    Thanks for the comments! This is a 'worn to the wood' firepower 2 re-theme. The game play is unchanged other than reworking the lower vertical scoring lights into the Kitt voice display. I used mp3 triggers for the sounds, and built the backbox scanner light from scratch using a cheap Chinese controller.

    I decided to use this title because it seems to get no love online, but it is a fun game! Plus it's from 1983, during the shows run, so I worked the williams logos into it so it would feel like it was an actual released game.

    Quoted from Mike_M:

    Awesome! How do the mp3 triggers work?

    The mp3 triggers are fairly simple. You load files on a micro SD card and assign them to each trigger.

    Quoted from docquest:

    Wow that looks and sounds fantastic! Well done!
    What technique did you use to print the playfield art? I'm planning a retheme as well and trying to decide if I want to do the playfield overlay with clear vinyl (would require painting most of playfield white) or white backed vinyl (requires cutting out the insert after printing to let light shine through).

    I used adhesive vinyl laser printer paper, and individually made each decal. PAIN IN THE BUTT! Plus I had issues with them laying down under the clear. If I do another re-theme I will learn how to do a full scan and make one large overlay.

    Quoted from Mike_M:

    So is this just a PinSound board?

    No, go to robertsonics.com
    They are fairly cheap, and easy for someone who is not a computer wiz.
