Caltrops
Postby Fussbett on Sat Nov 21, 2009 6:35 am
Long ago I wanted to make a Future Pinball table and because I'm not very bright, I chose to make the table very difficult with lots of features and programming well above my ability! For my very first table! As a result, the table sat on the shelf for a long time until I eventually decided that the final unsolved bug was not a bug at all, but a feature! Thus the table can be released.
CALTROPS

(click for 1600x1200)
Caltrops pinball is a late-80s style table about the website Caltrops.com, which is a low traffic video game forum. Basically the entire table is just in-jokes for the posters there. But, it's also a pretty decent pinball table, so I figured you pinball nuts might enjoy it too. Unfortunately there's some swearing on it, so that might ruin it for some parents...
What is the unresolved bug? Sometimes your high score will be logged several million points higher than your actual score. But instead of thinking it's incorrect, let's look at it like a mini-lottery at the end of the game. Oh, and I also didn't make the backboard scoreboards update. But enough about the bad stuff, what about the features?!
- Variable multiball locking gameplay.
- Lots of loops and ramps to hit.
- BIPOLAR MODE pits you again the old Caltrops.com webmaster during one of his "cycles". Can you hit enough medication while juggling the manic and depressive balls to stop him from deleting the website?
- Original soundtrack! (Don't stop playing until you hear the great little multiball jingle)
I hope you all enjoy my first and likely only Future Pinball table!

Cool table. How do you get the score to work on the backglass?

You did a really good job. I like the table. Funny sounds, nice layout. The cord on the upper targets ist from boys don't cry, right? There's 4 cords on in the intro. maybe you can use one for each target. :)
