This is "The Web" by the Pro Pinball Team, made originally in 1996 as a computer game - now in VPX.
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.
Two years ago 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 to start 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.
Arngrim added the DOF code and changed the B2S activation to the new controller file, so no more "B2S = True" parameter has to be set.
The table needs Ultrpeepi's DMD module to run. 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 Your "Visual Pinball\Music" folder.
With version 1.2 I added an Up-Post at the top loop during the Ammo Dump Mission. Now this mission is a bit more balanced and worth going for as the ball is feeded towards the bumper on any loop shot. The post can be deactivated in the configuration section at the top of the script.
Thanks again to Adrian Barritt for his permission to proceed.
Have fun and please use the support topic to post any findings and suggestions

Looks great and works well. Nice work.
Thanks for the update Michael 
Thank you Michael for the update. About time I try this game again.
Thanks for the update, Michael! 
Thank you. I played all those computer pinball sims way back when
Sure there is an update? downloaded file says : 13-11-2018 ... strange 
Fantastic! Thanks for the amazing work
In the mid / late 90s I played the shit out of those pro pinball tables. So I`m very grateful for this one. Physics are great, your DMD is done very well. Just hearing the sounds again is working like a time machine. Well done!
Do you have any plans to do the missing one beside timeshock that is available at least on steam.
That would be like a dream come true!
Thank you so much, this is a dream come true for me! I just started to play the original in a 1024x768 DosBox again. Such a good table. Great to finally be able to play it in high resolution!
(Also, the music is great when ripped directly from the original CD )

Wow, nice idea to convert computer pin simulators to VP. Have you thought of making VP versions of Slam Tilt and Balls of Steel tables? Pinball Fantasies? Illusions? Epic Pinball? Psycho Pinball? hehe sorry, I got carried away...
