Matt Hardy's Expedition of Gold Pinball

Wanted to share my newest custom game that I've been working on with Rebecca Hardy for the past 18 months, rethemed from a Stern Mustang. It's called MATT HARDY'S Expedition of Gold. It was created as a surprise gift for her husband WWE Superstar Matt Hardy. She made a cool site including the making of, a mod list, before/after, the reveal video, etc.
See the reveal here:

Please take a few minutes and check out all the details of the game here:

I must admit, this is probably the best retheme I've ever seen, and I'm so glad it was on a Mustang vs. WWE Pro as I love how Mustang shoots and plays.

The amount of things my friends jumped off of emulating the Hardys in high school. Even years later, after my son and I watched all the Hardy Compound videos from TNA, we super popped when they came back to WWE in Orlando at Mania.

In our game room, one wall is the pins, and the other wall is my Wrestlemania memorabilia after going to XIV, XXIX, XXXII, XXXIII, XXXIV, and XXXV, end capped with signed photos from the Hardys and Hogan.

Not going to lie... I really want one of these. It would be the perfect corner piece to link the two walls together.

Wow that is awesome, I would love to own one of those. I love Mustangs layout and rules, but hate the theme. How much are annimations and rules altered?

The animations, modes, messages, callouts, music, and sounds are completely different. Barely anything left from Mustang. Really only the text fonts and match number. Rules pretty much remain, but now you are trying to complete different moves such as suplex, ddt, powerbomb, etc. Modes were changed to 6 titles Matt has won over the years followed by WOKEN and then Wrestlemania to complete the game. When you reach WOKEN mode, the callouts are all from his Woken character and the music is his Deletion Anthem. You really don't want to know how many hours went into this effort.

is it running on P roc or something similar ?

edit my post : so after reading all 3 threads about this game I realize it looks like all of this coding/recoding work was performed with the use of Pinball browser!! so its a SAM system Stern (basically) how cool is that! ... Impressive , most impressive

He's just joking, alluding to some recent controversy with an "H" in the Willy Wonka pinball machine.

Man, send some data over to the This Week In Pinball people about this project because you deserve a TWIPY for this retheme when they review 2019, hands down you deserve one.
