Although like you I'm a fan of the 90's era pinballs, it's refreshing to see some of the older retro classics get some attention.  I'd like to reiterate the suggestion to give Black Knight some love, it's not only a classic but it's a historical table since it was the first table to introduce second level play field.

BK is an awesome table.....and as i remember....really hard in reall life! 
Yes...it would be really nice converted to NM!

[aldiode]

I would love to see BK as well! I owned a Limited Edition for about 10 years that I bought on ebay for $400 (trashed) and another $1500 to make it right. But I had to sell it 5 years ago to make room for my flight and driving simpits. I had made a replacement apron to use on my personal cab, but I'm sure you could do it much better justice

 

I miss it dearly!

Aldiode: flight and driving simpits? Any links? Recently got an incomplete driving cab and a hotas flight stick, so looking for any ideas, link to pics or your project available?

Yeah, I would love to see a black knight NM, would be a good candidate as would be it's big brother.

BK it is... Shouldn't be to hard to do... I like the old tables they are a lot easier to do

[jsncarter]

BK will be cool.   I would still love to see JP's Bram Stoker's Dracula get the full on Loaded NM treatment as well.   Also this is completely the wrong thread, but..   Wasn't someone working on a six million dollar man FS release?  I can't seem to find anything about it searching the boards?

Will it be a Limited Edition?

6MDM:  I believe Uncle Willy has that in the cards for VP10

[jsncarter]

Ah thanks for the news Loafer.  I owned that table for about 10 years.  Looking forward to playing it again on the pinball cab.

[The Loafer]

6MDM:  It's a fun table, I played it again at the Ottawa Pinball Show this past September.  The following games I think I played over and over, and over back in the day, ate all my quarters (and a few arcade vids...)

 

6MDM, Eight Ball (not deluxe, that came out later), Evil Knievel, Centaur, Kiss, Sinbad, Harlem Globetrotters, Playboy, Silverball Mania, The Incredible Hulk, Solar Ride, Genie, Gorgar, Flash, Power Play, Star Trek, Strikes and Spares, Future Spa, Hot Doggin', Superman, Supersonic, Meteor and Paragon = the master tables of the late 70's.  After this group and the arrival of the 80's, I turned more into a Williams freak but I never realized until this very moment how, as the majority of these title shows (with a couple of exceptions), Bally was king of the 78-79 period!

 

Like, not sayin' any or all of these tables should be your next targets LW, but these are beloved titles by many. eheh

LW, just wanted to say you breathed new life into my cab with all these new color mods! I normally try not to clutter my cab with multiple versions of the same game, I pick one I like most and just stick with it. But all your creations are so unique and have their own individual climates that I decided to install them ALL! You have a magic touch and all the tables you work on take on another dimension and a new feel in the process, sometimes we don't even know how much was missing in the first place until you put your touch to it. Somehow you manage to uncover the hidden soul of all these games, something that only a true artist could do! Thank you for spending so much of your time and effort in trying to satisfy every one of our tastes and wants!

 

P.S. Really looking forward to your version of the Black Knight!

Thank you for the kind words and they are appreciated.. I'm just glad to be able to give back to a hobby that has given me so much.. A lot of great people have helped make VP what it is today so the more people that can continue that then the better and longer lasting it will be for many other people later on.

When I first came here I had no knowledge of VP or photoshop but the people here helped me out. I wanted to do something so i started learning photoshop and making wheel images for my cab. The people here encouraged me to do more so i started messing with backglasses then the table editor just messing around with images. People like Aaron and Dozer making night mod tables got me inspired to want to learn that. Then people like unclewilly JPSalas Jimmyfingers and other people here helped me learn more and more about making tables. Then you have people like Dark and Zany who have helped make my job a lot easier in these updates. And you can't forget the Dev team that keep making VP better and better to allow us to do all these new upgrades.I guess what i'm trying to say if it wasn't for all these other people these table would not exist and I wouldn't be able to do what I do. So thank you again and it's nice to tell people they are appreciated and a simple thank you goes a long way..

[LoadedWeapon]

Just an idea... Do you think it's to much color?

I love your color mods, LoadedWeapon. We have a chance to get what people pay a lot of money and time to install on their real tables, for free. Now how cool is that?   

 

Looking at your wip for Black knight, it looks really good but it might be just a tad to much for that table. Or maybe it's just the purple that don't sit so good with me on this table.(the purple inserts that was there already before you started on the table) Maybe try another color for the purple inserts?

 

PS! I might be alone in this view so do wait for others to chime in

 

Keep up your excellent work, LoadedWeapon. You are a machine, man. A pretty Awsome machine. No human can work this fast and good.

Beautiful LW.  Not too much for me.  And red. Perfect for Fireppower

[zany]

LW...BK looks really cool with allt those colors...but i would try it with more orange then red colors on the slingshots aso!

[Shadowsclassic]

Okay, so far I have just went with the crowd.  Heck at the rate LW is going he will do all the tables in time.  However, with the new fantastic color mods I have a real desire to have a color version of Demolition Man to compliment my real DM that I will probably never have the money or confidence to upgrade to LEDs.

 

So, I guess that's one vote for Demo Man for the LoadedWeapon color mod treatment!

[The Loafer]

Looks very good, though I agree my preference would be more orange than red for the slings. Orange looks right on this pin.

[LoadedWeapon]

Ok thanks guys I will see what I can do.. maybe all orange or leave the other colors?

[zany]

Leave the other colors...but make the red orange.....make i look on fire!
