  1. SupermanTAS

    This was my favorite release as I worked on BatmanTAS and SupermanTAS at the same time and did a duo drop on the same day. I thought it was a great surprise. I was a big fan of both of these shows when I was younger. I love the color themes on both. This was the first time I decided that I would never make a traditional table again. I loved the idea of having goals, so that you had to explore the entire table. This was the first time we added Orbital Scoreboard to my tables. There was quite a bit back and forth between Rik Laubach, Mike Minnier and myself on this one with Rik ultimately being the king. The ball saves on the outer lanes are the key to this table and have been a staple on my adventure tables (need great reflexes). Batman lit up saves one lane. Robin lit up saves the other. I also did a little voice acting in these. Finishers of all goals treating to a satisfying finish. I have updated the media on these to prevent crashes that was an issue with the original release.

  3. Star-Jet (Bally 1963)

    Star-Jet is the first game with a 3 ball multiball, no surprise coming from designer Ted Zale. It also has some of the most stunning art direction in pinball history. This game, although rare to find in the wild, is great fun (especially with two players) and a great look at Ted Zale's early work.
     
    Art by bord, script and VR by rothbauerw
     
    Right magna save operates the ball lift.

  11. Shovel Knight 4k RusstyTMod1.0

    Fast, Fun & Captivating. The eye popping table graphics, attention to detail with lighting, music and effects will draw you in from the moment you this start this game. This game has 10 modes, 32  sound tracks, changing colour lights and continual backglass game play instructions that guide you through an action packed pinball adventure. The rolling ball sounds on ramps and the table are embellished with fx effects that generate an immersive pinball experience . This table is deserving of a place in anyones cabinet or desktop and the uniqueness of the scripting to backglass makes this table deserving of a place in Virtual Pinball history. Enjoy!
    VP 10.7 is required to play this game. This game is fully scripted and requires no ROM. The game and backglass are included in the download and the EM reels are set to visible for desktop use. A 3 screen backglass by outhere is also available to download. The rules for the modes and bonuses are on the Apron rule Cards. All credit to Wizball for creating a very clever smooth running game game and thanks of course to him for helping me during the mod. This game is fast flowing game so you will have to refer to the apron rules and hints at some time. The full rule set is in Wizballs original post if you would like to see these.
    For desktop players open the game in edit mode and check that the preferences are set for desktop mode. If this is the first time you are using VP7. ie. Video graphics has Cabinet mode deselected and Full Screen mode selected and in the key nudge preference ensure that B2S is deselected. Save and close and reopen.
    If you are still having trouble seeing the score on the playfield then you do the following
    Open the script, Line 11 says:
    Const bAlwaysDisplayScore = False ' Always show the score on the playfield even if there is B2S
    Make it say:
    Const bAlwaysDisplayScore = True ' Always show the score on the playfield even if there is B2S
     
    Mods in this table include;
    New table graphics and plastics.Compiled using graphics from the Yacht Club and light and plastic techniques that I have been experimenting with. 
    New bumper and backdrop graphics
    Character Lighting created to fit the 11 character silhouettes and lighting of the central shovel knight character illuminates the bottom playfield in conjunction with bumper GI.
    Music has been allocated to the Backglass and table sounds added for the wire ramps, targets, kicker in and rolling ball wave files adjusted to -13dB to hear the ball roll.
     
    Thankyou for checking out  Wizball's fantastic game and please leave him a thank you.

  13. Space Gambler (playmatic 1978)

    Space Gambler was probably the first SS game by Playmatic.
    The backglass artwork depicts elements from the Star Wars movies: the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, and TIE fighter spacecraft. Also depicted is a lady with an unusual helmet seen previously on the backglass of Gottlieb's 1976 'Target Alpha'.
    Flippers (2), Pop bumpers (2), Mushroom bumpers (4), Slingshots (2), Drop targets (4), Standup targets (3), Rollover buttons (3), Spinning target (1). 3 or 5 ball play.
     
    thanks to TAB and Destruk for the vp9 version!!!

  14. Seawitch (Stern 1980) [bord]

    Beware the Sorcery of Seawitch!
     
    One of the great classic Sterns, Seawitch is a drop target lovers dream.
     
    This version was built from community-sourced assets in early 2020. I scanned the playfield and plastics. Contributors to the pf scan fund are listed in the table credits. As usual, this has complete nfozzy/roth physics and the fleep sound package.
     
    v. 1.1 has updated physics, updated drop target animations, and a few fixes

    re-up of old vpinball table.
     
    This is a mod, with permission, of LynnInDenver's Solar Ride. Started mainly to fix the playfield to be proper size and position, and did lots of other scripting, graphical and object changes/updates with much help from hauntfreaks and sliderpoint.
     
