OK! Here is the newest version:

I have made a few changes, and hopefully fixed that glitch where the ball would get stuck (happened to me a few times as well.) I fixed the bug where the deadball button would skip over a player, now it goes to the next one as intended. I also made a start on my next game, Head's Up! which is a lawn darts game, similar style to this one but will have more features as I am getting better as a programmer. The third pic is in-game footage, and I've barely made a start on it... should look really good!

Last update for R&R I think. I could keep tweaking it forever but unless there's some bugs or something, I'm going to call it done! Whew! It was a lot of fun working on that, and now I'm 90% done my similar arcade basketball game. After that comes my lawn darts game which is so far the best looking of the bunch. That one shouldn't take me too long. I finally think I have what it takes to complete VOA if anyone remembers that project. And after that I was thinking of making a lightgun game... lots of good and bad ideas for that :P
I'm uploading the newest versions of Ramp and Roll now. Should be ready to download in about an hour. It adds 2 new features:
1) a setup menu that doesn't suck. Changing/comparing sensitivities is much easier now that it includes a slider system.
2) when you are ready to throw the ball, it behaves more like in world class bowling: the ball doesn't keep rolling around after you stop "touching" it.

I know there has not been any posts since April but I just came across this and would like to have it running on my multi-cade but I cannot access the settings (by holding ALT). I can start the game and access the service menu with P but nothing happens when I hold ALT. I am using an X-arcade KB encoder so the trackball is a mouse but nothing happens by default other than the arrow to select the number of players.
I would gladly make a donation if the game was functional since we are big skeeball fans, one of my wife's favorites.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Immediately after double clicking the executable, hold alt before anything loads. That should bring up the menu. I'll download the version that's up and try it out just to make sure. I don't have a mac, but am trying the 32 and 64 bit windows versions since you didn't specify.
Also whoever stickied this, thanks!
*I tried and both of them work just fine. If you can't get it to work, I don't know what to tell you... maybe try using a different keyboard?

Thank you for the quick response.
I was able to access the menu by holding ALT immediately after the .exe double click but my trackball is not recognized for gameplay. :dunno
I can move the arrow for number of players on the main screen but once the game starts nothing happens when I roll the trackball.
It looks great and the audio rocks, just can't play it. :banghead:
Thanks again.
