Sleic Pin-BALL (Sleic 1994) was a 4 player pinball machine by Spanish company "Creaciones e Investigaciones Electrónicas, Sociedad Limitada", a.k.a Sleic. There already is a very basic version by javito that contains a sketched playfield in low-res quality. 

The Sleic article on IPDB says that the playfield was identical to "Petaco (Juegos Populares 1984)", but rules, gameplay and display indicate otherwise. From my perspective, Sleic have used an old Petaco table as a donor and added some of their own stuff including a DMD with animations and different rules. They have moved posts and gadgets and plastics around and even covered some of the inserts. Gameplay looks considerably different in the rare videos in comparison to Petaco.

There is a PinMame ROM set for the game "Sleic Pin-Ball" available for download, but I am not able to make it work. VpinMame doesn't take it into account, so it probably is broken or incomplete or omitted for some other reason from vpinmame. I have built my version on the Petaco ROM, but if anyone should get the dedicated Sleic Pin-BALL ROM to work I'm ready to re-build the table on that instead. Apparently, javito had the same issues, so his version is built on Petaco as well.

Losely based on Javito's playfield and some of the rare resources for the game I stitched something together, applied some AI upscaling and then re-drew and cleaned in a time-consuming process most of the playfield, plastics and primitives. 

I've then borrowed the "Petaco (Juegos Populares 1984)" code as a donor table and added the graphics I created and moved around things. Therefore, all credits for coding, physics, GI etc. goes to the authors of the Petaco table. I merely did the graphics job. A big "thank you" goes to the creators of the Petaco table JP Salas, MRCMRC, wiesshund and pedator for allowing me to use their code. They suggested that I should contact toxie as vpinmame maintainer regarding the ROM issue. I will do so later.

For now, the table is playable, but the playfield lighting doesn't match the ball hitting switches. It works fine with

The table and the DMD look great!  Once you fix the the ball getting stuck up top, It will be a perfect.  One change I recommend on the DMD, the match wheel shown on Petco is missing.  See my Backglass, for this table, for one way to add it to your DMD (https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=18619)

Response from the author:

Try the fantasy mode of the backglass to see the match feature. Since it was not there on the authentic Sleic machine I decided to move it to fantasy.

Thanks GauGau! Turnbull's funny review and your response led me to download this table. Not everything has to be a masterpiece and we can always adapt to different physics. Keep it up, pinman!

This physics comes from another planet, the gameplay doesn't feel like a pinball at all. I know, this goes out to the petaco authors. sorry, dudes.

 

But, at least one more star for the "special skill shot": If pulled the plunger to weak, the ball will forever remain in the top area without any chance to unlock it. Great thing, because now you're forced to leave the table.

Response from the author:

As proposed in the table announcement above, I have moved things around. The stuck ball therefor is probably something that I did and not the original table authors, so the mistake is on my end. I will try to figure out how the gate in the original table used to work and will release a fix.

I'm sorry that you had to quit the table and to have wasted so much of your precious time😜.
