The Walking Dead Remastered (Stern 2025) PEandS1Ws MOD

The Walking Dead - Remastered (Stern 2025) PEandS1Ws MOD

I was able to play this game at Free Play Florida in November 2025 and again at Pinball at the Beach in February 2026. There was a lot of bad feedback initially when the game was first announced around the art package but as I played it I really liked it. I was not a huge fan of the 2014 version because it was brutally hard in both virtual and real life versions. I took photos of the playfield and backglass and decided to make a directb2s. One thing led to another and I decided to mod the Stern 2014 version to make it look like the new version. Since this is a Spike 3 game there is not a pup pack to go along with it but I did make several Full DMD options including a 2 or 3 screen b2s with a full DMD image. There are some things I left in this version that are not in the 2025 version. This is more of a tribute than a 1 for 1 recreation.

Big thanks to LoadedWeapon for allowing me to use his Cabinet MOD of Hanibal2001 TWD table as a base for my table and for helping me with some lighting effects. You are a big help to our community and are really appreciated!

Thanks to those who helped build the original version.

While the original table has VR Room built in I did not modify any VR elements.

Table uses an Alias twd_160hs,twd_160h since I use this rom for another Walking Dead table in my lineup. If you do not need to use it just modify line 279 in the script back to twd_160h.

It’s been a really fun project bringing the fresh 2025 aesthetic to the classic 2014 gameplay we all know. Thank you again to everyone whose previous work laid the foundation for this release.
