Hey cyberpez! Love your work and all of your VPX tables, some of my favorites. Especially black hole, haunted house, king Kong and back to the future. So before anything I just want to say thank you so much for providing this amazing free content for myself and others to enjoy! I appreciate everything all of the incredibly talented authors and creators make for this hobby. I've never had as much fun and excitement with a hobby in my life before discovering this whole rabbit hole, besides video games up until about 2015 (really hate the state modern gaming is in these days, slowly becoming only about the money and profits a game will make.. sad). So I got into this hobby and started to build my own vpin cab around the perfect time. Being that for the first time in my life really, since I started playing at least, video games were not as exciting and fun for me anymore. I wasn't really looking to get into another hobby right away, it just happened naturally. Once I saw how long this community has been around and what has been created and routinely updated for over a decade, I was floored. Hundreds of high quality, meticulously detailed, real pinball table recreations and all for the low price of $0.00. Just amazing, the fact that all of you creators these days at the top are creating tables that rival and IMO far surpass actual large, big budget gaming studios who make virtual pinball tables and CHARGE money for them.. is amazing. It just shows how much love and passion for pinball and this hobby there is in this community. They go the extra mile to make the most accurate, authentic table recreation they can. And it's not done for money in the end, or to meet a release date deadline, or please the shareholders etc. That's why the quality of what is produced these days is at such a high level. You guys haven't just raised the bar for Zen studios and other competitors, you blew the bar off the hinges and sent it into outer space!! You all IMO deserve endless praise, appreciation, thanks, and at least a like and comment by anyone who downloads and enjoys a table. It's the least you can do, and many people I think forget sometimes that this is completely community driven. The authors aren't game developers, all have various different skill sets and areas they thrive in. But they can't fix every bug and issue with everyone's individual set up, and frankly they don't have to at all. They don't even need to release any of these tables at the end of the day! They could keep just keep them all private and for themselves and a few others. I'm sure a few older creators who have left or gone silent within the last few years are doing just that, for various reasons.
So with all of the gushing and thanks out of the way 😁😅, I just stumbled upon this thread today and had never seen/heard of this table before.. it looks like you never fully finished it by the posts, and I'm guessing it's dead in the water. But, I still wanted to check it out as I love the show. The table pictures look fun and interesting! However, I tried your last posted Dropbox links and sadly 2 of the 3 are dead. Surprisingly, one was still up. It includes the b2s, music, dof script txt file, and ultraDMD folder. Sadly no VPX table in the folder though, and the VPX table link is deleted.
Idk if you still have this table, or any other reasons preventing you from being able to repost this table. If it's not an issue though, I would greatly appreciate it if you could repost a new Dropbox or mega link with the vpx file! Or if you would rather not post it publicly, could you possibly send me the table privately? I hope you can help me out!
Thanks for everything either way Cyberpez, and for giving me hours and hours of entertainment on my pincab. All the best wishes!
Happy pinballing and happy new year!
