Loony Labyrinth (LittleWing 1994) Media Files & Cabinet Instructions

Welcome back to another edition of
Let's Put Things On Cabinets That Were Never Meant To Be On Cabinets!

Today we have Loony Labyrinth, a pinball game released in 1994 for Windows and Macintosh by Japanese company LittleWing.

This is pretty much a sister project to my cabinet files for Crystal Caliburn, which you can find at this link. The game uses the same engine, so the script was only tweaked a little bit.

As with Crystal Caliburn, I decided to run the game from the playfield and not the backglass, since the writing becomes hard to read at a distance.

The included AutoHotKey script rotates the playfield to portrait mode, lowers the resolution to 600x800, hides the game's Windows menu framework as well as possible, fills the backglass and DMD screens with decorative images and maps the keys to standard cabinet buttons.

I've included

• the AutoHotKey launch script, fully annotated (please go through it and adapt the variables to your system before running it!)
• 4 DMD filler images for in-game purposes - pick your favorite!
• a backglass image (also usable for your frontend of choice), in both 4:3 and 16:9 formats

Also, tons of frontend media:

• 2 flyer images (courtesy of MobyGames)
• 22 instruction cards (taken from the official PDF guide)
• table audio (recorded directly from the game)
• table image (an upscale of the playfield)
• company logo (taken from the official PDF guide)

I haven't included a wheel logo image this time, since the esteemed deadmanworking has already provided one at this link. Go check out his excellent VPX rendition of Loony Labyrinth!

Share and enjoy!

SOME MORE NOTES:

Where to get it:
The company's website at www.littlewingpinball.com is still up, and you can download the demo version of the game there. It needs to be be unlocked to full version with a code you could once buy at the website store, but that store has been "out of service due to a maintenance" since 2013. Never fear though, just browse any Archive that's reasonably well Organized. Here you go! 😉

What not to do:
Loony Labyrinth should run "out of the box" on Windows 10. Please try to resist setting L_LABYRINTH.exe to run in Windows XP compatibility mode, as the script keys won't work anymore, and all kinds of other things in the script will be broken.