    There are a few options at the top of the script for turning on ball and flipper shadows and changing flipper rubber color.
     
    zip includes solaride.nv nvram file that sets the replay values to match the score cards. place in vpinmamenvram folder, as usual press F6 to change some of the rom options

  20. Silver Slugger (Gottlieb 1990)

    re-upload from a couple years back.  I think this is the last of my tables except for a few variations (4 player or import/export) of tables I've already uploaded.
     
    Some time back I ran across some decent photos of a stripped/NOS playfield for Silver Slugger, did a quick look around and didn't see a VPX release, so started building it up.  Sometime later while looking for plastics I ran across bodydumps early vpx WIP of Silver Slugger that included redrawn playfield and plastics, and I said "dammit". since I had put a fair amount of work into my build I decided to keep on with it, and eventually got in touch with bodydump who gave me permission to use his resources.  since the playfields were not a direct match I decided to stick with mine instead of moving everything around, but it was fairly easy to move around bodydumps plastics to match my setup.
     
    first a couple thank you's and kudos:
    @bodydump, thanks for letting me use your resources, very much appreciated
    @DCrosby, thanks for the upscale/cleanup of my playfield
    @Schreibi34, thanks for the new kicker primitives
    @bord, thanks for all the blender instruction
     
    So speaking of blender, I'm still learning, and this includes my first try at some reflections on walls.  Not a lot of them, but just the most visible of the shiny metal walls.  Also did another set of GI shadows in blender. I'm sure none of these are as good as others are capable of, but I think they turned out OK, and I'm learning something new (they say that's good for us old people's brains).
     
    Table has a few options near the top of the script for turning flipper and ball shadows on and off and for choosing the apron card colors (stock black on white or inverse white on black).
     
    FS is setup for my cab which has the playfield in windows portrait mode, I'm sure you all can figure it out, or at some point someone will post a wrong landscape pov file.

  22. Star Trek (Gottlieb 1971)

    re-upload of vpinball table, no changes.
     
    This is Gottlieb's 1971 Star Trek.  This is the export (Italy) version of Astro.  This is an add-a-ball game only.  The replay version of this with different artwork is 4 square.
    This update has new logic thanks to allknowing2012/Daryl who found some backglass images on ebay that showed why there is that crazy area in the upper left of the backglass.  It is there for the 10 rollover values, 100,000 to 1,000,000. So I needed to modify the logic and the backglass due to the new info.
    Hold down left flipper key before starting a game for a couple seconds to open the option menu (inspired by loserman76 and gnance) Many thanks to sliderpoint and StevOz for physics and bug testing! Thanks to Plumb on vpf for the Astro playfield scan that started this.
    directb2s included DOF enabled FS settings in the table are for my cab which has the playfield in portrait mode, most of you will need to adjust the Backdrop settings.

  23. Space Walk (Gottlieb 1979)

    Same as version that was on vpinball.com. no need to redownload if you have that one.
     
    Here is an update to my recreation of Gottlieb's 1979 Space Walk.  This was the last em made by Gottlieb, and also has an ss version Count-Down (which is frankly a better game as the drops reset during a ball, once you get all the drops down on this one not much to do). Added scanned images of the plastics off my Count-Down, changed quite a lot of the scripting to newer methods and playfield objects, high score sticky note with initials, added more to the on-screen menu (hold down left flipper after starting table before starting a game to get to options), and other stuff
    Thanks to Drybonz for testing and feedback.

  25. Star Wars (Gottlieb 1978)

    This is my single player wedgehead version of the pretend Gottlieb table from 1978 (yes not really a Gottlieb). I created this to go with my Star Wars themed wedgehead design virtual cabinet.  Much help from hauntfreaks and sliderpoint, and I'm sure others.
     
    Hold down left flipper button while not in a game to bring up the options menu.
     
    NOTE: this was made in 2016 for whatever version of VPX was out at the time, I have NOT gone through and retested everything to see if it still works correctly in 10.6 or 10.7beta.
     
    Description pulled from wayback archive of vpinball:
     
    This is a recreation of Gottlieb's 1978 Star Wars Wedgehead. See below the instructions for the story behind this machine.
    Big thanks to hauntfreaks and sliderpoint for graphics, primitives, testing and gameplay ideas.  Graphics for the table predominately come from the 1977 Marvel comic series rendition of the Star Wars movie.  As usual several options are available through the options menu (hold left flipper before starting game).  A few more options are available in the script near the top.
    directb2s included in download
    FS settings for my cab which has playfield in portrait orientation, you may need to adjust.
    Instructions:
    Complete three missions to activate the tractor beam.
    1. Advance Lukes Jedi training by hitting the labeled targets.
    2. Retrieve the Death Star plans by clearing the top rollovers.
    3. Rescue the princess by blasting down the drop targets.
    Once the tractor beam is active complete a trench run to lock a ball in the Death Star.
    Release the tractor beam by hitting the labeled hole in R2-D2, starting Death Star multi-ball, opening the portal access, and resetting the missions.
    Hit the portal within the multiballs lives to earn extra ball, or the portal closes again.
     
