MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 PINBALL PERIL
(A Visual MOD of JPSalas Polar Explorer)
 
If you have never seen MST3K before you might be missing out on one of the greatest TV shows ever made. Especially if you grew up in a household like mine where the family would put on some bad movie and crack jokes at what we were watching unfold onscreen. This is the basic premise: A Man and his robots forced to watch bad movies in space by some evil scientists. Their only defense: Split second timing and wicked sense of humor.

This table is built upon JP's great Polar Explorer table by Taito. It utilizes the same setup and ROM. I kept the gameplay pretty much the same as in Polar Explorer with some minor adjustments here and there.

The table script looks for 19 audio soundtrack files in the Music folder. You can look to the Media Pack download on how to add the soundtrack files or else use your own music. Just be sure to name your files "MST3K_01.mp3, MST3K_02.mp3, etc." The files should be placed in VP "Music" folder.

I attempted to script off the audio from Polar Explorer. Since scripting isn't my forte - I might not have done this correctly (someone I'm sure can steer me in a new direction if I did this incorrectly) But it works on my setup. This also seems to turn the audio off on Polar Explorer as well. So yeah, as I say: Not sure I did this correctly. If you have Polar Explorer as one of your tables you might have the audio playing on both - which isn't intended. 

Many thanks to JP for all his great contributions to the Pinball community. So nice that he allows me to do these MODs after he put so much work into the originals.

Once Again: As with all my tables - My personal machine is a single screen setup. I build my tables with the score either on the playfield or within the Apron. With MST3K I'm having two versions with DMD on the Apron or with it (awkwardly) placed on the backdrop. Download the version that suits your setup best.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy playing MST3K Pinball Peril!
