As would I.  Trigon is quite simply - a MASTERPIECE!

Great topic, maybe this will get some table author to recreate these in VPX

I am pretty impressed with Pioneer by Gottlieb and AndyPandy. I think it really only works in desktop mode though due to the method they used to create the table.

Seems to work up to VP v9.21

Have a look at the gameplay video I made.

Rather flattered that someone mentioned my BGC 2035 table from back in the day. It's still probably my favorite of all the tables I've built and I still fire it up occasionally. It's still playable up to at least VP 9.21, but they changed how the text boxes are handled in VP 9.9+ and I've not figured out how figure out how to get the display to work in 9.95.

 

I actually plan to do a rebuild of Bubblegum Crisis 2035 in VPX after I clear a couple of other projects I'm working on, Hextech 1.2 and a new table I've been working on the past few months that I haven't revealed yet.Once I get those done and released, then next up is likely the BGC 2035 rebuild. It's going to be quite the project once I do start on it. I'd only gotten back into VP just a few months ago after being away for about 6 years and thought about which of my old tables I would want to rebuild for VPX, and BGC 2035 won out by a narrow margin over Initial D.

 

Current working title is Bubblegum Crisis 2037. The plan right now is that It'll still be pretty much the same game but I've come up with some things to add, and some things to change or (hopefully not) remove. There are things in the playfield I'd like to adjust, make some of the shots a little easier to hit, and improve the flow, and I'm also looking to make it fit in either mid-90s Williams or Superpin table dimensions. It definitely deserves a full DMD but I haven't figured I want to implement it yet. Might start with the old system if I can get it working for DT (no guarantees), but I may have to attempt something like FlexDMD which I do not have any idea how to set up and make it work the way I want it to, especially if I were to build a B2S backglass for the cabinet guys. Much to think about and much to still learn.

 

Take Care.

i only like real Machines, then sometimes i ask JP for that, at least e.g. Bullseye 301 ...

 

There are for sure a few left to do, with also nice Images on the VP9 Version ...

 

But well, i am a big Fan of "SK Rapid Vienna" too, unfortunately there are (for me) 2 or 3 great Soccer Tables availabe as real Machines - and - VPX,

so i don't need another "Original".

I don't know, i have left some Ideas for e.g. an Arkanoid - Table (with many Drop Targets and more "Levels", original Arcade Sounds already here, ... ),

but i still have too less Time for all ...

 

If someone have a new Original and there is no directb2s, then i can help out.

If you don't make a start then it will be never there. We can make one together if you want. Just take it slow every week one mode or something :). Just with every step a table is created.

I made a 2 screen vp9 version of Trigon at Rogue.

 

I'd love to see Anthias's Bleach and Death Note tables.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who'd like to see this brought into VPX.  I just love the extra little Bagatelle bonus game on the back glass!

One of my favorite games!! Love the music!

Yes really hard specially when you lose one of your guns in the upper levels. Would be nice if they had a Super Zapper you could use, like on Tempest, (Another Favorite)!
