RusstyT Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Get ready for some EM magic and step back in time to 1975. VPGL 22-Game 2 ~ Abra Ca Dabra Nominated by VPGL legend Jed Game Closes-Sunday 30th May Abra Ca Dabra is a single player EM game released by Gottleib in November 1975. Enjoy the 3 bar chimes in this wonderful virtual pinball reproduction Design by: Geoff Brenner Art by: George Morrison GamePlay The playfield is simple but challenging. The location of the pop bumpers can be a saver or a curse especially if the ball flies past the flippers at full speed. Playing the game requires patience and strategy. While there are a bunch of targets to hit, the real high scores come from shooting the ball back up the A or D lanes and completing A-B-C-D to make the lit target values really pay. The VPX Game & Backglass can be found here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z9vt-bzEgL3PZTPhO5VLCfPDmjABCzaJ/view?usp=sharing Downloads linked are just suggestions, you can play on any VPX version or the table as long as it is the same rule set (IE Pro, LE etc.). You can let us know what version you are playing and why you play that one in the thread if you like, Score Submissions: Please make a new post for each score you post, with your score as the first line of your post, along with a photo or screen shot showing your score. This game finishes Sunday 30th May 2022, Midnight pm Sydney time. This game is set to 5 ball as default and that is what we'll play for this competition. We are playing regular version- right flipper select. No continues are allowed when submitting a score and must be played from the beginning of the game. Game on... who will persevere and and produce the EM magic in game 2 Edited May 16, 2022 by RusstyT Change to vpgl22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusstyT Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 137530 Great game for target accuracy. The lights on the top plastics are subtle and rather important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally we are chasing some monster score Kane has made. Great game by the way mate.

mozzie1 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Yes on popper I try to use the full dmd as the EM machines don’t use it and I think it looks nice instead of leaving it blank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) 187,640 Almost every ball lost to the left outlane, arrrrgh ! This table is a nudge-fest, just keep it away from those outlanes soon as it gets underside of the bumpers it's nerve wracking A long way from my best on this but will have to do for now was really hoping for 200k at least. Couldn't figure out how to enter initials, flipper to choose, what enters ? Tried most things. Newly installed VP on a different PC, so I'm going from scratch again. Glad people are enjoying it. Such a classic of VP from it's early days in earlier versions of VP where it was also a standout... it's held up all this time Edited May 28, 2022 by Jed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RusstyT Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Abra Ca Dabra is now closed and congratulations go to Jed, taking 1st place in our first EM game in competition 2. This was an exciting competition with vtdmame earning a well deserved 2nd and RusstyT narrowly pipping Crakkers. The energy and enjoyment this game brought is a tribute to the wonderful Visual Pinball production available and the extensive pinball knowledge of our crew who have had the privlage to play them and share their experiences. This was so much fun and dare I say it....Who came out on top in this one between Mr & Mrs Mozz? Super game and thank you to all who participated.
