Flash Gordon: The Vectorium Gambit

2. Background & Source Material

• Original Table (1980): Designed by Claude Fernandez, art by Jean-Claude Eyraud (known for Devil’s Dare). Notable for its wide body, three flippers, four pop bumpers, and the iconic spinning “War Rocket” saucer target.
• IP & Theme: Based on the 1930s King Features comic strip (and the cult 1980 Universal film). Audio features Queen’s Flash Gordon theme and synthesized voice calls (“Flash! Ah-ah!”).
• VPX Exclusive Status: Authored by a top-tier community creator (often associated with teams like VPW – Visual Pinball Workshop or an individual like Goldchicco). “Exclusive” means it is distributed as a complete, optimized package, not a bare-bones script.

Step 5: Scripting Rules (VBS)

Modify the table script to add:

' Exclusive Rule: Flash’s Fury (3x combo)
Sub ComboTrigger_Hit()
  If ComboCount >= 3 Then
    PlaySound "flash_fury"
    AddScore 500000
    LightShow "fury_mode"
  End If
End Sub
' Ming’s Mercy: Ball save after outlane drain
Sub Drain_Hit()
If MingMercyActive = True and BallsRemaining = BallsStarted Then
CreateBall "plunger"
MingMercyActive = False
Else
StandardDrain
End If
End Sub
