The pinball that fights back.

 

This classic 1980 widebody from Gottlieb will have you fighting against aliens to keep your bonus alive. As the rockets come raining down on your playfield, you must destroy them by dropping all of their targets. The quicker your stop them, the better the reward.

 

This table includes all the bells and whistles of a modern VPX table including VPW's toolkit visuals, Nfozzy physics, and Fleep sounds.

 

This includes two downloads:
1) Counterforce (Gottlieb 1980) -  a full feature table with desktop, cabinet, and VR modes
2) Counterforce (Gottlieb 1980) Basic - a trimmed down VR-less version for quicker load times and smaller file size

 

The original Counterforce was a 6-digit system holding us back from our true potential of millions of points. As such, line 53 in the script is set to RomSet=1 by default enabling 7-digit gameplay. This requires both cntforce.zip and cntforc7.zip roms. If you would like to stay true to the 6-digit, change RomSet to a value of 0.

 

I couldn't have made this without lots of help.
Special thanks to Balater for his original Counterforce provided guidance especially on coding the rockets, UnclePaulie, cyberpez, and BorgDog for the 6-digit/7-digit debacle, carny_priest for alerting me to the 7-digit rom, and the VPW team for the other 95% of it.
Thanks to Studlygoorite, apophis, DGrimmReaper, tomate, Lumi, somatik and many more for playtesting.

Released

PHYSICS UPDATE

  • Increase slope from 5.5 to 6
  • Matched upper flipper physics to lower

These changes are subtle but after a couple notes regarding the difficulty, it felt necessary.

Houahou. Great Job. Everything is fine with the gameplay and the design. And this addictive sound of the 80's ! Just the "Lottery" at the end of the game that doesn't work. I didn't find anything in the setting to validate that feature.

Another Gottlieb table I never knew of and didn't know I wanted. A beauty to behold. Plays great, and have extremely addictive gameplay. I keep firing at and I keep missing that  last  drop target. Still tons of fun! Another win made by the Gottlieb king @Mecha_Enron

Tricky right flipper...

 

I wasn't aware of this wide body gem, but what a table!  This creation is so well-crafted and plays like an absolute dream.  I'm a huge fan of the solid state era and wide bodies in general, and this table plays fast and loose!

 

Well done @Mecha_Enron and all those who contributed to this amazing addition, and shoutout to @hauntfreaks for the fantabulous backglass!  This is one I haven't been able to stop playing.

 

In short, it's TOPS and I dig it!

First of all, I congratulate you and thank you for the great quality of your work. I really like the Gottlieb tables that were released between 1980 and 1981. The work you have done is impressive and certainly very time- and effort-intensive. The overall lighting of the table is excellent and reminds me of the real pinball machine. Thank you very much for your efforts.

I have a few small remarks, if you allow me. I could correct them myself, but out of respect for your work, I prefer to leave the opportunity to you as the author.

if it would be possible to improve the overall speed of the ball, as well as the power of the flippers, and maybe—just maybe—the flipping speed. Also, it should be possible in this table to hit the right targets with the right flipper.

Other than that, I have no further remarks for now, except to say that this is excellent work that deserves great applause and demonstrates the author's keen attention to detail. Bravo!
