Hi,
after the release of Popeye I asked You for suggestions about next tables to be recreated. From the resulting list of suggestions now the first table should be announced - Dungeons & Dragons by Bally. 

I stated that I wanted to avoid excessive painting, but with this table I had to draw a lot - again. Resources have been thin and so I was glad that Nerbflong provided me not only with highres images of the table but also with video footage to compare my recreation to. Based on his images I did a playfield redraw, extracted the plastics and reassambled the pin.

I also want to thank the authors of the VP8 table Destruk and Lander for the correct lights mapping. The Bally manual is no help there.

 

The table is complete and working. The only things I have to add before a release are the flashers and the GI. A desktop version will be done after the FS release (as usual).

So please check, if Your magna save buttons are installed correctly on Your cabinet. This table is nasty, fast and fun.

You will almost certainly need the nvram file to start a game - it is availiable on this site.

 

Regards

Michael

Hooray! Well done, great redraw too!

[BobAlbright]

Cool--so glad to see a remake of something that has not been already been done recently. And a first , I think , for FS. Thank you

[vampirolatino2]

Oh wow that table looks awesome! If you need help in the playfield or any other graphics let me know

[Ark Malmeida]

Wow - amazing job!  Like BobAlbright said, it's fantastic to see tables that haven't existed in VP9 FS getting done.  Keep up the great work - can't wait to play it!  Another reason to break out the magna (or 'Magic' in this case) Save buttons!

Thank you Michael.  The table is looking great.

 

I've been waiting for someone to do this one and can't wait to try it out.

[ElRato]

That is the best news I've heard all day, and it's been a pretty good day.  Love your Popeye, cannot wait to see D&D!

When I saw the topic title, I thought back to just two days ago when I saw a plastic set for sale. I was going to offer to buy a set and scan them, but I see you have it well under control.

Awesome!

reproduction plastics were done by CPR:

Hi Noah, kruge99,

 

I have found these plastics too before starting the table. I did not want to use the images copied from their website as it is their property. Noah's approach would have been a way to bypass this.

But luckily good enough images have been contributed by Nerbflong.

 

Regards

Michael

Hi akiles50000,

 

the images I have are quite good but if You could send me the zip file, I could check my playfield redraw.

 

Thank You

Michael

I remember playing that game in my teenage years. I set a high score on that machine that no one else could touch.

[blashyrk]

Cool i didn't know there was a d&d pinball

Love the backbox and topper on this table. Who ever does the DB2S has to do the topper too.

You'd need a vertical backglass screen for that topper to be included

Holy cow I didn't know there was a topper for that game! The machine I played didn't have one.

[Sindbad]

Looks awesome, I remember playing this table in a bar called "Bahnhofskneipe" a lot of years ago ...

[mfuegemann]

Hi Rascal,

 

now I know what to do with that 4th video connector in my cab - it has to be the 3rd backbox monitor . . . for the toppers.
