Thanks to Bord for his excellent Blender magic that really makes these tables look photo-realistic.  Some of the renders took over 24 hours of processor time to complete so be sure to thank him for his work on this table.

Also thanks to Slydog43 who actually owns a 4MBC and scanned his plastics for us.  He also play tested the table to make 4MBC play as close to the real thing as possible.   Lastly thanks to KDS70 for testing the table out, I always feel like most all of the bugs are found once he’s put a table through the paces.

Four Million BC features a “Volcano” saucer that can trap a ball and release it with the right side mushroom bumper as well as a three stage “Tar Pit” that can be advanced with the center mushroom.  The top of the playfield features a “Bird Ramp” (really a reptile ramp) that lights the three Thumper Bumpers as well as scores 1000 points per roll over if the topmost rollover is hit and the ball doesn’t touch a 10 point scoring rubber.

The game also has “Zipper Flippers” and the lower roll over buttons activate either the left outlane kicker or open the shooter lane gate.

The table has my usual “Options Menu” that can be accessed when the game is in standby mode by holding down the left flipper button.  Please be aware that the “Chimes On” and “Chimes Off” selection refers to real DOF controlled chime units.  If you don’t have one of these please select “Chimes Off” for the recorded chime sounds.

Lastly, this table incorporates some new sound handling routines for under playfield speakers.  The various “Active Ball” controlled sounds have been tweaked to make them as realistic as possible in terms of pan/fade location as well as volume.  There is also a new PlayFieldSound routine is used to pass objects as the location for large object sounds like bumpers and gates.

Bord’s new B2S is included for ease of installation.  There is a new DOF online config for this table as of 6/16/18.

“Four Million BC, the table that proves that burlap is the world’s oldest fabric.”
