Another fun Bally EM Table.

 

Accumulate and collect a yellow bonus and a blue bonus.  The bonus resets when the turn ends.

This game has a lot of fun stuff :

A top gate to the shooter lane

A left outlane kickback

A right outlane gate back to the shooter lane

A "playmore" post between the flippers

 

There are a bunch of options on Page 3 of the F12 menu.  Including a high score saving piece of tape that a few people have asked for. 

Fun Fact: if you were playing this machine in 1971 you would have needed to use tape because post-it notes were not sold until 1980.

 

For version 1.0 there are a bunch of awesome Teisen improvements!

it's a good table i just wish it had a sticky note or tape on it like most ems have, you cant save your high score unless you write it down....

Another great recreation brought to life! 

Here is the IC and Flyer I upscaled for my front end, and a quick wheel. I also sent PinRich a new upscaled b2s.

you can!  With the table running hit F12 for the options menu and change this option to yes.  The table will save the high score even if it is not visible, but since the initials can't be entered it saves them for XFL.  image.png.b45d0137ef78b31f465919cb08373e4f.png

oh thanks!!!! i didnt think to look at that. I'm glad you put that in. They make the table so much better in my opinion, would you be able to implement that feature in your previous tables too? like expressway and camelot? i checked those like immediately lol and they dont have it though.

Great recreation ... very happy to see it in VPX. I own the real machine which needs some touchups.

 

Thank you very much 🥰

Thanks, I really like these old tables.  Wanted to offer some feedback if you're going to continue to update it.  I noticed that balls coming down from the top are getting funneled down the middle more often than you'd see on a real table.  Comparing to photos and videos of the real table, it looks like it's because the upper plastics (above each bonus hole) are a little wider than they should be, and the plastics at the flippers aren't as wide as they should be.  The bottom posts of the plastics behind each flipper should be closer to the point of the red shapes on the playfield.   These changes would tighten the flipper gap a bit and better align the geometry.

Love the DMD you have there! I didn't see it on the B2S files, can you tell me where you found it or did I just miss it? Thanks!

I made this from a screen grab, modified it using windows paint put it in my PinballY . Valen has made a new backglass  that is much clearer and has a better version on the side table are in the DMD .

Thank you, a fun table.

 

I added this in the table init section, to hide the rails and lockbar in cabinet mode:

 

    For each item in cRails
        If Table1.ShowDT then
            item.Visible = 1
        Else
            item.Visible = 0
        End If
    Next

 

I also set the FS Image to "Black" in the backglass view, so the background is all black when the table POV is set to not be stretched sideways.

Cute table, not easy to find in the wild. Resources must be hard to find for sure but you guys did a great job!

Of course I had to do some fixes of my own- first thing always is add SetLocale 1033 under Option Explicit and Randomize. 

Next I always have to remove Jeff's (loserman) extraneous screw head he always left floating in space. I believe it was screw047 this time. 

I added cab gaps, better rail prims, remove JP's silly rail shadow flashers, add glass channels. Mostly my eyes can't tolerate crooked plastics so I straightened those out on the sheet and redrew the acrylic walls to match. 

I'm always happy to see @teisen do his magic which gave me a good reason to do some of my own stuff. 

Happy to see you do the not so common stuff @PinRich! Thanks!

Cliffy, your adjustments always make a difference!

Damn, I saw that stray screw on the right side of the table and completely forgot to remove it... hahaha

I can't seem to get DOF working on this one...couldn't find it in the script - however dofconfig has 'seesaw' listed...Is there a different version of this with DOF?

Wow nice work! this turn out very good. Excellent lighting and very clean table.

I played around with the backglass and adjusted the image to fit better by cropping it and added my own reels with new a font that seems to be pretty close, I'm sure Hauntfreaks will make us one top notch. Try it if you want:
