via Ausretrogamer (https://ausretrogamer.com/tag/pinball-browser/). Note: since this author does not own a Stern Spike pinball machine as of this writing, I can’t try this out and report on the experience, but it seems from reading up about it on Pinside, that a number of people have used it successfully. DISCLAIMER: Am pretty much certain mods like these void some kind of warranty, so there’s always that to consider when tinkering around with your multi-thousands dollar machine.
@playgamesmore Iron Maden: Legacy of the Beast (virtual pinball) this one looks and plays great in 4K. You can also add additional Iron Maiden songs. I still like the real Stern pinball machine better, but this is still fun to play. A lot if these vpins make me want to play more real pinball. #virtualpinball #ironmaiden #music ♬ original sound – playgamesmore
My interest in this program is for making a mod like I did for the virtual pinball version of Iron Maiden: Legacy of the Beast, including additional songs and custom cover art to the songs that come with the game. If I ever have a real machine, this is one I’d strongly consider adding. For the billions of us on earth that don’t own Iron Maiden Legacy of the Beast, Google is your friend for finding the virtual pinball mod I’m talking about herein.
