If You have a previous version, please replace the folder "The Web.UltraDMD", as quit a lot new animations have been added. The music tracks must be unzipped and copied to Yout "Visual Pinball\Music" folder.

So please install it first and place the folder "The Web.UltraDMD" in the same directory as the table file. The table needs Ultrapeepi's DMD module to run. It was originally released in 1996 for the IBM Personal Computer, then later ported to the Apple Macintosh, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn.

PinballWiz45b did a great job testing the table and pointing out several bugs and issues. The first game in the Pro Pinball series is Pro Pinball: The Web. Zany created the 3D models and textures of the space ships and some playfield details as Flippers, Bumper caps, Flashers. I still have the game CD, so I recorded the table callouts, the main music and used UltraPeepi's UltraDMD for the DMD display and animations. I found a decent playfield image, I started a redraw with and detailed table rules and strategies by Erik Mooney and Jonas Martinsson.
Also published on Mac, this action game is abandonware and is set in a pinball theme. Unfortunately he was not able to contribute any material. In 1995, Empire Interactive Entertainment publishes Pro Pinball: The Web on Windows. Adrian Barrit replied soon and gave me permission to proceed with the VPin version. It got me hooked instantly and I remember placing a paper sheet with the main insert texts in front of my monitor, as the screen resolution did not allow readable insert texts on the playfield.

This PC pinball game was my first real simulation at that time.
This summer I wrote an e-mail to the Pro Pinball team to ask for their opinion about a Visual Pinball remake of that table. This is 'The Web' by the Pro Pinball Team, made originally in 1996 as a computer game - now in VPX. It got me hooked instantly and I remember placing a paper sheet with the main insert texts in front of my monitor, as the screen resolution did not allow readable insert texts on the playfield. This PC pinball game was my first real simulation at that time. On a virtual pinball trip with futuristic flair, you must complete typical pinball objectives such as hitting ramps to warp to different time zones. Even with its shortcomings, pinball fans should give Pro Pinball a try - if for no other reason than video pinball games are few and far between.This is "The Web" by the Pro Pinball Team, made originally in 1996 as a computer game. A single table just doesn't provide enough extended replay value to put it ahead of Hyper 3-D Pinball and other Saturn pinball games. Ultimately, this is a very convincing simulation of pinball, but it falls short when compared to other video pinball games. Without this 2-D view, it's very difficult to judge exactly where to shoot the ball, though with a little practice making the ramps and loops is a breeze. Unfortunately, they all have a similar perspective, and a 2-D, top-down view is conspicuous in its absence. Pro Pinball has one table with six different table views (camera angles). Luckily, the music can be turned down.Īs for gameplay, Pro Pinball requires the players perform several different missions and tasks on The Web, with lots of scoring opportunities along the way. (Perhaps Interplay and Empire Interactive should have dropped the whole console thing and made a real pinball machine.) Unfortunately, the music is repetitive, and it ultimately detracts from the gameplay. The Pro Pinball: The Web game manages to recreate a genuine pinball experience very nicely. The telltale replay "thwack" is even present. Pro Pinball's dot-matrix backglass animations are great, and the game also comes through in the sound department: The flippers, bumpers, and launchers all sound like they're on a real machine. The only missing feature is the feel of the machine in your hands (the nudging controls don't come close to the real thing).
It includes loops, ramp combos, and a ball magnet. The lone table, titled "The Web," has the look and feel of pinball circa 1995. Video pinball should feature at least two things: It should do things that regular pinball can't do and it should include numerous tables in one package to provide replay value. That's all fine and good, but if I wanted to play real pinball, I'd go down to a bowling alley and play a little Black Knight. Pro Pinball is a totally accurate simulation of real pinball.
