Heavy Metal Meltdown (Bally 1987)

---

Thanks to 32assassin, @Javier15, and Francisco666 for their work on the previous versions that served as the foundation for this update.

 

Heavy Metal Meltdown is a 1987 Bally pinball machine designed by Dan Langlois, with artwork by Tony Ramunni and a production run of just 1,600 machines. Its rock-music theme features a five-ball multiball, a ball-lock ramp, and distinctive stereo-speaker toppers that fit its over-the-top heavy-metal presentation.

 

Credits for this release:

 

@teisen – Made extensive visual improvements throughout the table, including updated artwork, inserts, plastics, ramps, metalwork, lighting, flashers, bumpers, shadows, materials, and numerous playfield details.

@burger – Added nFozzy physics and Fleep sounds, with gameplay tuning to match the real machine. Added bonus lights to the back wall, resolved several layout and gameplay issues, and improved lock-ball tracking and behavior.

@DGrimmReaper – Added the VR cabinet and room, including animated cabinet buttons and VR digits, and converted the table into a full hybrid that automatically supports Desktop, Cabinet, and VR play.

@studly_do_right – Extensive testing and valuable feedback throughout development to help refine gameplay and catch issues.

@hauntfreaks – Provided the B2S assets used to bring the backglass artwork into the VR environment.

@kellyf – Performed extensive testing and provided detailed feedback to help tune the table’s gameplay and behavior as closely as possible to the real machine.

 

Note:

An NVRAM file is included with the download. Using this version from Bally prevents ROM issues, so I suggest placing it in your VPinMAME NVRAM folder.
