Thanks to StevOz and rascal,for their help regarding some required info.I apologise for the fact that this table is fully locked up,but i've had unauthorised mods of my tables in the past,uploaded (not here),so i'm left with no option.No idea if this will work okay with VP9,too,since i don't use it at this moment in time.....so if someone would be kind enough to let me know,i'd appreciate it.Thanks.Please let me know if you encounter any problems.Cheers.

Thank you PINMAN! Excellent job on this one.

Although not partial to EM machines, I really like this one! Crisp graphics, nice and simple EM sounds and quite a challenge to keep the ball in play. Nice one!

It may work in someone else's VP9, but because you locked it, I can not check or uncheck 'hardware rendering' so i can't see the flippers at all, this is a problem we encounter with vp9 not liking older cards or intel graphics at all. so until (if) you unlock it so I can check said box, I can't play it in vp9. It plays great in vp8 though, just like I remember the old ones playing, incredibly tough or maybe it's me who just flat out sucks! I broke 8 grand and was tired doing it, but it is fun! thanks for the great table!

I haven't had to much time to try it out yet but I have no problem with it on VP9.
It plays great, has that "old school" look and feel to it.
Great job Pinman, thanks.

[StevOz]

Thanks Pinman plays great and certainly has that classic feel and gameplay, lotsa fun.

Very nice looking original table Pinman.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the release.

It plays quite well in Vp9, it's just that the flipper rubber colors get placed as thin line on the bottom instead of middle.

Big tip of the hat for working in all the scoring strategies without giving the table clutter, and allowing the ball to flow nicely. Graphics are pleasant. A bit difficult to get the ball onto the bumpers with side lane shots. The left loop is quick and very effective.

My preference for the MOON letters would have been for add-a-ball, but special is still fine. Any chance you could put a high score save into this. I cracked 14000 after about a dozen tries. It was fun figuring out where to play to score bigger.

A very solid original Pinman, all elements balance to make it quite addictive.

Thanks to all within this thread,for taking the time to leave me some feedback,it's much appreciated,especially since it will no doubt help me to improve any future efforts.

Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention.If anyone would like another copy,with the rubbers removed,and /or the awarded replays,exchanged for extra balls,then please let me know,and i'll upload another copy,to somewhere like Rapidshare,and then post the link here,once done.

To be honest with you,i'm unable to achieve this at the moment.Once this changes,it'll be an added feature,to any tables that i release.

[destruk]

You could release a locked version with hardware rendering checked for the table options, however you'd need to load the table in VP9 to do that. Otherwise users would need to change the registry to enable it, and change the registry back when they were don't playing - a little more work.

[PINMAN]

Thanks for the suggestion,Brian.I do intend to update to VP9,real soon.

Nice table Pinman, good job on the graphics and the table layout. I can see that this table would definately be a coin gobbler if it were in real life... I could drive a truck through that space between the fippers.

Thanks for your kind words,rascal.

I could drive a truck (sideways) through that space between the fippers.

I've corrected your statement .Seriously though,some of the old EM's were right buggers,with how quickly you could lose your ball.The number of outlanes,was often a big factor.Glad you liked the table.

pinman,
how about the password?
