Hey Guys

Well, kind of a short Break I took smile.gif I just played this pin this week, and it is so f***ing fun to play!!
Nice Table Layout, addicting Music, nice Lights.

So I felt like "Hey...this one have to be done!!!"

So I will do it before all other WIPs. I´m taking my time, and I cannot say when it´s finished.

At the moment I completely redraw the playfield, and this takes much pretty time smile.gif

Just wanted to let you know that I´m working on it.

Greetings

GRONI

My current VPX Tables I am working on:

BK2K is one of my favourite pins! I used to play it a lot when I was younger. It's a very addicting pinball, and I love the music! (in fact, I think it's the pinball with best music ever)

Fantastic news! I own this table, so if you need any hi-res scans...sound effects...just ask. smile.gif

Pros: one of the best sound/light show packages around
Cons: one-handed (right side makes the lion's share of the shots -- you can successfully play this game one-handed!)

That was a short break, you may be a workaholic Groni (I am not complaining smile.gif). BK2k is a great choice imo, I miss playing this table a lot, and I miss that funky music. I don't know where to find a real one in my area anymore, and I don't use vp8 anymore (spoiled on vp9's physics) so I have been w/o this one for awhile. Thanks a million for giving another great table the megapin treatment, and again - awesome choice of tables!

Lio's version is ok but it's top down and it's vp8, so thank you for making this table. The music is awsome (he's the Black Knight, Ha Ha Ha Ha), this table was done by Steve Ritchie and so was Roller Games that also has awsome music remember "Rock, Rock, Rock, and Rollergames, Rock, Rock, Rock, and Rollergames, Rockin and Rollin, Rocken"N"Rollergames. This table also needs the vp9 treatment, But i love the BlackKnight 2000's Multi-ball, that is may all-time favorite Multi-ball. I don't remember what RANSOM sounds like, i'm going to check TheMcD's music collection maybe he has it, if you don't please try and get the RANSOM music from Blacknight 2000 Please. Thanks again Groni for picking this game.

one man's break may be a week, yours was I think a few days, but hey if you feel refreshed enough to start another pin, who am I to say no? and BK of all pins! the first to have a double play field I believe. I remember cleaning the real one when it first came out, what a nightmare, that lower loop was a bitch to clean and polish (the one that is hidden by that upper field) but my first game I 'popped' 5 games on it and had a score of well over 229 million! for that I'll always have fond memories of it. just one question, what is a megapin as compared to a regular pin? I see that term used often here and was just wondering...

I think BoP would look awesome with Whirlwind-style ramps, laugh.gif
but the other wips (Earthshaker drool.gif ),too.
Good to Groni that BK2K just has only one small plastic ramp.
@Uncle R.: Can you do some screenshots how to make such extreme well ramps ?
@panootz: R.A.N.S.O.M. for you:

Here is a first Screenshot of the Playfield.

The redraw of the main playfield is almost finished. The left Slingpart is still the original graphic. Just for you to see
the difference between the source and the redrawed material.
The pink areas will be wood later, and the green parts will be replaced with light inserts.
its a vector graphic now, so i can do any resolution i like.

enjoy
