This is "The Web" by the Pro Pinball Team, made originally in 1996 as a computer game.
This PC pinball game was my first real simulation at that time. It got me hooked instantly and I remember placing a paper sheet with the main insert texts in front of my monitor, as the screen resolution did not allow readable insert texts on the playfield.
This summer I wrote an e-mail to the Pro Pinball team to ask for their opinion about a Visual Pinball remake of that table. Adrian Barrit replied soon and gave me permission to proceed with the VPin version. Unfortunately he was not able to contribute any material. So I searched the web for "The Web". I found a decent playfield image, I started a redraw with and detailed table rules and strategies by Erik Mooney and Jonas Martinsson.
I still have the game CD, so I recorded the table callouts, the main music and used UltraPeepi's UltraDMD for the DMD display and animations.
Zany created the 3D models and textures of the space ships and some playfield details as Flippers, Bumper caps, Flashers.
PinballWiz45b did a great job testing the table and pointing out several bugs and issues.
The table needs Ultrapeepi's DMD module to run. So please install it first and place the folder "The Web.UltraDMD" in the same directory as the table file.

The music tracks must be unzipped and copied to Yout "Visual Pinball\Music" folder.
If You have a previous version, please replace the folder "The Web.UltraDMD", as quit a lot new animations have been added.
Thanks again to Adrian Barritt for his permission to proceed.
Have fun and please use the support topic to post any findings and suggestions

- Ultra Jackpot error fixed (found by Pinballwiz45b)
- >> Music archive deleted (tracklist added)
Hi Craigd,
the visuals in the desktop version are not much above the initial game release, that is true (although Zany's models stand way out). The main reason for this remake was the FS edition for the cabinets out there (and mine) and to keep the game playable even after Windows7.
In addition it was a lot of fun to code the table logic. Mere visuals come second

thank you! Any chance of recreating the WORMS table? or the balls of steel series or the slam tilt big score games? those would be frickin awesome to remake in VPX i wish i had time to learn this stuff!
How nice to see this table recreated in VP! Allthough not the best of the Pro Pinball series, this one is still alot of fun to play. And the conversion is just superb. The ball flow and physics are very smooth, and very very close to the original.
I enjoy this one alot. Brings also back good memories. Great job !
iv never gotten any pro pinball to work on the pc properly so this is gratefully received as i always wanted to have a look at it 
La table est bien mais pas de musique ! Tant pis.

Got the old Pro-Pinball release of this somewhere.
From the screenshot, you seem to have cleaned up the original graphics quite a bit.
Not a bad thing because although the gameplay on the original was a revolution at the time of it's release,
it wasn't very pretty in my opinion.
As well as having The Web, I also have Big Race USA, Fantastic Journey and Timeshock!
Timeshock! wise I have the original, the Kickstarter Edition and the first release of the new PC Ultra which was funded through Kickstarter.
I'll have to try it out, thanks in advance for your work.
After a little messing about I got it to work.
This messing about was directly connected with UltraDMD installation and setting proper permissions
for it and nothing to do with your table.
Running on Windows 10.
Thanks again.
