==================================
This version is a debugged mod from me, based on my own mod v2.86 released on Nov. 27, 2003, based itself on the very first version 2.80 by PacDude.

Revised on Feb 08, 2009 : (v 2.87)
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
- The ejection of the ball from the hole on the left side of the ramp is improved a little bit
- Right ramp (with the cow) improved, so that it's a bit less hard to roll on it until its top.
- Pictures slightly moved around it.
- Elasticity changed for the trigger receiving the launched ball ==> the ball will no more have the same behavior and will be bouncing less predictively.

Revised on Nov. 27, 2003: (v2.86)
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
- A weird bug on the design of the ramp with the cow wasn't allowing the ball to travel on it. Solved!
- Suppression of one of the 2 decals of the ball, in order to have a smoother gameplay.
- Misplacement of the right flipper fixed.
- Slingshots: bases textured.
- Left and right paths corrected
- Balls pictures changed/improved (less Ko)
- Background picture improved.
- Minor improvements.

Nov. 20, 2003:
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
- Weird bug on the ramps which wasn't allowing some travels of the ball from a point to another: corrected!
- 2 saucers are better rendered
- All the work is purely graphical, apart a little change in order to have two different balls during the game, and the part concerning the animated background.
- New apron graphics (all made by me)
- Saucers improved (at least, I done my best...)
- Animated background (pics by me)
- End of ramps improved
- Color of ramps changed
- Red & green targets: new pictures.
- Martians resized.
- Esthetical improvements.
- Balls pictures by me.

Great thanks to PD for his permission to mod his work.

PD is, obviously, one of the the best authors of this time!!!

I don't care to have but to give, I don't care to be if I can't share what I am and what I have
