Counterforce (Gottlieb 1980)

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.
