I just played 10 games..and i gotta say...FANTASTIC AWESOME JOB!!!!
You paid ALOT of attention to details on this release.
I absolutely LOVE the flipper/game physics. Your slope is perfect, strength/speed of the flippers are spot on...and even the plunger.
...and let's not forget the table textures/graphics...my oh my. I'ts a glorious day!
Thanks again JP...I can tell you 've put alot of time into this one..and it is by far one of your best to date...and I mean that.

What a fantastic recreation!! Just sterling. This has be the very best physics to date... I know i've said that before, but this is a bar raiser.

Every nuance has been carefully created! Rubbers are perfect. This is my cab opinion as i haven't tried the desktop version.

Only change i made was to lower the left flipper 1 click... that is it. That one click makes it perect flowing on both sides, yeah i know, picky picky, but try it and you will see.

Beautiful!

Always room for improvement :) So here you have a small update:

Update 2.1.1
- fixes a few lights (thanks kiwi)
- fixed the ramps so the ball can't fall out of them.
- new metallic rings to fit the wire ramps
- fixed the left flipper rail so the ball don't bump on the flipper.
- replaced the defect green traffic light :)
- fixed the left ramp/wall decor
- changed the gates (thanks faralos), by removing the supports. Also changed the gates images.
- increased the volume and length of the bellring sound
- added missing sound when the ball falls off the shooter ramp

And in the desktop version there is a new backdrop too :) This time using Grizz's backglass

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 :)

This is an amazing update. The earlier versions were good already but this one takes it to the next level for sure. The graphics changes are awesome.
Somehow it seems that the table became easier though... :)

Thank you very much.

Did you ever figure this out? I just loaded this table, and I have no sound either other than pinball sounds. I tried the L-3 and L-4 roms. I found by hitting the 8 key, it brings up a service menu and it says "music off". I scroll through and it shows different sounds, but don't hear it. I'm using 9.1.5

The suddenly disappearing sound when only the mechanical sounds are present is actaully a relatively common phenomenon and it is usually solved by just restarting VP. No idea what causes it though.

Thanks for the explanation.. After a while of hitting buttons, VP crashed. When I restarted it, it was working. I was trying to figure out which button sequence was the right one.. Mystery solved.  :D
