It's show boat!  An interesting table that tried some innovative ideas.  Four Flippers on the bottom, six pop bumpers, and 4 gates turned so that they are pretty much impossible to hit from the flippers.  There's also a chance to earn a second match number at the end, by hitting all three A, B, and C outlanes.

 

I could only find a couple videos on YouTube but they did have some good details.  I guessed the rules based on what was shown, so hopefully I'm mostly accurate.

 

There are some options on the F12 menu, including showing high score and using the manual ball lifter.  It looks like the real game has a manual ball lift, but I defaulted it to do an automatic one because many people are confused by it.  I know I was at one time.

 

Let me know if you find anything that is broken or isn't accurate.  There's always something...

 

Thanks to others, there are a couple nice looking B2S backglass files available.  Thanks!

 

*Feel free to modify or improve this table.

What's New in Version 0.1   See changelog

Released

By default the "score to beat" on the backglass will be the previous high score.  There's an option on the F12 menu to leave it constant instead - which I think is more like the real machine.

Other Minor changes:

I updated the lighting a bit to make the bumper tops brighter

The A, B, and C lights at the bottom are more orange now, which I think is a little more accurate.

I redid the Blue passive bumper.  I also changed the colors on the flippers a bit to not be so plain.

One of the great things  about VPX for me is that we are able to see and play tables we'll (almost) never see or be able to play in real life.

And this is certainly one of them, thanks for giving this oppertunity to see and play it on VPX!

An interesting early EM Table from Gottlieb, the innovative ideas are interesting but those flippers being operated like that are so confusing, glad they didn't persist with that idea. Nice Table, looks and plays well on my cab thank you very much for sharing it.
