It's Bally's El Toro.  I don't think anyone would call this their favorite table, but I'm starting to like it.

 

There are not a lot of extra features like DOF or an options menu.  You have my permission and encouragement to improve this table.

 

Please let me know if you find something that doesn't work or is not accurate to the real machine.  I already found a couple cosmetic things that I need to fix.

 

I should have noted this before:  I started this table by stripping down the Hang Glider table because I really liked the feel of that machine, and I also used resources from Flip Flop, Fireball, Capersville and Sea Ray.  Probably a few other EM tables too.   A lot of people have done really nice recreations of Bally tables and that made this one easier.  A lot of ideas got reused on multiple tables, so it helped to look at others. 

 

This was a lot of fun to work on, but I feel like I need a break from El Toro for a while!

 

Some stuff that an ambitious person could add:
-  The manual mentions several jumper options for awarding a bonus - see IPDB
-  High Score sticky note
-  LUT selector
-  DOF
-  More complex physics (like nFozzy)
-  Better art.  Match the lettering font better while you are at it. 

     * Fun story - at one point I was having trouble finding resources and I thought about making my own theme as "El Taco."  I also considered "El Zoro" but then I found out there are two "R"s in Zorro (and it might be copyrighted).
-  Accurate apron score cards
-  VR stuff

-  Correct anything else that doesn't match real table.  Either I didn't know and guessed or I made a mistake.  For example - I wasn't sure where the bulbs were on the real backglass, so I just guessed.

Some amazing visual improvements thanks to Teisen and lolzilla.  I'm afraid my only contribution was that I removed an extra wire ramp that was hidden below the apron.

Someone had to do it and I'm glad that you did. 🙂 Hard to believe this is the first-ever version! I know it's very much a hated game, but I have real nostalgia for it because a friend had a non-working version in his house and we always thought the artwork was cool as hell. So this will be the first time I've ever actually played any version of it. Thanks! 🍻 (Love to see it get fleep/nfozzy at some point.)

Stunning visually and fun to play! I wouldn't change ball physics as it's perfect for this layout. Thank you to all the authors, I really crave more of these classic EMs from my diaper onesie era.
