The Neverending Story Pinball by Marcade MODS
A MOD table of JPSalas Serious Sam 2 (MOD Permission given)
I created this table as a sister table to my Dark Crystal table since both are popular 80's fantasy movies and both are MOD's of JP's Serious Sam tables.
Many thanks JP! Your designs, as always are impeccably constructed.
For this table I was inspired to create a table that looked like it was lit by Blacklight and give all the colors in the design that "alien glow" that is attributed to blacklight.
Some may not care for this approach as it gives the table an overall violet/purple hue, but I have been pretty happy with the final result.
Once again: my tables are all designed with no external Backglass and DMD in mind because my own personal table doesn't have one.
The DMD displays on the table backwall (which is how it was constructed in the original Serious Sam 2 table)
For those that have the knowlege to move the DMD to an external monitor I have included a separate "Backwall" image in the Image Manager (Titled "backwall_noDMD.png")
You can select the Back Wall in VPX and chose the noDMD png file to remove the dark rectangle that helps the DMD display when it is on the back wall.
I have set up the table with a Green glow ball but have included other glow ball options (if green isn't your color). There is also a more traditional metal ball available called "MPBall_2"
if you like. Just select your choice under Options/Ball.
All music has been stripped from this table and replaced with blank audio. You can download the music I set up by downloading the Media Pack and swapping each "mu_" file. The Media Pack includes a PDF with instructions on how to do this.
All art, design and 3D toys were created by me with exception of the Southern Oracle 3D model which was created by "CharmCity3D" at MakerBot Thingiverse and re-edited/fixed slightly by me.
Gameplay rules are the same as Serious Sam 2 just with different names. I tried to make the gameplay slightly more forgiving but it is still challenging.
Someone here I'm sure will make a nice Backglass and Wheel art image for this table so please don't ask me for one. 
N'Joy!
