Initial announcement from Jeff:
Star Pool (Williams 1974)
This release wouldn't be possible without the following:
 
Darth Marino for the artwork
Halen who brokered the permissions to use Darth Marino's prior work
JPSalas for his implementation and code related to the spinner
flupper for the primitive used for the spinner
 
Like all of my releases, hold down the left flipper for 3 seconds when not playing a game to set the options.

THANKS to DarthMarino, Halen, Flupper1 and JPSalas for their release to publish this mod!
 
My view on Star Pool: I have never seen the game in real, however I was always a very fan of this pre-SS area of pinball. More and more ideas enriched the game fun ... so I took Jeff's work ... here I offer you my Version 1.0a with these changes:
 
Game:
- new physic (cab optimized)
- new POV
- slight layout corrections in order to reduce ball losts
- all object sounds are now in operation and volume levels balanced
- new ball
- new ball position in shooter lane, new sounds
- new timing, ball ejected when score motor comes to stop
- new adjusted spinner with nicer dynamic
- drop targets shields avoids falling when hit from the side 
- new colors for the PF - taken from a good picture in the IPDB
- graphic flaw at the "Double Bonus" triangle corrected
- all under-the-table-lights corrected in color and intensity
 
Backglass:
- rolling score reels
- illuminated credit indication
- all light controls according original game behaviors
- general color temperature and brightness in harmony with the playfield 
 
zip contains game, BG and pics for cab users.
 
All this in kind tribute to Jeff Whitehead.
