File Name: Star Ship (Bally 1976)

File Submitter: jpsalas

File Submitted: 10 Mar 2025

File Category: VPX Recreations

Author(s): jpsalas
Manufacturer: Bally
Year: 1976
Permission to MOD?: Yes, with approval

Based on the Bally table from 1976. Only 1 unit produced This is the prototype of Supersonic. More to read at the IPDB:
Internet Pinball Machine Database: Bally 'Star Ship'
 
Thanks to Borgdrone for suggesting the table and for sending me the his backdrop, playfield and plastics which I used as a based on my table.
 
The table's rules are just like in Supersonic. The only differences are:
- the center bumper always scores 100, and the other alternate between 100 and 1000 when lit.
- the current state is not saved between balls/players, since this is a EM table, so there was no way to save those values, which is something they started to be able to do by using a ROM. This makes the table a bigger challenge than Supersonic. But it has 5 balls as default.
 
I made the directb2s myself, so it is very simple. Feel free to enhanced it if you want

Love to see this being built. Thank you JPS !

It's a very well made machine, but...

 

No matter how many times you land in the kickout hole, the bonus multiplier will not increase by 5x...    

 

I request that this be investigated and improved as soon as possible...

 

P.S.

Even if you land on the kickout hole, you won't get 3000 points...    

 

I also hope this will be improved...

UPDATE
 

1.0.1 Updated 11.03.2025

- Fixed Hole not giving 3000 points.

- Fixed Bonus Multiplier not reaching 5x

(Thanks yukiko1701d for the bug report)

 

I guess I forgot to add the 3000 points to the hole And maybe I forgot to change a constant at the start the script to set the max multiplier, or I simple pressed one CTRL Z too much

 

PS: yukiko1701d > my next table will be On Beam, as you requested

Hi, I created an dof config entry for Star Ship (cgamename = starship) for public consideration

added basic dof toys and lights (with given dof numbers of table script)

[yukiko1701d]

Thank you for the quick improvement...

 

I played it earlier and had no issues...

 

I'm looking forward to your next work (On Beam)...

 

I feel happy to be able to experience Bally's work from the 1960s...

 

Please continue to create great works....

I was playing this last night. With the chimes it feels like a completely different game! I don't know if it plays any different, but it feels like a different game.

Ace, DOF would really add to it.
