Dedicated to JPH, it's got lotsa drop targets, perhaps a bit modern and fast for your tastes, do you have a widescreen monitor? It's a very undemanding VP9 game so should run easily even on older hardware.

*update to remove gate supports and improve shooter lane shot.

Thanks for TheGyruss StevOz, just played 2 games and am hooked but failing miserably with the flippers, the game owes me a couple of saves.

Love all of the targets!

 

[StevOz]

Thanks Jon, though actually I need to update it and I've forgotten how or can't see that option. The gates need to have the supports unticked or else the ball can get stuck sometimes, new stupid VP9 feature I never knew about, since when did gates even have supports?

Don't know about the gate supports but Thanks much for uploading the table and the newer VP9 version. The original download needs to be deleted and then upload the new version, not an update but since a long time ago updates weren't changing their dates and it created problems.

 

[StevOz]

AH OK I can do that then, cheers for the info Jon, I'll fix it up then, the shooter lane works much better with them removed. Gate supports, what a stupid idea, I can't think of any real pinball machine that even has gate supports, crazy stuff.

 

[StevOz]

Ok file updated new version uploaded with Gate adjustments to prevent possible ball jam and improve shooter lane shot.

Cool, Jon now has VP9.1.2

I wonder if he gave my Beatles table a play. :)

The Gyruss table is fun, it still needs modern posts and rubbers to complete the visual update.

 

[StevOz]

Those are modern posts and rubbers, very modern 1 piece injection molded rubbers and the posts feature upper rubber grommets for extra plastics protection, the rubbers also reduce air balls (patent pending).

 

[faralos]

why do the rubbers look like they are squared off on the sides?
other than that it looks cool!

That's the way I made it, those squared off rubbers you allude to are walls exactly calculated to be in those precise positions. Sure they could be made invisible and superficial rounded rubber images applied and rendered over these, though fact of the matter is it would not change the intended game play one bit and I think they look fine as is. Yes I actually use a calculator to formulate my layouts.

It is in my short list of favorites. I created an icon and created a shortcut.

No mod except for my favorite ball. A damn fine original.

Actual size at extra large icons. They work at any format. I only made three so far.

Glad you like it Phil, I have got one other original that you may like to try TMNT available here..
