Kickstart your chopper! Who rules the post-apocalyptic wasteland? The Road Kings! Thank you to @sliderpoint for creating this table, with thanks to @arngrim for his contributions to other revisions as well. Released by Williams in 1986, Road Kings is a post-apocalyptic motorcycle-themed pinball machine designed by Mark Ritchie. It features two ramps, two-ball multiball, and a production run of 5,500 machines. Credits for this release: @teisen made extensive visual improvements, including playfield and plastic updates, new inserts and bumper caps, refined lighting and reflections, dynamic shadows, flashers, and adjustments to various table elements and materials. @burger added nFozzy physics, Fleep sounds, VR support with animated backglass, plunger buttons and digits, F12 LUT options, flipper shadows, and layout refinements. Also adjusted switch placement and tuned gameplay to better match the real machine. @hauntfreaks b2s assets used in VR @studly_do_right for help resolving all sorts of issues

You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape the THUNDER! Originally created for VP9 by @mfuegemann, this table was converted to VPX by @Rascal, who also added VR support and made it a hybrid table with automatic mode detection. Additional contributors to previous versions include @Ahr1man, @Rawd, @gigalula, and @tamoore. A big thank you to everyone involved in creating, improving, and sharing this table, and for allowing others to continue building upon your work! New in this version: Added nFozzy physics Added Fleep sound Added a playfield mesh and subway Moved LUT selection to the E12 menu Attempted to enhance the look of a few things

Get ready for some Tag-Team action! A huge thank you to @roccodimarco for creating this table and so kindly making it available for others to modify. And to @bigus1, I’m totally blown away by the work you did to make this table look so stunningly beautiful. Thank you both! Credits for this release: @burger – Added nFozzy physics, Fleep sounds, VR cabinet/room/digits, playfield mesh, and gameplay adjustments to match the new physics. @Nesta78 – Helped streamlined the VR implementation by creating the VPX VR Injector tool that I made good use of! @studly_do_right – Identified and resolved numerous visual and sound issues. @hauntfreaks – Provided the backglass assets used for the VR backglass. Enjoy, and let the main event begin!

Step into the lab and bring the machine to life! Released by Gottlieb in September 1986, Genesis tasks you with collecting four body parts to assemble a robot, then striking the vari-target to power up the Regenerator and witness its awakening. The playfield multiplier can climb as high as 32x during multiball as scoring compounds fast with every shot. This recreation faithfully captures the table's striking color-contrast playfield, 1980s sci-fi flair, and punishing difficulty. Please Note: You will need the latest pre-release of VPinMame (build v3.7.0-237 or later) for this table to run properly.

For Rod "Rawd" Ferguson, a man of many talents, a lover of pinball and golf, and our good friend. Another long standing machine which Six had on his list which has been calling out for a new version for ages, but no decent scanned assets were available. As luck would have it a playfield came up for sale local to iaakki, and we were able to buy and scan it thanks to the donation money generously given by some of you. Embee then touched up the damaged playfield, Sixtoe scratch built the vpx and Tomate did his always fantastic job of modelling the table, with Apophis coming in and fixing the scripting and animations. DaRdog then made a fantastic "mega" VR room, and DGrimmReaper finished off the VR backglass. There has been a longstanding bug in pinmame with the roulette wheel control, this has now been fixed in the latest vpinmame github actions if you are comfortable using those if you want to authentic experience.

"Thou art gazing at the brightest star of all." Star Gazer (Stern 1980) is an addicting game with 3 spinners and concave scoops feeding the flippers. It's fast and lots of points can be achieved with building the values of bonus and spinners. Even though there were only 869 units produced this is very much a "gotta play again" table. One of the "best spinner" games out there. Thanks to apophis for providing a playfield scan to @redbone. And especially thanks to Redbone for prepping and cleaning the playfield as well as other images, plastics, targets, etc. Also thanks to HauntFreaks for providing the VR backglass images (redraws by Felsi). And again thanks to Apophis for guidance on blender to bake the metal walls to be shiny, as well as some performance enhancements. This table was done from scratch placing everything, and implementing the latest VPW (2025) standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. I also baked the GI and interior wood and metal walls. I've once again studied hours of videos to ensure accurate placement, gameplay, bounces, physics, etc. Lots of time was spent on getting the spinners timed correctly, and shots matching video play. I've provided a .nvram file for the ROM menu settings, and I've hard coded the DIP switch settings as usual. This table is loaded with options in the F12. Various balls, ball brightness, flasher options, flippers, screw caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, Dip settings, and plenty of other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting. Please NOTE there are several items to consider on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Stern for 3 balls. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. However... I am not able to hard code the ROM menu options. Typically, there are levels of score achievements that award a free play. The default ROM has that set to off. I've included an nvram file you can use that sets that to match the instruction/score cards and Stern's recommendation (720,000 and 1,440,000). I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself. Thanks again to Redbone, Apophis and Hauntfreaks! Also thanks to everyone else from the VPW team that provided testing and feedback!

