Thanks for the original versions to these awesome folks: Goldchicco, 32Assassin, Ezepov, Arngrim, Movieguru, sorry if i missed anyone!
=========================

Special thanks to: 
Movieguru for further playfield and apron image enhancements, VPW for the tutorial videos and example table, Fluffhead35 and Wylte for some great tips and guidance, PinstratsDan for testing, Bord for checking it over before i braved the release - thanks all!.

 

 

ROM SETTINGS
The rom defaults to the following settings:
-Easier game with the 'GOD' advancement starting with 'GO' when first top drop target bank is dropped
-Random high score which gives a replay when achieved
-High score does not save
 

I've included a couple nvram files:

Default (in case you wanna reset)
OPT 1: 3 ball game, normal advancement of 'GOD' (starts with G), extra ball on lit top special hit (special is lit after the top drop bank if downed 3x times), high score saved

 

**note: turn off reflections as the playfield image has these on it already***

 

Hope you enjoy. Thanks!

Version 1.4 additional credit- sorry, I failed to add that Hauntfreaks also brightened up the PF image too! - thx man :)

Dude, nice job!! I bought some Zaccaria tables from Steam a few years back and thought meh, didn't think they were up to the VPX standard and quickly set them aside. That has changed with what you developers have done with some of these mods. Adding Fleep and nFozzy etc propels these tables to the, I want to play them list. Robot and now Stargod will forever be in my Favorites so thanks to the original authors and thanks to you guys who take them to the next level.

I was truly bowled over when I saw how much better this table looked than an earlier version I played. It is a tough but inviting table that keeps you on your toes. The flipper physics is so well tuned that you almost always can blame a ball lost on your inability to control the ball (except for the left sling to right outlane 😉 ). I'm still going to have to play it a lot before I'm going to master the table. Well done RetroRichie on an excellent first release!

Thank you so much for sharing your work with us! I really love the Zaccaria tables. The ball physics are a huge improvement over the other version of Star God and also much better than the Zaccaria payed pinball version. Hopefully we can see other Zaccaria tables get a make over as good as this one.

I'd never heard of this table before and have only just got around to loading it up with the intention of playing for 5 minutes. I was still there an hour later which is testament to how great this pin plays. Physics are great and its challenging but perfectly pitched to make you want 'just one more go'! Looks great as well - thanks so much for an excellent recreation and brilliant addition to the vpx library
