I'm pleased to share here my very first contribution
This is a MOD (mostly visual/graphic/sound) of the amazing VisualPinball Table Waterworld !!!
 
This table was built for VP9 by mfuegemann and converted to VPX by Goldchicco & 32assassin (with also the help from Arrestis for the playfiled/apron and Arngrim for DOF script)
Thanks to all involved!

For this MOD I just polished it the best I can the flashers, some lights, some plastics, some materials, I did many small changes and fixes on ramps, playfield,... and added the collision sounds.
Unfortunately this table lacks good ressources... but even like that, it's was really enjoyable and now I hope it will even more good!!
 
By the way I have to say that even if I spent a lot of time trying to improve this table, I'm not so happy:
- Most of the changes I did on the arts are nearly invisibles (I think I lost a big amount of time for nearly nothing...)
- The overall improvment of this mod is not as good as expected when started (but it was a very good training ^^ ).
 
Thanks again to Goldchicco who gave me the permission to release and share this mod.

Looks pretty good to me, especially considering the art media i see of it online, much of which is kind of terrible

Thanks for this update! What I would maybe call a hidden gem of a table?

What can you say about Waterworld.. I actually loved the movie when it came out!.. Pretty sure I saw it in theaters multiple times.. Loved the Smokers, Dennis Hopper steals the show with his lines..

If people dont know, Waterworld was one of the biggest flops in movie history..huge budget, huge rollout of memorabilia, even did a Virtualboy game.. and it all kinda just slid out the butts of the people who made them and plopped onto the world with minimal enthusiasm lol

The pinball machine feels like it was going good then they had to quickly wrap it up and get it out either for deadline or just realized the movie might not make as much money as they had hoped so just get the machine out the door..

My favorite weird thing is the funky 'name plates' around.. Instead of making a plastic with cool art on it, they just put "DRY LAND" or "DEEZ" or other such things.

Me when seeing the original table:

 

Anyway the game is fun and the upgrades you did look great.. It DOESN'T look like S%$#
