Third Release Version 4.0 Re-Rendered the table from a closer and higher angle. Replaced all wall lights with reel lights. Put new pop bumpers on it, animated flippers and return gate. Added 6 digit scoring. Changed the behavior of the table, due to fresh info from Ldnayman , who owns a real Swinger. Second Release Version 2.1 Well, I fixed the High Score bug. I had two variable mis named! The high score will now save correctly, and will be displayed on the reels when the table is loaded. Thanks to MM for pointing that out! Also add a 3 credit award for beating the high score. Since the display in the game tops out at 99999, the only place you can see the real high score is in the Game info window. Added the Match function that was missing. Added a Clear Bookeeping function (Its listed in the menu.) This will also reset the high score. Adjusted the height above the table of the real pop bumpers(which are hiding behind the reels) to better mask the ball when it is behind a bumper. ***** First Release Version 2.0 I went real crazy, or should I say "REEL" crazy, with this game. Aside from using actual images from the actual reels for this game (in the reels), I also , thanks to very effective backglass animation work by Jay and Duglis on Skyway? wasit? Anyway, it got me thinking, and tinkering, and since I had completly modeled and rendered the table, I could use redered pop bumpers, and animate them in thier different configurations, lites on/off, poppers up/down ect, with a strip of reel images. It works! I also used a reel for the splash screen/menu function, and for the player 1/2 lites on the backglass. I also rendered some 3d buttons and the pop post, and was able to use them on droppable walls. So here it is, Swinger, by Williams. It was also seen as a four player version as Fun Fest. A big thanks goes out to the afore mentioned Jay, Duglis, and also Destruk, Plumb and most of all, GURU for supplying the numerous hi-res photos, from which I re-drew the playfield, and back glass, and for the sounds and gameplay info he sent me. Enjoy Swinger! Kurt Herman scapino@nwlink.com