    The Story of Gottlieb's 1978 STAR WARS (fan FICTION)
    What was that?  You haven’t heard of one of Gottlieb’s last wedgehead pinball machines called Star Wars?  Well, not many have.  Let me take you back to a more innocent time and tell you all about it.
    It was the spring of 1977, a teenage DorgBog, mild mannered alter ego to the more famous and notorious BorgDog, had just gotten home from his favorite comic store.  In his hands was Marvel’s newest release ahead of the much anticipated motion picture Star Wars.  This was the first of what was to be a 6 issue comic rendition of the movie.  DorgBog was very enthralled by this comic, and the following month by the epic space fantasy movie of the same name.  Luke, Han, R2-D2 and the rest occupied every waking moment of the young man’s mind.   This was of course before he discovered girls were more than annoyances, but I digress.
    DorgBog, unknown to all but his closest confidants, was also a pinball junkie.  His meager allowance and pay from his paper route invariably wound up feeding the silver balled gods and goddesses of his favorite Gottliebs. And in young DorgBog’s mind was churning the maelstrom of a the most awesome collaboration of epic forces to ever grace the pinball world!  DorgBog was on a mission to combine the might of Marvel’s comics, Gottlieb’s pinball prowess, and Lucas’ Star Wars empire (pun intended into the greatest wedgehead known to man!
    DorgBog was consumed by this idea.  Spending countless hours writing letters, on paper no less this was after all before the age of the internet and email, and begging stamps from his parents, entreating the 3 parties to consider his idea.  Young DorgBog began including sketches of his ideas for the machine including things such as a giant Death Star complete with trench run, and multiple balls in play at the same time; unheard of in Gottlieb’s vast arsenal of pinball wizardry!
    Finally when DorgBog had almost given up hope after weeks and weeks of writing (that’s a long time in a young boys life). DorgBog received an envelope marked with a return address of the D. Gottlieb & Company in Northlake, Illinois.  DorgBog raced with his treasure to his tiny closet of a room, and into the closest of the tiny closet of a room, this was after all top-secret type stuff.  Upon opening the envelope young DorgBog’s heart fell, his dreams crushed with a cease and desist letter telling him to stop harassing the company, that there was no way a license deal could be arranged, and no way the pinball machine would be built.  Multiball?! Scandalous!
    A few weeks later, when DorgBog was finally coming to grips with his lost dream, another letter arrived in the mail.  This one in a plain envelope and with no return address.  What he found inside rekindled his faith in humanity and restored joy to the young man.  An engineer at Gottlieb had found the discards of Dorgbog’s plans and thought them a grand idea.  So without knowledge of his supervisors this young, and also Star Wars crazed engineer, begin building a prototype table to present to his bosses and convince them it was the best idea ever!  Buying numerous copies of the comics and cutting out panels to adorn his secret project, the Star Wars wedgehead was born!
    Well one was birthed, a prototype, that never did see production as Gottlieb had changed directions and was on its way to the future with computer chips and processing units, and all those other fancy terms and the single player wedgehead was to be no more.  Eventually when the young disgruntled engineer abandoned Gottlieb, he took his prototype with him, smuggled out piece by piece as there were trademark and copy write issues you know.  Feeling bad for having raised the hopes of a young pinhead, he drove through the dark and gloomy night to the home of young DorgBog and bestowed upon him the gift of the Star Wars wedgehead prototype, with the strict admonishment that it never, EVER, be seen by the general public.
    DorgBog kept his promise to that engineer and kept Star Wars carefully hidden from all eyes.  Unfortunately for the mild mannered DorgBog, he was taken over by the nefarious BorgDog alter ego, who subsequently proceeded to rampage the countryside, oh and turned to the dark side of video games because by then, Asteroids, Defender, Pac Man and too many glorious glowing gems of greatness had burst upon the scene and pinball began a long decline.  DorgBog’s beloved Star Wars was lost to the annals of time, until recently when a fine aged BorgDog finally discovered the silver balled gods for himself and recalled that now decrepit machine languishing in storage.
    So here, finally, after many long lost years is the long lost prototype edition of Gottlieb’s 1978 Star Wars wedgehead.  Just don’t tell Marvel or Lucas (Disney, whatever) as I’m sure they’d want in on the action.
