About Criterium 77 (Taito do Brasil 1977)
Criterium 77 was built by Taito do Brasil in the transition years between electromechanical and solid-state pinball: an EM table with digital score displays. It copied Recel's Criterium 75 but with its own rules, different again from Recel's later Criterium 80 and 2000. Playfield, plastics and backglass by Halen, apron rules by Carlos Guizzo; the rules are in the table's info screen.
This is an electromechanical table: the original machine had no computer, so JP scripted its rules himself and it needs no ROM. It plays as soon as it is installed.
The table downloads from JP's own page on VPForums, as he asked, so you always get his latest version, and that is where to report bugs or ask questions. The first time you install a table, PlayBound asks you to sign in to VPForums with a free account; after that, every table is one click.
Compatibility: Visual Pinball X 10.8 (installed by PlayBound). No ROM required.
Install with the PlayBound Launcher
The launcher installs this into tables/jp-criterium-77-taito-do-brasil-1977/ for Visual Pinball X. If the base game is missing, it will install that first.
