File Name: Shark (Hankin, 1980) (Neon Edition)

File Submitter: anthias

File Submitted: 21 Sep 2026

File Category: VPX/VPinMAME Recreations

Author(s): Anthias
Manufacturer: Alvin G
Year: 1980
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval


After I made the VPX version of this table purely so I could mod it to become LH8 - Frozen North, I then released it as a whitewood since no decent art was around at the time. Now it has been a while and nobody has chosen to take on the redraw, but since I'm a bit of a rebel I decided to do it myself with a twist. I went for an 80's neon aesthetic but the art is still Shark.
 
Free to mod. Thnk you can improve it? Please do. Want better physics? Please add them. This is totally open slather.
 
This build was always out of my wheel house, but I still like it. Shark was always a special table to me. And yes, the slingshots are not extra strong, as on the real one.

Hi, I mistakenly reported the file as broken. When I tried using a different version of the emulator, it showed a virus (false positive) and after checking and advice from other members, I am pleased to advise that the Table isn't Broken at all :)

 

I apologise without reserve to the creator of this table, anthias, and would highly recommend downloading the table to everyone. :)

 

Sorry anthias and in future, I will try and ensure that any updates to the software a resolved prior to me reporting any table as broken. (If we ever meet, I'll buy you a drink!)
