How does that nasty Grinch do it?  Come get a lesson from the master himself!

Shoot the mountain, steal from the Whos, and maybe find the true meaning of Christmas.

Big thanks to Wylte for letting me mod the table and all the other authors in the credits. Also thanks to scutters for continued scripting and flex help! I made many changes to make this table easier so that it could be played on the more difficult settings. The right flipper Now controls the rollover lights and there's also a gate to make completing them easier. The drop-down targets are a little bit easier to hit. If you like and enjoy the original robot table like I do you'll want to change the ROM name in The Script to use one of the other ROMs. No ROM sounds are you so it doesn't matter which language the ROM is in.

Place everything in this "tables" folder in your tables folder. 

Place the Music\Grinch folder in your music folder

Place the nvram in the nvram folder.  Tthe one included is for a five ball game.  If you prefer three, delete or rename the 5 ball version, and change the file name to "robot"

If you already have and enjoy Zaccaria's Robot, then change the name of the rom in the script to either roboti or robotg and also rename the nvram accordingly.  These are the german and italian roms and save you from having to deal with alias settings.

I have a few animations still to add, and this may still have some bugs, but I wanted this out by Christmas.  In particular, there is a delay after the last ball drains and the bonus is counted so the rom can say "return to base" I have a plan for that. Please share bug reports in the comments or PM me.

Merry Christmas!

Another pinball masterpiece and my new favorite Christmas decoration! The visuals are fantastic - I love it when the tree bases are flashing and the call-outs really bring out the grinchiness. Great music, fun play, and all around wonderful table. Thank you for all the work and details that went into it - my heart grew three sizes after I played!

Super addictive!  This table received many plays on it Christmas Eve with the family visiting (4 or 5 hours of relatives playing).

Music and call-outs are fantastic!

Response from the author:

Hearing this makes my heart sing! Glad it added something to the holiday!
