Solar Ride (Gottlieb 1979)(EM)
this is no longer a patch... we now realize it was to early of a release for this to be a patch
so now we are offering the table as a mod of JP's Solar Ride (Eletromatic 1982) to Solar Ride (Gottlieb 1979)(EM)
this also has the newest JP script changes
a patch to convert JP's Solar Ride (Eletromatic 1982) to Solar Ride (Gottlieb 1979)(EM)
this is the first patch brought to you by: EMUnderdogs
the reason its a patch and not just a table mod, and that is out of respect for JP since he just released the table
I hope this will shed more light on reasons to use the patching system instead of hi-jacking builders tables
description/credit of what has been done to the table (can also be found at the top of the script)

I didn't think we would ever see the EM version of Gottlieb's Solar Ride, it seemed so obscure, amazing work with the patch etc, Many thanks :)
