Initial announcement from Jeff:
VPX conversion
Artwork done by GNance

in addition to the "standard" keys (typically "1" to start game and "5" for coin), I've added "3" as another coin input and "4" for coin and auto-start game (like I recall the dime slots generally were) to simulate 3 coin slots
when game is not in progress, holding down left flipper for about 3-5 seconds will bring up the options menu. left flipper selects item, right flipper changes option.
I've also included shadows for the ball and flippers. If you want to turn them off look for these lines at the beginning of the script:
Const ShadowFlippersOn = true
Const ShadowBallOn = true
change to false if you want either of the shadows not showing on your tables
 
Version 1.0b
- new sounds and added sounds e.g. when hitting a stand up target
- new game physic (cab optimized)
- improved ball rest position in shooter lane
- now all table options resets after change of player and the valid plateau- related options are lit (this was the main flaw in the previous version), I think it was the first game that memorizes and recalls different game statuses of each player. Difficult to realize that in EM technology and the reason that the game was made as two player, only.
- added mini post in side out lanes for improved game fun
- the bumper triggers are now in colored plastic
- the plastic cover at the top left in lane has now a material assignment
- new POV for cab use
- in game over state the plastics illumination stays on (the original behavior of all Gottlieb EMs)
- back glass score wheels' illuminations tuned 
 
Version 1.0c
in the meantime I gained more experience, all is now in this update ...
°game
- outer bumpers are wired in parallel
- higher ball mass for a better pinball- feeling 
- all object sounds in operation
- one flaw corrected- the lights over the 5 red targets return now to default state with each new ball
°BG
- turning score reels
- more bulbs for the score reels
- improved light control much closer to the original
 
°zip contains game, BG and pics for cab users
 
All this in kind tribute to Jeff Whitehead.

Nice, i will update on my Cab ...

I am running 10.73 in cabinet and I get the following warning.

 

Runtime error

-------------

Line: 2142

Object required: 'Eval(...)'

 

 

The syntax looks like it is consistent with other lines, so I am not sure what the problem is.

 

Keep up the good work!

Hi tdboss,

 

I regret that. Have you tried to play the game with 10.6?
