Night Rider (Bally 1977)

This is a great find, a fun predecessor to Truck Stop, thanks for cleaning it up, plays great!

Having played Night Rider a few weeks back, I can tell you that this virtual table needs to be at a higher incline to make the ball a bit more floaty and slow down the ball speed. The table has a fair amount of issues including the ball getting stuck in the Bonus Slot on Ball 1 if you do not hit any bumpers beforehand...unable to nudge it out. Other times the hole will randomly launch the ball out with the force of a full plunge.

The table will lose all bounce from slingshots and rubbers about every 10 games. 

Ball clips and gets stuck on the top of the plunger lane's gate.

Do the bumper nubs on the upper lanes stick out that much on the real game? I don't remember that. The ball speed also causes the game to be a drain monster from time to time when the ball hits the top of the slingshots causing the balls to jump out the outlanes more than the real thing.

so yeah, bottom line is the speed is unrealistic causing the table to not play like the irl.

The table does look great tho. I did turn up the brightness on it bc as another user stated it is very dim, but so is the original.

excellent. thank you!

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing!

It's good to have you back!

hugs

Love these old tables. Ball gets stuck repeatedly at top right when fully launched. Dislodges easily with a nudge. Other than that great game play on this table. One suggestion, the plastics lighting in general is pretty dim. It could use brightening by a great deal and also illuminate the playfield as lt doesn't seem to be doing that at all. Thanks!!!
