Time Machine (Data East 1988)

You're entering another dimension!

This was the first Data East game I ever played.
Stepping up to this felt so elite.
The sound is top notch and the flow is tough but fair.
The rules are simple but very addictive, I am having so much fun while playing it every time!

This table requires VP 10.8 and VPinMame 3.6.

I feel the need to say that from now on I also support the new sideblade community.
You can use the options menu with the F12 key to enable the option Legends Cabinet to use the bigger sideblade option and a second ini file has been added to make it fit.
This ini file is only needed if you want to use this option.
I do ask in return to not see this being patched even when I release it as free to mod.
Feel free to reach out to me instead if you want extra art added.
If somebody would ignore this I would be crushed...
When people release patches mere days after the original got released I feel these people need to reflect on what they are doing because it's not the right way!
In all fairness I feel nobody should touch somebody's work for at least a month after it's initial release.
When people add a simple thing and also don't reach out and just make these patches people will feel excluded and dismissed for what they added to the table.
Also when it's not working on other platforms then a cabinet it's a broken patch to begin with.
This table is showing how all can be merged into one and I am willing to help others to show the right way!
Nobody should be excluded, this ain't VP9 anymore after all.

Update v.2.2:
With the official releases of VP 10.8 and VPinMame 3.6 I decided to give this one final update.
I added a new apron with extra custom instruction cards.
I added many more LUT options then ever before.
I also included an extra option for people suffering from issues with anaglyph 3d and headtracking.
I only recommend using this option when really needed, because we found out it does have a performance impact.
And DGrimmReaper provided an updated backglass for VR using assets from hauntfreaks.
