File Name: Metropolis (Maresa 10981)

File Submitter: jpsalas

File Submitted: 23 Jun 2019

File Category: VPX Recreations

Author(s): jpsalas, akiles50000, loserman76
Manufacturer: Other - Pinball
Year: 1982
Permission to MOD?: Yes, with approval


Based on the table by Maresa from 1981.

Alikes50000: playfield graphics redraw.
Loserman: B2S and script changes
Thanks to Kiwi for testing the table.
Thanks to leeoneil for the DOF commands. If you want more lights feedback (undercab and some flashbords effects), you can activate the "Epileptik option :D " at the beginning of the script.
 
This table uses no rom. It was an EM table but with digital scores.

These are my tables, sorted by date, all them playable with VPX 7 or newer:

After 18 years making tables, it is time to take a rest and let new authors do their thing.

I guess at last I'll play some more pinball :). But I'm sure I'll make some table updates from time to time :)

a nice table, :otvclap:
This was the last pinball that the manufacturer "MARESA" created, which would have been great if they had continued to manufacture more pinball machines,
very appreciated this magnificent work,
JPsalas, akiles50000 & loserman, a great team, :hi:
THANK YOU  :winetoast:

Thanks jp, akiles, and loserman, really fun table.  really like the cool sound effects would be interesting to see how they merged the em and the sounds/scoring.

 

@akiles50000 if you have pictures of the real machine for this (I assume you are working off something!?), or any of these tables you guys have been doing lately, please consider sending them up to ipdb.org, they could use them.

So are you saying it is illegal to take pics of pinball tables you dont actually own, and send them to IPDB?

Sounds ridiculous to me.

Damn petty if that is true.

 

Thank you all for the work on this great rare table!!

Another preserved for all time!!

 

Carry on.

Backglasses needs to have the exact same name as the table and be in the same folder. The only difference of those files is the file extension.


From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.

Another great table (that I've never seen/played before) by the Master.

 

I have noticed on the two inner lanes on the right hand side, either the lights are reversed or the special scoring is reversed. When the green light on the inner right lane is lit, the unlit outer right lane will score the 50,000 and bonus, while the inner lane will just score the 5000. Likewise when the outer right lane is lit, the unlit inner lane will score the 50,000 and bonus, but the outer will just score the 5000. Of course, when both lights are on, they both score the 50,000 and bonus.

 

Thanks again for a board that seems to be challenging, but still fun to play.

Thanks for spotting that error, PunkTiger :) That's a copy/paste error.

 

In the trigger6_hit the li6 should be li7:

 

Sub Trigger6_Hit
    PlaySoundAt "fx_sensor", Trigger6
    If Tilted Then Exit Sub
    DOF 226, DOFPulse
    If li7.State Then
        AddScore 50000
        AddBonus 1
    Else
        Addscore 5000
    End If
End Sub

 

I'll update the table :)
