Pinball on Ice!

 

Score a winning goal with ICE FEVER! This classic 1985 Gottlieb pinball machine comes from a time when there was more blood than sweat on the rink and everyone was still riding the high of the Miracle on Ice in 1980. While the machine may look simple, it plays fast and require precise shooting to really raise the score. One noticeable feature is the amazing sound effects of a crowd cheering in the arena and the buzzer of the goal when you make it past the Goalie Drop Targets.

My native country of Norway got a first time bronze medal in this years Ice Hockey World Championship. I still can´t believe this happened, and a rare event for sure. As a perfect aftermath, VPW has recreated this Gottlieb rarity,  Ice Fever. Hockey themed pinball games are as rare as this bronze,  and the recreation of Ice Fever utilizes VPX Lightmapper to the MAX. Damn this looks and plays great. A superfun and fast table that really gives the superb  feel of a hockey arena from the 80´s. Thank you so much for this @VPinWorkshop

What Teisen said, this is a work of art!! VLM makes this baby shine. She plays fantastic and the Fleep implementation is perfect, take a look at those gate animations up top too :) Thanks Mecha Enron for taking the lead and everyone else that chipped in, it's a keeper for sure......my Top 5 Playlist is now at 16 :)

Holy cow, what a surprise!

 

One of the very few hockey-themed pinball tables out there has finally received the facelift it deserved—and what an incredible makeover it got! I always had a guilty pleasure for the original version, but it was definitely showing its age. This new release is absolutely gorgeous and an instant must-have.

 

As a Canadian, I've always been surprised by the lack of hockey-themed pinball tables. There are only a handful that come to mind, including this one and Bobby Orr Power Play. In my opinion, this is easily the best hockey-themed table available, and the team absolutely knocked it out of the park.

 

I'll be spending a lot of time enjoying this one. Thank you to everyone who worked on this project—I truly appreciate the effort, passion, and craftsmanship that went into it.

 

VPW continues to set the gold standard in the virtual pinball community, and this table is a perfect example of why. This is a no-brainer addition to any collection.

 

Time to hit the ice! 🏒

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think the terribly bad performance on this table it's because it uses VLM maps for every single light/insert.

Response from the author:

VLM tables take more power to run than a basic vpx version, yes, but that's also why it looks better, having accurate reflections on all objects.

 

We strive to make the very best version of a machine, if it takes a more beefy PC to run it then so be it.

 

If your PC can't handle it then I'd suggest using an older version.

Not much that I can say from an Ice Hockey perspective but I what I do know is that VPW did their magic and brought this table to life. Great job as always.

This one is the most recently dearly departed around here, and what a nice surprise souvenir - during the Stanley Cup Finals! GO CANES!

 

Texture note: These had the "corrugated" side rails.

 

Thanks to all involved for this excellent work!
