To say that I am excited for this game would be a gross understatement. Barnstorm Games have made progress up to the first Alpha build of the game and they have released a short video showing the results thus far.
The Alpha build includes:
- Fully playable 1997 version table rules and physics
- All lights and flashers working apart from the dot matrix and backbox lights lighting the table
- Flippers
- Balls
- Dot matrix display
- Keyboard controls
- Partial glass-off mode (ball position does not match pointer position)
- Control of ambient, GI, and overall playfield light intensity. Only the ambient light level will be controllable in the finished game, the other controls are purely for testing purposes
- Placeholder text-only option screens for logging in and setting the table resolution and scaling option
- Speech and sound effects
- Low quality music (same as Kickstarter 1997 version)

And now … a SPOILER ALERT! YouTube user “Kae De” (nicojull) shows mastery of the 1997 version of the game, by playing through one complete lap of the ruleset.
