So, you like odd ones huh? Go try my Gas Attack one. the table design is Break shot (by Pacdude w/ his permission) but the table is patterned after two machines based on bodily functions and their noises! One was based in Chicago but I never could track it down the other was nice enough to send some pics including the playfield and plastics shots! So, I lucked out there. I had a blast getting sounds for that one! Everything from 'achoo' sounds to vomiting is in it! I never could get the Rom for it so all the sound and scoring are mine, but I did use a good play field shot so it looks real! anyhow, go... get out of here and go play a pin...!

I like anything that's fun for me, and that usually means slower tables, but since I lucked out and got VPM working, there are a few newer tables I get a kick out of. Growing up on bagatelle and flipperless, I never turn on my speakers, since I find all those modern sounds a distraction. But it's nice to know I'm smarter than I used to be. Originally it took me 3 1/2 years to get VPM working, this time it only took a day and a half.

If you like old em's check out World's Fair 1962 (vp8 originals) I know I'm tooting my own horn but I'm proud of that game! It's a good old fashioned em with nothing but bell sounds.

Nice to see you back, John

[Popotte]

Happy to see you again, Jon!

[Shockman]

For those that don't know, John has made many unique VP games ranging from pinball tables to bagatelles to Cracker Jack toy pachinkos and the like. I hope he still has them and shares them with us.

Hello John. It's good to see you around, once again, matey. I hope that all is well at your end.

Its great to see tilt return - and I haven't forgotten you games - I will go through all my old disks and my VP folders when I get a bit of down time from work and I hope I have some of your tables still to replace the ones you are missing. I have a DVD somewhere with a backup of PO from before the time you left, so that (if I can find it) might have a couple. Its amazing what I find going through old CD's - I found a CD from 1997 the other day with a load of stories and games and a finished book written years before that which I thought were all lost forever, so don't worry - all good things made in the past can be reclaimed when you least expect it!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can find at least some of my old originals. I had a computer die on me 2 years ago, and lost everything, when my backup CD got damaged. I have downloaded some things from PO, including stuff from you, your mom, and Rockinghorse.

There's also stuff still at PN & PO. I'm working on some new bagatelle and commercial flipperless, as well as updating and adding features to some of my old stuff. And to think when I came back I had no intention of being an author again. Go figure, huh?

[Rockinghorse]

Hi John,

I do have a few of you tables here, I'll get them to you as I can.

Good to see you back.

Well Paul, as a co-founder of one of those other places, hopefully I will be able to liven things up over at PN. Or maybe not.

Life and times sometimes change, and so recently I decided to start playing VP pins again. I still prefer flipperless and older EMs, and hope to locate and download more of my own tables from the past. I doubt I'll make any new games, but maybe in time I will. It's good to see some folks from the past, and to see a lot of new authors. I'm older, not much wiser, but hopefully a bit more mellow. I'll lurk more than I post, which I'm sure people who remember me will be grateful to hear.

Heya buddy! I missed you! WOW I'm back I guess

I'm around. I'll have to figure all this new stuff out now. Go figure.

If you can find any of my old tables PLEASE send them to me pal. All my disks are with my mother in Florida.

You were gone closer to 5 1/2 years, just a bit over 4 years for me. You can grab all your tables from PN, where they're still at. So I guess we'll be in competition again for the same sorts of images, huh?

I hope not. I know you; you love those bagatelles more than the coin ops like I do. If you run across any images I can redraw again please send them my way. I'd appreciate it pal. I won't have a ton of time to really mess with VP as much as I did in the past.

But I may take a dive and makea few including some wild ideas I have for some puzzle games

Hope to see u around buddy!

Will, 2 of mine you should download, well, get all of mine while you're at it, are Jamboree, my first new bagatelle, and Bob's Nemesis 3, which pokes good-natured fun at Bob5453, who I call SpiderBob.

[The Loafer]

Wow, Druadic too? I'm getting a nice warm fuzzy feeling inside. Nice to see both of you active guys.
