Air Aces is a really fun drop target shooting gallery pinball by Bally from 1975.
A while back Updon contacted me about building out a Bally Air Aces redraw that he was working on. Scottacus was on board for scripting/rules and the project took off from there.
There is an options menu for replay/EB, ball shadow, coin/free play, 3/5 ball, etc. if you hold the left flipper during Game Over.
B2S included.
Updon: redraw Scottacus: script, menu, rules Bord: table & graphics, backglass
Requires 10.6+
1.0
1.0.1 Some script and sound fixes, new POV
2.0 New lighting and physics, now requires 10.6

Thought I’d share a fun project that was initiated by my 6 year-old son. He wanted to design his own game and picked an Air Aces retheme.
Ladies and gentlemen (well, just gentlemen probably), I give you… FARM TIME
He did all the artwork, gave it a title and was the story consultant. Seems that the drop targets are now escaped animals on the farm and you are the farmer trying to gather them. Lots of farm sounds when you hit the drops plus a few comments from the farmer on ball launch.
Interesting look into the mind of a kid. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

as i told u already this is a really nice table release. look and plays pretty good.
yesterday i had “retro” day and so i started your table. while playing i´ve noticed bumpers were not working (DOF) and hitting the flipper buttons fires the bumper solenoids. some more small issues.
so i took a look into your script:
the flipper bat call in your scrippt calls two DOF toys (101 and 111 at the same time for example).
the bumpers calls are wrong too and the DOF call of the two upper kickers didn´t work.
i´ve made a fix for me; should i do this for you / send it to you ? i don´t know whats really wrong (DOF config section or some parts of your script).
greedings, Kai and merry christmas to you, your family and all other pinheads around here

Wow, Aces was already one of my EM faves. Can’t wait to try this out tonight. Almost want to build a separate 2-screen cab dedicated to EM’s. I keep finding more and more gems like Scottacus’ 4 Million BC. And Loserman uploads a new one almost every day.
Where’s Farmtime!

Haha. Still working on a backglass for Farm Time. I’ll post it in this thread once we’re done.

@jr no joke! You could justify the separate cab for sure.

I really like Borg’s wedge head design with the BG screen sideways. But if I start a second VP project my GF may have me committed.
I’m 8 months into my first build and I have to say…Bord’s 8Bdlx and Centaur were big motivating factors to keep me going. Two games from my carefree college years. Some day I’m buying everyone here a beer…or three!
