Unlike the Chicago Coin version, this one has nice artwork
1985? by Barni of Spain, PF is on second page

I haven't found a flyer for it, but the ROM is available

'tis from 1985, ROM is here ...

& that's all I could find on it

saw the backglass. didn't quite notice if there was PF shot stashed in there somewhere.

BG is on first page, second page has PF pics

i lik3 it! classic-type layout, nice art as you say... fun, vibrant color theme... but not an overload on the eyes. there's a table that comes @fter with too much orange IMO.

i wonder if destruk & crew have plans for it seeing ROM available.

do-able with that PF pic ?

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

it's been a while since i've been up on these things, but IIRC there are three main routes in that situation:

1) you deconstruct the whole thing in PS / etc into the various layers, compensate for perspective issues, redraw various areas as needed until you have something that almost looks like someone took a straight-on pic of a stripped PF and the plastics.

2) you keep the original photo as an total screen overlay and build the table behind it.

3) you just sort of bowb your way through it, try to minimise the worst-looking areas and come up with something that's playable but nobody's going to be going back to after a few initial plays.

Is that something like Scapino's way?
I've done the perspective thing with PF in Gimp
& it's on blank VP table as a mock up, in above pic

 

[faralos]

Patch if you already got it in a mockup in vp
why stop there? just add the coding to it and you're done
or drop it into a table template (itchigos come to mind)
or post it so someone else can work on it
that's a real purty build too if'n ya' ask me
it can also be done romless since it looks to be an easy table

I really started this thread as an FYI, as possibly not commonly known of, since not listed at IPDB
I've got no intentions of building it. If someone wants the straightened pic to work with
they're welcome ... cheers

mate, if you don't get around to asking destruk directly, you're pretty much just fishing without a lure on this stuff. FYI.

Huh??? no fishing attempts from this end. No reading between the lines crap either. It's simply as I've stated above
I do believe it is not protocol to hound authors with build requests either -
but SOMEONE ELSE may be interested, & they can take it from there if they want.
I do not believe there's anything wrong with finding something & sharing it

No response Nicholas ... oh well, ho hum

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

sorry.... that was uncalled for. dunno why i said that.
kinda wanted a girl tonight... she slipped away in end. bad mood, i guess.

tall frosty one on me, patch.

Looks fun. Would like to make it sometime, but I have a few to finish, and I can't code vpm. Don't lose the pics!
