I love Dozers version of this table. But, the preview looks great so I have a feeling that my cab will end up with two different versions of this table.

Thank you very much.

Looks nice! Eager trying it out. Thanks!!

[stefanaustria]

Nice … i also love Dozers Version - Looks like the Download isnt available anymore, i think i know the reason …

[Ecktown]

Looks great. I am looking forward to playing this version. I don't know, there is something about the Gottliebs of this era. I guess it must be the music ?

I really hope that someone will take on TX Sector some day!

I would love to try that version as well since more people are telling it is such a wonderful table.
I can't seem to find it either?

Download Source is offline.

But this Version is just great also

Thank you!

[VPUThomas]

Table looks and plays fantastic... however, when playing with three players, if any player before you locks a ball up top, when their turn is over, and the next player steps up, the game is hosed.  I believe the ball count gets messed up.  I sure hope someone can fix this sometime as this is a real hidden gem of a game and is absolutely gorgeous.  

[Retromanlives]

Yes, like Techy Thomas said, If more than a single player game is in play, the locked ball locks up the game. It basically loses ball count. 

 

Ambitious side note:

I will need a layout for the playfield drilled out holes location for original playfield showing hole locations for the popbumpers, switches, ball trough, droptarget banks and so on. This is needed to input file dimentions into a cnc machine to perfectly cut a brand new Robowar playfield.  Maybe someone on here can help?
