.............................&
a big THANK YOU !

What else can I say that you do not already know about this table ???

[Shooby Doo]

Awesome! Thanks starman!

[Sabbat]

thank you starman, your vp8 version has been one of my favorite tables for a long time.

[Pintrepid]

Thanks for this truly addictive table! What a shifting of gears it is from playing Nova FS all weekend to relaxing in the recliner with this gem playing on the new laptop! Something about those dings and clangs of the oldSchool pinball bells, and the simple but completely compelling gameplay, really made my day. I dropped in all of 50 cents (Insert Coin twice) and have spent well over an hour with Honey! Reminds me of real arcade gameplay like back in the day!

[elton]

Thanks for the release. A very nice table.

[Sabbat]

I just wanted to say thanks again starman, this table was a lot of fun today.

[Liteuser]

Thank you Starman!

This is a very nice update the table plays good and the graphics are very well done.

[Sabbat]

I think its the best popup blocker between the flippers that i've seen in VP.

[Neo]

Another starman special...very nice work.

[starman]

Thanks, for nice comments! Glad you like the table.

BTW: Sabbat, there is still a game counter implemented.
Backdrop view -> next to the top right - > just grab it and push it back on the visible area.

Let me see...what was playing on the box as I and my brother played this machine back in '72....

Oh yes... It was "The Alter Ego". A Boutique and Head Shop on Hollywood Blvd. with a stereo receiver tuned to
KMET FM 94.7. With Incense in the air, black lights and strobes and color organs flashing and blazing,
and the posters, "Break the Dull Steak Habit".
W.C., Bogey's Hell's Angels, Mae West, and the "Psycho Cop" staring down on us all.

And on various nights as I played Honey, they played

"Don't Cross the River" ~or~ "Only in Your Heart" /America

"Castles Made of Sand" /Jimi Hendrix

"She Said/She Said" and "I Want to Tell You". And "For No One" /Beatles

Elton and The Zep.

Thank you for your servus Walter. Good times.

[starman]

Glad to hear that the Honey table brings back some good old memories.
Also, I sometimes think back on those days. Good thing we were able to experience it.

...
My name is Jack and I live in the back of the Greta Garbo home
with friends I will remember wherever I may roam
....

We had funny times while listen to the great Manfred Mann's Earth Band ...

Best song in those days: Blinded by the Light

So it is revved up like a deuce and not wrapped up like a douche
at least the first time around but at 2:08 he does say and continues for the rest of the song
"wrapped up like a douche" pardon me for being so blunt but is my hearing that bad?
he does say that right? man I swear he says that, kind of mean to say that about anyone really
I mean douchebag yeah I have heard but not wrapped up like one.
and I am guessing not a brand new one either

[sleepy]

I always heard it like "douche" myself, though Bruce wrote it(?) as "Deuce".

Could be. Their biggest hit as the previous band was "Do Wah Diddy"

"There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin'..."

Something to do with sex going on there in the vocals.

[starman]

Of course the right text is:

Blinded by the light,
>revved up< like a deuce,
another runner in the night...

Nothing else.

But that's not that important. The song is simply great and performed by one of the best bands at the 60s/70s.

[elton]

Yep - great song. Great band of the times
