This is a graphics and sound mod of Fire Action De Lux (Taito 1983) v4.0.
IPD No. 4552
THIS TABLE IS DEDICATED TO MY BROTHER DAN!!!
This table is based on a SciFi movie named "The Last Starfighter" made in 1983.
While TRON stole most of the thunder just the year before for groundbreaking special effects, The Last Starfighter was made with the best special effect technology at the time.
It is also a great story!! What video game junkies only dream about!!
Being recruited to a space force because you are good at playing a video game!!!
(I am still waiting for Skywalker to come pick me up, as I am a damn good X-Wing pilot on Playstation!! lol)
Anyways, Video Game master gets recruited to spaceforce, saves the world and possibly the galaxy!!
Who wouldn't love it!!
There are 2 versions available.
All of the following changes are on both versions, except the Pup version has animated apron videos.
v1.01 PUP
Moved the "holes" for the right slingshot from the playfield, to under right slingshot.
Added a lighting effect "under" the explosions animations.
Added holes and wood areas in the playfield under the 6 targets.
Added a very light "shadow" to the playfield art for the plastics.
Re-worked the apron preparing it for the pup version.
Translated the instruction card to english and moved it to the right.
Shifted some art around on the apron to accommodate.
Added "white" under the plastics on the playfield, and adjusted some lights to line up in the holes.
Made the wire thickness of the roll-overs thinner.
Ball Shadows were playing on exact same plane as playfield, so script was editted and there is no flickering now.
Added Pup Videos that are played on the apron. Put the pup pack in your PupVideos folder.
v1.0
Added 156 sound FX and Music.
Added Fluppers Flashers.
Backwall graphics can be toggled with the Buy-In key. (2 key)
LUT's toggled with Left and Right Magna-Save keys.
DonRutler made the 3D Gunstar Ship.
HiRez00 added 2 explosion animations and did all graphics.
An animated Apron version is in the works so stay tuned!
Place LStarfighter folder in your music folder located where you installed Visual Pinball.
