This is a 2 player EM version of Gottlieb's Cleopatra which was available in EM and SS version. I ran across an old VP8 jpsalas version of Pyramid on one of those other sites, and  JP was nice enough to share even more of his resources than what was in the table, and with the more recent Cleopatra SS tables that have been done there were plenty of good resources, and I found a decent backglass image on the internet somewhere.  Used JP's code mostly for play logic, and went off to the races.  I happened to get enough resources to do something I had wanted to do with my Gemini table, and that was make two versions in one, yes TWO!  There is a old, rusty, faded, worn, yellowed version and there is a nice bright shiny version all in the same table.  Borrowed the idea from loserman76 and gnance for the hold down left shift to open the options menu, and let you choose not only number of balls and replay levels, but whether you want to play clean or dirty.  
 
So big thanks to jpsalas, loserman76, gnance and the internet.  Oh yeah and those guys who made VP10.
Thanks also to sliderpoint and hauntfreaks for the vp and graphics help as always.

Love your old and rusty tables BorgDog

Many thanks!

[Pinball999]

Oh, just one thing I have noticed.

The table and ball reflections don't seem to work on the table.

[BorgDog]

The reflections work if you choose the clean option, or they should anyway.  The dirty version is an overlay and it won't work with those or raised playfields.

[Pinball999]

I see.

Thanks!

Great table it plays great... But, I am unable to find the option to change the balls from 3 to 5. I tried the whole hold down left shift... Didn't pop up any menu...

In VPX game editor I found the options for old playfield. But, I just can't find the tab to change the balls... Sorry for this stupid question. I even tried changing the code and I couldn't figure it out there as well...Sometimes I can... But, not this time.

Ahhh... I got it now. Thank you... Same issue that gets me into trouble at work. I sometimes stop reading after I think I absorbed all the info... Thanks again!

Also... Believe it or not I thought I had the clean playfield selected, but I was playing with the dirty one... Man that is so cool switching back and forth between them!!!
