“Making money for you in the short run and over the long haul”

TRUCK STOP captures America at its most manic, and spins it on eighteen big rubber wheels... The player (truck driver) is pitted against the Interstate System and other gearjammers. The truck route winds between five proud cities of the sun belt and rust belt: LA, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, and New York. Each has its own spirit and its own adventure. The player must show his true grit over long stretches of open road. A long rank of gasoline is a job. And it's power, light, and the way back home.

 

Who said I can only make Gottlieb tables? I present Bally’s classic 1988 Truck Stop featuring everyone’s most asked for features: 2-ball multiball, scantily clad diner waitresses, and truck horn sounds. This machine was the first of a new merger between Bally and Williams which can be seen in the various parts such as the Williams lower flippers and Bally upper flippers.

 

At the center of the playfield is the City card. The goal is to complete your card in order to enter the progressive Jackpot hurry-up. Complete a “City” (LA, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, New York) by collecting each letter in the column above it. A letter can be collected at each ramp along with a “Spot Letter” mushroom bumper. Players can also complete the six blue standup targets for an automatic “Spot City”. Once all cities have been ‘spotted’, the Jackpot mode begins and you have limited time to spell CITY to claim your big points! This table may seem simple enough but you’ll find its not for the faint of heart. And don’t let those lot lizards distract you.

 

And as a special treat, ebor has graced us with a beautiful color DMD that can be found here!

-Brand new scanned playfield

-VLM and VPW's toolkit visuals

-Nfozzy physics

Wow, I am super impressed by this!

The eye candy is fantastic: the modelled ramps, all the assets, the beautiful light. Wow.

The gameplay also is very impressive: physics are the chef's kiss. Plays great!

This is a very fun table. The drop targets and flipper angles are perfect for my cabinet.

Awesome, new to me, table. I had never played, nor heard of it, so it was a pleasant surprise. After playing in VR and in my cab this baby is going right into my favorites, it looks and plays great....and the Fleep is well done, oh and the VR room is perfect for the table and appreciated. Thanks to all who had a hand in this.

This table is god tier. An unbelievable effort and right up there with Diner, for me, as a truly authentic representation of real life pinball. Every detail about this is perfection. THANK YOU!!

I love when these often overlooked lesser-known tables get treated like they are just as worthy as the titles everyone knows and loves. Really makes the VPX library so much deeper and richer... so THANKS for taking this one on! I've always kinda liked it but never had a version that I wanted to play until now. CHEERS! 🍻

Wow man, excellent work the visuals are so crisp! THANK YOU for adding in Fleep sounds and then the F12 options for the middle post AND the capnclaw sideblades as well!

Amazing table, the artwork was so meticulous restored, it all looks so perfect and real, amazing!
Ball handling spot on, it's one of those rare tables where i forget i'm playing a vpx and not the real thing!

There should be a 6star option for beauties like this!
