View File Big Game (Stern 1980) - redbone(MOD) Today is my first MOD release with permission granted by jpsalas. I'm very new to this scene and the intention of my modifications to this table is mainly to upgrade the most visible graphics making a 4k+ experience more enjoyable. I concentrate heavily on the playfield and plastics first. Some of the plastics were merged, tweaked, and extended to better match the playfield without steering far from the originals. Bumpers and little things like the details in spinners second. Then I checked out a broad view of lighting and a few where I think it was lacking under the plastics. Lastly I did a little flair lighting with the claws on the tiger and face of the tiger between the flippers. Below is a full list of mods that I can recall. I'd like to thank JP for being so open and sharing of his table and bigus1 for guidance. It is my hope one day that he will include my playfield and plastics into his mainline release for this classic table - BIG GAME (Stern 1980).

Please read that link. ***Fix for "blurp" is to press F6 in game and change dip switch for "Background Sound" to ON*** https://www.ipdb.org/files/249/Stern_1980_Big_Game_Corrections_to_Game_Manual_March_1980.pdf All other functions included in JP's 4.0.0 version should still be intact. -redbone ------------------------------------------------------------------------- jpsalas' table info/log/notes below this line ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks inkochnito for the dip switch routine. log: 4.0.0 Updated 7.9.2022 - Updated to my VPX7 physics - cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table - Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL).
