Truck Stop (Bally 1988)

---

“Making money for you in the short run and over the long haul”

TRUCK STOP captures America at its most manic, and spins it on eighteen big rubber wheels... The player (truck driver) is pitted against the Interstate System and other gearjammers. The truck route winds between five proud cities of the sun belt and rust belt: LA, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, and New York. Each has its own spirit and its own adventure. The player must show his true grit over long stretches of open road. A long rank of gasoline is a job. And it's power, light, and the way back home.

 

Who said I can only make Gottlieb tables? I present Bally’s classic 1988 Truck Stop featuring everyone’s most asked for features: 2-ball multiball, scantily clad diner waitresses, and truck horn sounds. This machine was the first of a new merger between Bally and Williams which can be seen in the various parts such as the Williams lower flippers and Bally upper flippers.

 

At the center of the playfield is the City card. The goal is to complete your card in order to enter the progressive Jackpot hurry-up. Complete a “City” (LA, Denver, Dallas, Chicago, New York) by collecting each letter in the column above it. A letter can be collected at each ramp along with a “Spot Letter” mushroom bumper. Players can also complete the six blue standup targets for an automatic “Spot City”. Once all cities have been ‘spotted’, the Jackpot mode begins and you have limited time to spell CITY to claim your big points! This table may seem simple enough but you’ll find its not for the faint of heart. And don’t let those lot lizards distract you.

 

And as a special treat, ebor has graced us with a beautiful color DMD that can be found here!

Thank you for the nice table.

I don't know how to enter the service menu to enable "Free Play". Any hints?

You first need to "open" the coin door. Unless you modified key assignments this is done with the End key. Press end once to open the coin door then press 9 (above the letters, don't use 9 on the numpad) to enter the service menu.

Great table, but I can't seem to adjust the VR room LightLevel. I tried values between 0 and 1. Also tried 100. The room stays very dark and you can hardly see any details. What am I doing wrong?
