NOTE: This download does not include the song files. You will need to acquire the songs on your own. 

Instructions for Installation:
1. Download the VPX, B2S and Audio Files folder. 
2. Inside the Audio Folder, you will find two folders: "AG" for the songs, and "AGSounds" for the movie sound clips. Place both folders in your Visual Pinball/Music folder. (Do not put them together inside another folder.) This allows audio ducking so the music volume lowers during movie clips.
3. The song list, and the required file names, is below. All songs are on the full soundtrack. (The "Highlights" version of the soundtrack does not have all songs). Place  your MP3 files of songs in "AG" folder. I modified my songs in Audacity to remove all low/high end and added reverb to make them sound like they were coming from a car radio in the distance. If you'd like to know how I did it, message me. (NOTE: The B2S files have a jukebox song selector with lights that correspond to the song list. You may use other songs but the lights won't match on the backglass/third screen. There is also a table option #3 to turn the music Off, see below.

Toppers and wheel logos uploaded to their respective categories on VPU.

Options: (Press and Hold Left Flipper Button in Attract Mode. Left Flipper toggles options, Right Flipper toggles values)
1. 3 or 5 ball games
2. Free Play/Coin Play
3. Music On/Off
4. Music Volume

Other Options in Script:
1. VR Room, line 40
2. Left gate at drag race lane, line 57:   A.) Challenging "0": Allows one ball-save per ball, then closes to allow outlane drain. B.) Easier "1": Stays open except during multiball, then closes until one ball in play.

Game Features:
- A drag race between ball 1 and ball 2 starts multiball. Light the top lanes. Get ball 1 into the left lane. Shoot Ball 2 from plunger lane in race against Ball 1. Watch the light between the flippers. First ball to the top gates wins. 
- Pinball machines in a pinball machine! 
- 3rd Screen B2S jukebox  song list with lights to indicate current song. Right Magnasave changes song.
- Left Magnasave pulls up various hit event counts needed to start Wolfman Jack Challenge
- Progressively darker LUTs with each ball to mimic nightfall (like the events in the movie)
