My fully rendered version of Ballys Strikes & Spares, a very early Solid State pinball game.
Another early Bally SS pin. It has chimes for sounds.But its great to look at
;)

I've added a "enhanced" mode, Bowling Ball Mode, where the shiny pinball becomes a black bowling ball, complete with finger holes. In this mode there are a few extra added sound effects.
As always, this table is completely adjustable (the dips are available), and you can set replay levels useing the '7' key.

Revision History and Credits:
Second Release v2.1

Added a wall to keep the ball out of the plunger trough, as suggested by RipleYYY. I honestly didnt know all the real tables had a block like that until I took a closer look at some pictures. DUH!!!

Now I gotta go back and update ALL my old tables.....

Also added a light-reflection of the ALane lite, in the top left gate, which I forgot to do.
