===============================

VP v 9.15 - recreation by starman - October 2013
 
See change log.

THANKS to...
...'rosve' for B2S -
...'matthewnet' for images -
...'koadic' for the flipper decal routine
...'Rascal' for ballspeed routine
...'JPSalas' and 'PD' for fading lights routine
...everyone in the VP forums for their shared knowledge and experiences.
Without you this table wouldn't exist in this way!
______________________________________________________________________________

Some briefly notes about the features:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Unique Add-A-Ball Machine produced exclusively for Italy
Reel box on top of the playfield

Max. credits = 1 (not displayed on the backglass) - there is just a credits light on the apron!

The setup is almost as fast as shown on the gameplay video at PAPA site -> http://pinball.org/v...y-videos/yukon/ <-
which is really fast and very different for at that time (1971) on usual machines.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rules:
----------

The rules are very simple and almost self explanatory:

-> Top rollovers, all five targets, both outer alleys in the middle and both inlanes on the bottom advances
    respective reels in the reel box on the top of the table

-> Advancing all 3 reels from number 1 to YUKON position lites center target and both eject pockets to score special

-> Collecting the special advances center reel back to number 1 position.

-> Left and right reels remain at YUKON position

-> Reel values remain for next balls

-> Scoring special adds 2 balls

-> Tilt penalty - Ball in play.

Wow, looks fantastic Walter I'm looking foreword to playing this Staurday night...

Thank you :-)

[javier1515]

Thanks, looks exelent .

[Shadowsclassic]

This game is even more fun that I thought it would be!  Table is a blast. Really makes you work to keep the ball in play to get all those rollers to Yukon.  The right one can be a real bear at times (Pun intended)

 

Very beautifully recreated, the backglass looks exactly like a silk screened BG of the 70's.   Overall the attention to detail is just overwhelming!!!  I am definitely going to have to look at building a second table one wide body for SS and one old school for EM.

 

Once again starman, you have delivered a great table, thank you and all those involved for building and sharing!!!!!!

 

BTW, why would anyone turn the bells off?  That's the beauty of the EM's

[Arcade4]

Awesome. Love the classic EM's.

Can't wait to try this tomorrow.

[maceman]

Thanx very much Walter!!!

Cheers,

Maceman

Hi Startman

 

When i load the table a message box apear with 

 

 Could not create the back buffer,.

 

Any ideas ?? 

 

regards

 

[zeenon]

Normally I'm not one to download an EM, but this is a pretty neat table. The graphics are great and really pull you into the game.

 

I do have one question on the plunger....If I use the launch ball button, the graphical plunger pulls back on the screen, if I use the regular plunger the graphic is static. Any way to animate the plunger when using the regular plunger?

Thanks for nice comments!

So many questions...

Sorry, chas - this table isn't configured for playing on a single screen. Just the score works properly.

Most of back buffering issues happen due not properly working graphic drivers respective too little graphic memory.

Try to close other programs to free more ram or restart your system.

Look at the link below and / or ask the forums for "back buffer"

How is your system working with other tables?

The table has not been tested on a cabinet. But I'm pretty sure that there is a simlpe solution for that issue.

Another fine Release. Thank You!

This is the Add-a-Ball to Klondike right? Great job on the table!!!

Changes to add the animated plunger to this table. Credit goes to Koadic since this is his code:

End If

If plcount mod 5 = 0 Then PlungerPos2=Plunger.Position : plcount = 0

End Sub

 

Select Plunger in the editor, check the "Timer Enabled" box and set the interval to 40.

Thanks, zeenon!

I tried the table using the analog plunger code - and it works without influencing.

Is this code working in both ways (analog AND digital) on a cab? - If yes, then I'll upload an updated version. 

Otherwise the plunger routine has to be coded that it could be disabled / enabled in a simple way.
