Nice work UW! You are in my top five table recreators! dblthumb.gif

I think (FOR ME) that the table is a bit wide because of the text "alien poker" at the top. I tried to change the inclination, field of view, etc. But it seems that everything is tied up and can't make changes. How do I hold the table backwall at the top of the screen?

Thank you for the table!!

I'm not quite sure what you mean. The table is basically angle independent except for the reel i used for the plunger. Here is a shot of the table adjusted to be a little thinner. The only thing not in place as you can see is the plunger reel. I could probably redo the reel for you if you prefer a different view. This one is at 50 28 inc/fov.



Is this what you mean by a thinner table

Hi UW!

Sorry my difficulty to express myself in English. Well, what I'm saying is if you can stretch the screen as shown. Leaving the playing area a little larger and less appearance of apron.
Thank you for your attention! tup.gif

Thanks for the table uw & ecpb smile.gif
This table is a blast, good going and nice work. I especially like the way you did the lighting on the table, and I like the big bright table lights too. I have always been a fan of newer pins but have recently started getting into older tables (a friend of mine has a satin doll table). Alien Poker has a cool layout and I really like the sounds and voice samples. Your recreation is spot on, thanks again I am going to go play some more.

Hi UW

I played a few times. As I never played this table in a real life, maybe I'm talking nonsense. But I note when the ball is released from the ace of spades (when light turned on) the ball is thrown very very hard, almost impossible to get it. The ball goes straight through the flippers too hard. sad.gif Is that so?


Reiterating my request in the previous post ... Is possible to increase the size of the playing area, hiding part of the apron?

Thanks a lot!! smile.gif
Merry Christmas!!

I have never actually played the machinw in real life. I had a couple of people test it that had some experience with the machine and told me it was fairly accurate to the real thing. I have experienced the issue you are talking about with the left saucer draining the ball and it is a fairly easy fix. i believe i just need to adjust either the strength of the kicker or the angle of the guide wall. I am planning an update i was just waiting a little bit to see if anyone else had any issues such as this one. I also have a new redraw of the lower right plastic that is much closer to the actual plastic.

This is what i'm working with:
Black Pyramid and Space invaders are about 30% done
Monster Bash has just been started.
When BP and SI are finished i'm going to continue with MB and update all my previously released tables. Also going to totally rebuild badcats with all my own textures. So expect the update just may take a little bit. When i update it it will have a viewing angle close to what you suggested.

And i appreciate your input as i really don't play the 4:3 tables very much, since i have a pincab, so it's nice to know what you guys prefer for viewing angles etc. I really only make the 4:3 versions for the community here.

Expect it hopefully in january, so long as i don't have any major issues with BP and SI.

Oh and my art guy is progressing nicely on his redraw of the big bang bar pf so that one will be comeing along soon also.

Just found the time to sit and play a few games U.W. A very sweet one, love the speed that goes with this era of Williams tables. I saw that you've noted the drain issue on the left kickout, glad you're on it.

Nice list of projects on the go. Quite pleased to see Space Invaders listed, such a cool playfield. Thanks again for taking the time to share the 4:3 versions.
