First I would like to thank Loserman76 for the beautiful work... wherever he is playing pinball!
 
small changes were made only aesthetically
 
small improvements in the playfield, plastics, lighting,flippers position...  I want to make it clear that the descriptions for the tables I'm sharing are "standard" for all, changes are made when there is a need for some adjustment.

Loserman Description:
VPX conversion
thanks to Noah Fentz, GNance, Arngrim
others to thank: JPSalas, Pinuck, hauntfreaks, Borgdog
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

Thank you Teisen for all the great work for updating all these loserman tables. Loserman was like the Popotte of Visual Pinbal, giving us EMs that look so clean, so immaculate. Paired with a Backglass from Wildman or Hauntfreaks and we have the opportunity to play these tables as I believed they would of looked straight from the factory, taking back in time. It's something really special.

I absolutely adore the art of these tables from the 50s to 70s.

Great stuff, i had to google what MIBS was , marbles, strange i never heard of the word in my 55+ years.

As said above, you do great updates to Losermans tables.

I clicked the ipdb link to see if they explained what it was. American variation for the word marbles. I'm 45 and American and strange I've never heard of the word either.

[teisen]

It's really a term I've never heard... from what I've seen it's been used since 1708, now where I don't know...lol

 

When the work is done well, it's easy to "improve" something, even if it wasn't necessary on the tables of Loserman76 and other contributors!
