VP8 SS Original Table Fish Frenzy also modded for play with the 'A' key

[faralos]

Fish Frenzy, a vp8 table made by Rod Utting & Chris Leathley in 2001 has been modded to play using just the 'A' key. as these tables get finished they are going into the download area under originals. Some of them are recreations but i am grouping them all together here and over at vpf in the 'original table' areas. less confusion this way imo
i have tried for the past month to get permission for these tables to be modded. some table authors I still can't locate. so if they see the tables, please rest assured that nothing in the actual table play or the table itself (save for the middle post) has been changed. this is just another version of your tables, set up for easier play for people with limited movement. Except for fish frenzy where I adjusted the table slope, all others will play (hopefully!) the same. If I must make any changes to actual gameplay this will be noted in the table info from now on. I hope all the authors are ok with these mods, I guess I'll find out...
I must pull this table down from the site as i have not gotten permission to mod the pin from them. sorry for that guys.
so i am looking for Rod Utting & Chris Leathley they made the table back in 2001

Chris Leathley is Black, the author of the Future Pinball program.

cool that clears that up. now as to locating him... he may be as tough to get ahold of as Randy Davis is, but I'll try... the other guy is named Rod Utting aka Rocketman

I never heard of Rod Utting aka Rocketman. But if I recall, if you get permission from Black that will be enough.

Black lives in Australia! I found an email addy on his site that someone posted over at vpf. Iemailed him today (apparently he and Rocketman are buddies!) so hopefully if he gets the email he then can contact rocketman or just give me the permission to publicly post the table. it is finished but i can't publicly post it yet, However i do have permission to give it out per a pm to me if anyone wants it for their PRIVATE use. the other tables i have gotten permission from their authors (the ones I had asked so far anyways!) so that table may be the only one that does not get a public re-posting. Noah is making a separate download area at vpf for the tables once they get done. of course, I'll also load them up here for those of you who do not visit over there. many of these tables are older ones that Petunia has so they also will be dusted off and brought out into the open once again, maybe pulling more people into the hobby! so far the list includes but is not limited to: 3 Stooges, Goonies, Circus World, Close Encounters, Elvis, Fish Frenzy, Peanuts (mine, the only newer one... i modded it for vp8 since it was a vp9 table) and quite a few others! she did say she has over 100 tables but is drawing the line at around 20!
she uses vp7 so each table must work in that. i only have vp8 but am not changing anything major to the tables so they should still work with her vp7.

What is the download?

What is the download?

Looks like Faralos never got permission to share the table publicly.

Fortunately, sounds like it was a very, very simple 'mod' indeed.
