squawk and Talk tables (TMS5200) has been fairly improved in the original MAME core since version 0.138u1.
Hopefully they will insert the proper LPC-tables (which are still broken in VpinMAME) in the PinMAME core. It sounds much better now in MAME

great table, thanks jpsalas

[tguittar]

Love the table. I use to play this all the time years ago.

[jpsalas]

I have updated the table to 1.1:

Update 1.1
- Fixed typo in text light
- Changed nudge system to one used before. Using two keys, on for the light nudge and one for a stronger nudge. When the "analog" nudge is fully debugged and tested then I'll add it to my tables.

Thanks for the update.

[Shooby Doo]

Thanks for the update JP. I played this for a long time yesterday.

Speaking of "TYPOS".
Looking at the "Bally" Apron it says,
EXTRA
FLIPPER
BUTTOM
ACTIVATES SHIELD POST

Looked up the definition for "BUTTOM"

1. Ones butt, or bottom. More polite than butt, but more rude than bottom. (I fell on my buttom and now it hurts.)
2. An effing idiot or jerk. More mature than saying butt head. (Dude, your such a buttom.)

All kidding aside, thank you J.P. for another great effort!

By the way, what is the shield post in this game?

By the way, what is the shield post in this game?

I believe that it is the post you see between the flippers before the drain hole. Pressing that extra button (or buttom as JP has it now) moves that post forward to help keep the ball in play.

[Johanpsu]

Well great you say.. havent read apron text on my small laptop )

Hey JP how do we trigger that shield post dedicated for that extra button on the right hand side??

Press the apostrophe ( ' ) key to activate the post.

[Sabbat]

the post is crazy i used it and the ball bounced all the way back up to the top playfield.

[kristian]

Top quality stuff as usual... the graphics are incredible... it's amazing how JP is able to put out this stuff consistently.

Thanks my friend....!!

[jpsalas]

hehe, "buttom" I guess I'll need to start to read back what I type

The key to trigger the shield is the one defined as "keyUpperRight", and in my keyboard is the "æ", this is the key on top of the right shift.

And yes, if you hit right the shield it will send the ball back in play, but you may miss the ball a lot of times

So now the question is, what's next for our favorite Smurf?
