Star Trax

Description:
Williams made ONE of these prototype games. Featuring music from Police Force. Thanks to Kelley (pinballjail at charter.net) for providing the roms, video, and gameplay info. Use the numeric keypad to move the disc plate.
The plate moves in 3d - pay attention to the tilt angle. Pushing forward tilts the disc away from you, pushing down tilts the disc toward you. The first push shoots the balls close to the middle of the physical cabinet - to hit the sides where all the scoring objects are you need at least two pushes in a direction. With about 4000 walls and 1 year working on script, this is the most logical way I could come up with to reproduce this extremely rare game. Sure - a mouse would be nice to have but then it wouldn't have any challenge to play would it? Check the table info for 'cheat codes' to get started with.

NICE JOB!!!!!

Thanks for the long commitment into preserving a game few would ever know of, or see in action Destruk. I managed to get to 8 million on my second try, and though it feels challenging to control at times, it grows on you as the game continues.

I'm still not sure if there are targets to hit by aiming the balls towards yourself, so I just swish the plate everywhere I can.

[destruk]

The only targets to hit aiming the plate towards yourself are "Moon" and "Phobos". Glad you like it.