Game on with World Challenge Soccer! World Challenge Soccer is a 1994 Gottlieb System 3 pinball machine designed by Jon Norris, featuring three flippers, a soccer-themed playfield, and three-ball multiball. Only 1,470 machines were produced, making it a relatively uncommon Gottlieb title from the DMD era. A very special thanks to @fredobiwan for creating this wonderful table in the first place, and for graciously allowing us to build on his work and share this update. We truly appreciate it! Credits: @teisen extensive visual improvements, including playfield and insert color adjustments, plastics, metalwork and reflections, lighting, shadows, playfield holes, materials, environment, ramps, and the addition of a new backbar. @burger added nFozzy physics and Fleep sound, a playfield mesh, and best effort at matching gameplay to real table. @dacstyle for the beautify hybrid VR cabinet and room! @studly_do_right for testing, identifying and resolving issues @kellyf for testing

Bad Move Human! Centaur (Bally 1981) has quickly become my favorite pinball machine after doing this development. Its fun, challenging, and the multiballs are awesome! Thanks to Bord, @redbone, and Hauntfreaks for graphics assistance. Bord provided a real scanned playfield, and Redbone updated it for scaling, inserts, and other touchups. Redbone also created images for the plastics, apron, bumpers, and targets. The VR backglass images are from Hauntfreaks. Version 2.0 is a complete build from scratch utilizing full VPW standards, physics, baked GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth drop and standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Lot of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. I've implemented a full two trough system in this table to recreate what the actual table has and does for the orbs multiballs. A lot of work and timing went into getting that just right. Many primitives were redone in blender to get as accurate as I could. Some were reused and/or updated from Bord's prior table. And as usual, there are plenty of options in the F12 menu, including ball choices, flipper colors, targets, screw caps, pulsing Queen's Chamber, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit. There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu, including LED undercab lighting, toppers, and more. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). I've also implemented some mods to replicate the recent Haggis Pinball Centaur Orblivion mod/update. Graphics, VR updates, targets, etc. will be automatically updated with the Haggis mod in the F12 menu. You can also get all the mods individually by selecting them one at a time. Please NOTE there are several items to consider on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls and harder play, AND a one free tilt with a warning. If you want to change the ROM settings yourself, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. However... I am not able to hard code the ROM menu options. Typically, there are levels of score achievements that award a free play. The default ROM has that set to off. I've included an nvram file you can use that sets that to match the instruction/score cards and Bally's recommendation (1,200,000 and 2,800,000). Also, there are settings in the menu to set replays, sound, and HSTD. All this has been done for you in the included nvram file. I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself. Thanks again to Redbone for providing all the graphics updates, and to Hauntfreaks for the updated backglass images, and Bord for the playfield!

