Skyscraper (Bally 1934)

Skyscraper is a beautiful art deco style machine from Bally (1934). One of the first to use insert lighting incorporated into the skyscraper model that acts as a totalizer. Consider this an LED superbright mod -- the original ran off batteries and was very dim. Whether by design or by accident, the lights on the original would bleed out through the building model and I thought it looked great, so incorporated that into this version.

The goal is simple: light up as many floors as you can. The top beacon is worth 1500 but also a 2x score modifier. The wheel spinner seeds your initial score; the green/red bonus spaces on the wheel were for local establishments and their use was a bit vague -- likely used in wagering/bonuses used in the venue. There are a few tweak menu options to change that -- by default, the red/green bonus do nothing aside from their stated points, but can be changed to either extra balls (1 or 2 extra balls), or points modifier (2x/3x). Tweak option also allows you to stop the wheel with the left flipper button.

Thank you to the VPW and Super Titled communities -- amazing and selfless talent all around sharing their expertise. Every time I had to rebake due to some error or tweak that was needed, I added an animation to the backglass as a sort of penance. 😐 With some luck, @hauntfreaks might create a more authentic backglass.
