Get ready for a world tour with the one and only Harlem Globetrotters!

 

Inspired by his love of playing this game in league play, mcarter78 decided to take Mikcab’s mod of the JPSalas original through the blender toolkit and returned with this beauty. Rebuilt from the rim to the floor, this brutal but fun early Bally solid state offers all the challenge and reward of the era. Aside from the updated graphics (playfield from Clark Kent, cabinet art from DaRdog), animations (apophis), and physics, you’ll also find a new VR room where you can play on the streets of New York like an aspiring Globetrotter. Thanks to everyone who helped this one along the way! Enjoy!

   mcarter78 - Point Guard (Project Lead, Blender Toolkit, Physics, Sound, Code, VR mega room)

Do yourself a favor people and download this baby. It's a top 5 favorite of mine and I was so happy when Rajo Joey did his VR update 3 years ago and then again when JP did his 3.0 update that made the playfield look that much better. Then Mikcab did his Fleep and nFozzy update and I couldn't control myself. Today I am blown away, this baby is FANTASTIC, it plays perfect, looks perfect and feels perfect....hard to tell the difference between the real thing and this table in VR, and the basketball court and city in the background looks awesome. Thanks to all involved.

An absolute Slam Dunk by the VPinWorkshop!!!

One of my favorite pins of all time, and it thrills me to see it get the VPW treatment!

Everything about this new release is A-1; Top-Notch; Chef's Kiss perfect!!!

 



POSITIVES: Excellent, spot-on artwork; dynamite lighting; hyper-realistic sounds; a variety of individual table options; and some of best physics of any table I've played.

I can't comment on the VR (I wish I could!) but from everything I've read, that is excellent as well!

But to me, the physics are the big standout.  The feel of this table is unprecedented when it comes to realism and accuracy. The ball behaves as exactly as you expect it to, and I can't think of anything more complimentary when it comes to Virtual Pinball.
 

NEGATIVES: (This page left blank intentionally)



Get it now. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Do not double-dribble.

A joy to play ! I already loved Mikab's version a lot, this one adds new flavor to it. Gameplay is great. I think I will keep both.
Thank you for the hard work on the table, Much appreciated

I don't know much about the physics of these games, normally can't tell good from bad, but this table just feels right!  I went back and played the old one an wow!  I really feel like I'm flipping a real pinball, I can feel the weight of the ball.  This really feels like a physical table.  Of course it looks fantastic too!  VPW and JP have done just an amazing job! Thank you all!

I'm getting an error related to the ROM and it says: VBScript - Machine 'hglbtrtb' (Harlem Globetrotters (7 -digit conversion)) terminated before initialized, check the ROM path or ROM file!

Response from the author:

You need both roms: hglbtrtr.zip and hglbtrtb.zip

Late discovery for this VPW table !
Oh man I love your work ! It's history of pinball, and so difficult to play on these kind of beauty in real !
It's absolutely perfect on the pincab,
Please do more of these !

Always looking forward to the next VPW release, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Was supposed to just test it out and go to bed but then of course played for an hour. Smooth and beautiful. The only issue is the city basketball court VR room made me feel a little uneasy like some liminal space thing or something, so I just took the table to my cool 90’s room and will discuss with my therapist. Thanks for the hard work!