"You still think you can control the game with brute force?" Everyone loves The Shadow... Sixtoe was approached by Dough Nut and Burger at almost the same time asking about modding his old VR mod of a mod of a mod, with Dough Nut having made a fancy new VR mega room, and Burger doing a great job implementing nfozzy physics and fleep sound code, so we thought "why not merge them and fix a few more things along the way?" and here we are. It wasn't that easy modding a table after spending so long scratch building tables, so a 5 minute project turned into a few months as Sixtoe tinkered away, but we finally got it in good enough shape where we're happy enough to release it, so enjoy! Shadows This table is based on Sixtoes VR mod which was a mod of Skitso's Detail mod by Skitso, Markrock76, and Bord which was a mod of Alessio's original table. Sixtoe - Refactored table, new physical build, flupper flashers, new ramps, completely rebuilt battlefield at least 3 times, loads of other stuff, who knows at this point... Burger - Added nFozzy physics, added Fleep code, optimized ball shadow, removed duplicate subs Dough Nut - Mega VR Room added. tomate - Baked new ON/OFF textures for metal ramps and sidewalks, change GI to 2700k, lowered bloom strength to 0.2 apophis - Fixed script indentations (FML). Removed difficulty option for the battlefield. DGrimmReaper - VR Auto Detect. F12 Options for VR Room, VR Backglass and DT SideRails. Staged Flipper Support. DT Backdrop (HauntFreaks Backglass Assets)

Solar Fire (Williams 1981) is one of several Williams System 7 machines, and one of the most complicated rulesets of the time, but only had 507 units made. It's a fun, fast table and higher scores are very achievable... 1M-2.5M is a good game. The Solar Gun feature is fun to achieve, as a magnet slings a captured ball back and forth while generating points when lit. There is a lot to do on this table with all the targets to hit to enable other functions. You'll find similarities to Black Knight, Grand Lizard, and other tables of that era. This table significantly utilizes magnasaves to keep your ball from going into the outlanes. I made Solar Fire a few years ago but was only an update to another table, and the playfield, graphics, etc were not great, nor accurate. Also, I've learned so much more since then, and physics, graphics and everything is leaps further now, I decided to redo the table from scratch. I found a playfield online that had accurate hole placement, and so @redbone completely upscaled, enhanced, and cleaned up the playfield. This 3.0 version utilizes the latest VPW standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Baked GI, walls, and created a playfield mesh for the saucer physics. Dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table shots and action. Also I loved what Mecha_Enron did in Cosmic Gunfight as far as an interactive tutorial, I decided to learn and implement in this table. To utilize, go into the F12 menu and turn on the tutorial. Also thanks to Primetime5k for implementing staged flippers and testing. As well as to the VPW team for testing. Once again, I've included several options in the F12 menu including various balls, ball brightness, GI brightness, insert brightness, flippers, caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, and other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting... AND the interactive tutorial. For the ROM settings... The baseline comes pretty much correct except for the high score to date is defaulted to something high and the coins are defaulted to one credit is 3 games. I've included a .nvram file that will adjust the coin/credits to 1 coin is 1 credit. Also, I've set the default high score to 100,000.

"It's The Biggest Game In The World!" VPW are proud to present World Cup Soccer '94 from Bally. This one has been kicking around for a good few years, a few people looked into converting Knorrs fantastic version to our latest physics including Sixtoe and RobbykingPin, especially as it didn't work properly in VR as a hybrid version. However due to it being constructed on a different scale none of our normal physics maths worked, so it always sat in the "too difficult" pile to do properly. That is until one day mcarter78 decided to break the seal and rebuild the table from scratch in VPX, roping tomate (our resident football fan) into building it in the blender toolkit where he rescaled the 3D modeling by Knorr and added / updated various bells and whistles, and replaced all the textures, then everyone else piled in and did their thing, with Sixtoe messing with everything and making the table work fully physically (#savetheballs), and DGrimmReaper and DaRdog working on the VR side, and apophis did script things that no-one else understood. Astronasty has access to a real one so we got to side by side test it to get it as close to the real one as possible in VPX. Enjoy! Team VPW mcarter78 - Captain tomate - Striker Sixtoe - Forward apophis - Winger DaRdog - Midfielder DGrimmReaper - Defender RobbyKingPin - Goalkeeper Astronasty - Ball Based on original recreation by Knorr and Clark Kent. Testing - pinstratsdan, bthlonewolf, nestorgian, bountybob, hauntfreaks, chugalaefoo, cl4ve, Studlygoorite, leojreimroc, DaRdog, redbone, hauntfreaks, colvert. Please note: The table has 4x button triggers on the playfield, the ball is *supposed* to be affected by them if it hits them, especially when they're hit slowly, tested side by side with the real machine.

