Batman (Data East 1991) VPW

Have You Ever Danced With the Devil in the Pale Moonlight?

The VPin Workshop members present Batman by Data East! This is actually a really fun table that benefitted from a lot from a proper rebuild from the ground up and conversion to it's correct widebody dimensions, its definitely worth a play even if you didn't enjoy it before 

Includes a built in VR mode and numerous options which you can enable in the script.

•    Main table overhaul: Cyberpez

•    Visuals: Skitso

•    Inserts: iaaki
•    nFozzy physics: fluffhead35
•    Fleep Sounds: baldgeek
•    VR Stuff: Sixtoe
•    Miscellaneous fixes and tweaks: Entire VPW team inc. Sixtoe, iaakki, Skitso, apophis, wylte, fluffhead35, oqqsan

•    Apron Primitive: tomate
•    Testing: Rik, VPW team
 
This release would not have been possible without the legacy of those who came before us including, in this case, Javiers VPX version, some 3D models from Dark and the original playfield by 85vett.

Thank you to Rothbauerw and nFozzy for the physics. Thanks to Fleep for sounds.

We recommend that you run this with the fabulous altsound from iDigStuff, which, like most Data East licensed tables, truly enhances the experience!
