scottacus Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I released a new version of Boomerang (Bally 1974) today with lots of updates from the previous version. My plan is to release a new or updated table everyday for the next five days. I have additional tables that are waiting on graphical updates but this is what I've got ready for release at this time. My plan is to bring all of my tables up to date and host them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider loserman76 Posted June 30, 2021 Content Provider Share Posted June 30, 2021 Would still love to see a Flicker come from this, but I know it is a longshot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottacus Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 @loserman76 you never know... @BrandonLaw Mazel tov! @JFR1 ask and you shall receive Today's release is the table that proves that Burlap is the world's oldest fabric! As with Boomerang this is a brand new update so if you have old table from 2017 that was hosted a VPinball and later brought here, you'll probably want to update to this one.

scottacus Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Today's table is one that I picked up in a "two beat up EM's for $300" deal a couple of years ago. Restoration included a repaint of the cab/head, new backglass, mechanical fixes and a lot of the playfield repainting and clear coat. I scanned the playfield and plastics before selling the machine so the geometry of the table is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottacus Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Well @Loserman76 todays the day you've been waiting for, it's Friday let's relax and go to the movies with Flicker! Only two more days left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottacus Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 You can thank @onevox for this table seeing the light of day. Without his crazy good graphics skills this table would join a long list of tables looking for artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottacus Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 It's the weekend and that means ROAD TRIP! Today's table is a 1964 gem called Grand Tour. I restored this table so all of the artwork and sounds are taken from the original and this vpx creation was played side-by-side next to the original to get the physics set just right. Tomorrow is the sixth day and July 4th, one more table to go for now so let's go out with a bang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlaschke21 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Awesome, scottacus! Thanks so much for your work. One question, just out of interest: Do you restore these for yourself or on request for other people? I mean the original ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottacus Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 I would love to restore tables for others but these are all tables that I've flipped. The market for pins is very hot right now so I've had no problems selling them and many like GT and Tropic Fun I'd like to keep but I have limited space for machines (about 3). Getting them running and restoring them is so much fun that I just keep moving them through. The side benefit is that I can scan the pf and plastics which is the absolute best way to get a high quality vpx table. The machines that I get are usually so beat up that I have to make a BG for them so I have 4k quality art for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottacus Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 Last day today, it's been a lot of fun releasing these tables and I'll be having more to come. Making tables is a blast and a big part of that fun is collaboration with others on these. Bord is awesome to work with, Onevox is super talented and Whirlwind knows and understands sound like no one else. The really cool part is that we work on each others tables so I've written the scripts for many of Bord's EM's (options menu, sound system, physics, tight code) and in parts of Onevox's tables as well. Todays' table is one that I've never seen or played before but the artwork was awesome and the rule set looked good via the schematic so I decided to make it from scratch to see how it plays. I made the playfield in Inkscape, harvested the bg from Wildman and Bord did his Blender magic. Welcome to "The Wiggler"! NOTE: If you have the older version you'll probably want to download this one to upgrade to the newest system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
