Ha! What a pleasure it is to come across this table after playing your Fireball table! I had only discovered 4 Million BC today. I never knew that Bally had another zipper flipper table besides Fireball and Nip-It. And now to see you've already made one!

Thanks for this, and that it's WS! Two exquisite tables in as many days! YYEEEEAAAHHH!!!

I have to say Walter this was a great table before. But now that I've been playing a real one of these machines weekly at the pinball museum, this table plays extremely accurate to the real machine.

Fantastic job on this.

So glad you are back at making tables

Hey, 1234fd,

Oooops wrong post. Saaahhhreeee!!

I dunno, I was looking at one post for WS and then the other for 4:3 ... they BOTH play on my laptop. Guess I was just jazzed about 4MBC being already available for the desktop, and not just for FS as a lot of 'em are these days. 3 AM Mindfart, thaswhathawas ..

Oh, BTW, thanks for that link to Gator! COOL! 3 for 3, yet ANOTHER fabulous Zipper Flipper table from our man Walter! We have a Vintage Pinball Trilogy here!