I made the game that I always wanted to play... Prepare yourself for the looming Dark Chaos. You must fly into the maelstrom of oncoming cosmic debris and destroy all you can before it reaches earth. Collect power-ups along the way to help you survive the onslaught of meteor waves. Run training missions to improve your ability to collect power-ups. Make it through the gauntlet to take on the final, monstrous, planet killing asteroid. Our fragile Earth is depending on you. This game blends pinball with classic arcade concepts. I hope you find the gameplay uniquely thrilling. You will be constantly fighting to survive. The game fights back, so keep an eye on your health meter. There are defensive and offensive power-ups, but only a limited time to collect them, so choose wisely. Good luck, Defender. *Please See Setup Notes Below Defenders and Destroyers Apophis: Game design, modeling, light shows, DOF, and coding Unsavory: Music, sound effects, and callouts.

So much technical and artistic talent! I really could not have done this without you guys. The game logic for this table was developed using Flux's VBScript port of Mission Pinball Framework which he calls the VPX Game Logic Framework (GLF). Go check it out at https://mpcarr.github.io/vpx-glf/ Setup Notes (PLEASE READ) Requires the VPX 10.8.0 Final release (64-bit) and the latest FlexDMD. Do not report bugs here if you are using any other version of VPX! If you are playing on a cabinet with DOF, please update your DOF config! Please allow at least 20 seconds for the table to load. This table has a large script, so it takes a little time to initialize. Press F12 in the game to open the Tweak Menu. Rules description and game options are provided. If you want to use the FlexDMD rendered alphanumeric display, enable the "GLF Virtual Segment DMD" option in the Tweak Menu. Press start button to save options. You might need to position the DMD with your mouse the first time you enable it. The position automatically saves. For nice alphanumeric display rendering, add the following text to the bottom of your DmdDevice.ini file: [darkchaos] virtualdmd enabled = false alphanumeric enabled = true Performance Tips. If you are having performance issues, doing one or more of the following might help: In the table's Tweak menu: Disable "Clear Plastic Refractions" in option menu Disable "Playfield Reflections" in option menu Set "Glf Min Lightmap Update Rate" option to your display's update rate In VPX Video/Graphics options: Disable all "Anti-Aliasing" options Try using a different "Synchronization mode" Set "Max Texture Dimensions" to something less than Unlimited. Start with 7168. For those willing to live on the edge, VPX 10.8.1 BGFX provides significant performance improvements. Users say that Dark Chaos plays perfectly smooth on BGFX. You can simply extract the latest build to its own folder and run the exe. But be sure to backup your VPinballX.ini file before trying it. Game Rules Video by Kongedam

Let the Sorcerer work a little magic for you! I've done a few versions of this table in the past, as well as other authors. The past versions I did built on older versions. Apophis reached out to me that the physics weren't quite right on the other tables, as he plays one a lot in the arcade. So, I completely overhauled the table to version 4.0 and essentially started from scratch, reusing only a few primitives. Redbone worked a new playfield, plastics, and other graphics for me. I did a full implementation of current VPW standards, physics, targets, 3D inserts, playfield mesh, VR, hybrid, baked GI lighting, shadows, etc. There's an F12 menu with some options in there. Also thanks also to Primetime5k, who helped me get staged flippers implemented and tested. Note: a new alternate gsound was recently released, however if you choose to use that, the ROM volume option needs to be at 0... which is default. However is you don't use gsound, I recommend turning that ROM volume down to -12 or something... as it can get a bit annoying if too loud. Also, you can turn off the background sound. Instructions for that and others are at the bottom of the script, however, here's the instructions as well: ROM Instructions and example to turn off background sound Start table as usual Press (8) to get into ROM menu Press (7) to start correct advancement Press (8) several times until 04 is shown in the Credit Display. 'Auto-Up / Manual-Down switch is controlled by (7) Press (8) repeatedly until you get to the adjustment number desired. For example, background sound is defaulted to on. It is adjustment number 35. You'll see a 1 in the upper left display. Press (1) to change that value. To turn off sound, set the value to 0. Note: Press (7) to reverse the advancement up or down. (9) will exit/reset Note: Auto-Up / Manual-Down (7) also controls the direction the menus will advance Enjoy, and hopefully you also feel that the physics and table play much harder, and closer to the actual table. Thanks again to Redbone, apophis, and Primetime5k, as well as the VPW team for testing.

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.
