I put Grand Tour together last night and tried to cycle the back box mechanisms and they all felt like they had sludge in them so I’ll be pulling and cleaning before I apply power to the table.  I’ll also go over all of the switch stacks to make sure they move well and dont have screws or other bits stuck in them.  Really rather not burn up a…[Read more]

Yeah the artwork is what sold me on the machine.  It was done by Christian Marche but doesn’t have pointy people like his mid 70’s games.  The cab has cool stencil artwork as well.

I found this online as an explanation on Pinside https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/who-should-you-associate-your-brand-michael-gottlieb

Both Gottlieb and Bally have two syllables so I suppose either would work in the song. 

Happy Birthday! 

This is pretty much the only visual pinball site that I use these days and is the only place that I release my tables on.  Thanks for the best site out there for VP!

For hidden tables you have to choose show hidden tables (or something like that) and then edit the table to not be hidden.  At least that is what I’ve done…

Looking forward to giving this a go.  What kind of potato salad, German or French?  Happy belated 4th.

Nice job Teahaus on finding it!

When Bord asked me about doing the table the first thing that I thought of was one of my favorite tracks off of Electric Ladyland album, Cross Town Traffic.  I couldn’t get the tune out of me head so I asked him if I could put it in as an Easter egg.  Did you notice that Jimi pops out of the subway car as well w…[Read more]

Good ears Thalamus!  I thought that I had put bell sounds into the table because the table has two bells, a small bell on the left wall in the cab and a big bell in the left side of the head.

I’ve submitted a new version to Bord that has nice bright sounding bell sounds in it to replace the junky sounding Williams chime sounds.  The Williams u…[Read more]

Interesting video 3rdaxis!

I’m running VP 10.6 Rev3684 32bit and all of the lane scoring works perfectly on my machine with the 1.0 version of Cross Town for both 50/5 for lit and unlit on the top targets as well as 50/10 for the out lanes.  Perhaps it has something to do with the version of VP you are running?

Bord, thanks for letting me work on this one with you, always a pleasure.  This table wouldn’t be as accurate as it is if Bord didn’t fork out the cash to buy me a schematic for the table so that I could figure out all of the “random” outputs from the stepper units.  I really like the 3d ball trough that he put into this table.  I set up some so…[Read more]

Yeah, Gulfstream should only be a replay game while Tropic Fun (which I own) is the Add-A-Ball version.  I’ll fix that when I re-release Gulfstream to use my newer EM system and author Tropic Fun which will probably be later this year.

Oh my, I really like that!  Where on Earth did you find that?

Really nice table that plays as good as it looks!  Your Blender skills are very good, the shadows show a beautiful gradation in darkness that I’ve only seen in Bord’s work.  Keep those great tables coming!

The new 2.0 version of OXO is now out and you can see the many changes and updates in the Change Log section.

One new feature that I am kind of jazzed about is the ability to change the table difficulty settings from the options menu.  I got the idea from a number of tables that let you set the difficulty in the script which then changes post…[Read more]

I was going through scans of old slides and found one of my Uncle’s Boomerang table.  Looks just like I remembered it only my memory has better color…

Welcome to the EM authors club PinPlayer!   I’m looking forward to giving this a go tonight.

Thanks again Drybonz for the redraw, sorry if I forgot to mention you in the credits!

The shadow primitive was made by Bord and is specific for this table.  It sets all of the Blender lighting and shadow effects that make the table look so nice.
