Space Mission came out in the year of the U.S Bicentennial. I remember that year and can tell you that the air was heavy with patriotism and this pinball machine, featuring the U.S. Apollo spacecraft, hews closely to the zeitgeist of 1976. (Although it also features the USSR's Soyuz spacecraft - depicting an event, the Apollo-Soyuz rendezvous, that had occurred the year before in 1975).


Unusual features of this four-player, EM (electro-mechanical) table include a swinging target in the center of the playfield and the two ball kickers on either side of the flippers (watch people play the real table - they let the ball roll off the flipper into these kickers for extra points). Also, a spinner in the upper-left is fun to rocket through, and see if you can orbit the Super Bonus Advance in the upper-right.

 

The Space Mission table is (at the time of this writing) #4 in the top-10 for electro-mechanical pinball. The two-player version of this table is called Space Odyssey.
 

This is a community, EM table, originally created by the late Loserman76. We are indebted to him for, by my count, over 200 VPX tables.

 

My changes to Loserman76's table, this version 1.1, add Fleep sounds and new sound code. The table now plays much better on cabinets with SSF (surround-sound feedback).

A great version of what is one of my fav EM cabs, both in the real world and VP.  It's just one of those games where every shot can make something fun happen; somehow easy and super hard at the same time. 

 

Sounds absolutely fantastic on my 7.1 system.  Just awesome upgrade on a table that totally deserves it. 

 

Thank you for the work and for sharing with us!

 

Obviously looks great too.  I do have one question - on the other version I was rocking (which I  presume was by Loserman) it had different caps for the bumpers (different color for sure and maybe different style).    Any way, I have gotten very used to looking at those other caps (b/c I played the crap out of that earlier version) and would to see them on this table; is there an easy way to swap out caps/change their color? 

 

Thanks again!

Response from the author:

You're probably thinking of Space Odyssey — the two (?) player version of this table. And, yes, Loserman76 did that as well.

From what I read the different machines actually did have different capon the pop-bumpers. So I think what Loserman76 did was accurate.

 

I'm sure you can go in and swap the artwork for the caps though. You'd have to get comfortable with VPX, opening tables, go into Image Resources and exporting/importing the correct artwork.
