Magic Castle - Jive's mod v1.2b



Version: 1.2b
Category: VP/VPinMAME 8.x - MOD Tables

Author(s): Zaccaria, LuvThatApex, Destruk, Jive

Description:
Many great to LuvThatApex, for his great contribution to the Pinball Community, and for this awesome conversion of an incredible table from Zaccaria, which isn't enough known, and which should be more recognized in the Pinball World !
Magic Castle 1984 Zaccaria (Italy)

- VPM scripting by Destruk
- Table by LuvThatApex
- Special thanks to David Gersic for the manual and recording the videos to use as a template for this release!

=========================
Mod by LuvThatApex (09-17-2004):
- Debugged version.

Mod by Jive on Aug 08, 2003:
- Sounds added for slingshots and bumpers.
- BackBox added.
- Field of view and inclination changed.
- Box pictures changed and scalled.
- Background lights and texts centered and rescalled.
- Pretty all the posts are rescalled and replaced on other points of the playfield, in order to match the real table, but mainly to change the gameplay and to avoid the loss of the ball prematurely. This table is very hard, and only a Pinball's god could have kept the ball on play more than 10 secondes... Now, it's always a very hard table, but there are no more fake bounces and the gameplay is adjusted in order to have a challenge, but not an impossible mission which could give the impression to be the worst player of the universe!!!
- I have reorganized and rescalled pretty all the things that the ball can hit.
- Correction of a bug on a light which wasn't flashing (forgotten in the light collection)
- New architecture for the slingshots.
- New design of the outlanes
- New gosts and new way to have them on the playfield.
- New architecture of the upper part of the table.

To resume: the same table, but with another design and another gameplay.

Many great to LuvThatApex, for his great contribution to the Pinball Community, and for this awesome conversion of an incredible table from Zaccaria, which isn't enough known, and which should be more recognized in the Pinball World !
Zaccaria tables are really totally innovative, in term of design and gameplay. You can play some Gottlieb tables which are very close each from the other, graphically and with pretty the same story line, but you would never find that with Zaccaria!
I made this work in order to make you discover this jewel with a new eyesight.
Hope you will enjoy it...

I don't care to have but to give, I don't care to be if I can't share what I am and what I have

Yes, Zaccaria made a quite a few colorful entertaining tables that didn't have much distribution in North America. This table has a ton of personality. And the bonus time feature makes Zaccaria tables pleasantly different from the usual fare.
