## Analysis

A livestream reveal and gameplay showcase of Medieval Madness, a newly completed VPX pinball simulation by VPW (Virtual Pinball Wizards). The host plays through the machine while discussing its development history, design details, and the collaborative effort behind the project. The game is officially released and available for download.

Eat that pinball effects. Last time I played this game, well outside of the physical one at Free Gold Watch, um the last time I played and that's the CGC re remake. This is the original Williams. The one we have Free Watch is a CGC remake, which is which plays well except our castle is destroyed. We're still waiting for our castle parts to come in. Um last time I played this like in any way competitively. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Hands hands down period. Yep. I'm out of focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Uh, Flipstream, I think you're just drinking. Stop drink. Stop, bro. Stop drinking. Really, we need an intervention. We need to talk. Last time I played this competitively, I played Isaiah and Andre and I beat both of them. I think I got 40 million and I beat Andre, which meant he was not even he was playing with one hand. And when Marty game club central that jerk. You think so? Oh my god. Oh, I still got Surreal's cam up. Uh, Isaiah Thomas and the Giants. Yeah, Sel, I still got your cam up here. Let's turn your cam up. You know who was supposed to be here? Hi, Lynn. You know who's supposed to be here? Um, Sixto was supposed to be here. What happened to my tilt cam? Uh, I guess my tilt cam died. Oh, and now my screen died. Oh, come on. Give me my screen back. Why now? Thank you. Uh, Sixto was sleepy. Yeah, Six was sleepy. That's okay. Bam. I let Sixto sleep. Sixo was like, "Yo, I want to I want to be there." Pinball machine. Let's zoom this in. Focus and zoom. Not that I'm going to be tilting tonight, you guys. Guarantee. I guarantee I won't be tilting. Um, what's up? So, we got a lot of people who worked on this here. Um, I'm going get to flip it. I'm going to be very critical. I'm going to be extremely critical. But first, I was saying Marty that jerk pin uh Game Club Central. Uh, I remember a while ago we did a dual stream on I think it was the older version of this and he kicked my ass. like he like he doubled my score so good for him. What's up Pin Strats? What's up? Haunt Freaks is here. Hunt Freaks, thank you so much for this. This you guys. You guys here. Let's do this real quick. You guys, let's look at this. This is the most beautiful. I'm going to hit start just because we can light it up. This freaking rocks. This is the most clean freaking back glass um of this game. So, thank you all freaks. Your freaking freaking god. Um finally, finally a good one that doesn't look like garbage. All right, let me read chat. Let's see. Um let's see. They took our pinball machines. Oh, yeah. Did the flipper physics get chained in the new Matrix build? Flipstream. Not here, bro. Not now. Six wanted to be here, but he's like, "Yo, I got to go to sleep." Seriously. Um, another victim of a pinball machine. What's pinch? I'm here to kick ass and eat popcorn, and I'm too old to kick ass. So, where's the [ __ ] popcorn? I got some uh jump space is fun. I blame you. Jump space is fun. I blame you for me getting into the game. Oh, that's from Spudkiller. All right. Can we read a couple of things? Am I blurry again? Do I keep getting blurry? I want to read a couple of things. All right. So, six here. Let me um here. Let me do this. Let me do this. I'm going to relaunch this again.
Please wait.
I am now loading up the game. Have fun.
Have fun.
I want to read this because Sixto asked me to read this. This is the read me that's going to come with the game. Oh, that looks good. This is a read me that's going to come with the game when the game is released, right? Because you guys, this is still a work in progress. And you know, at some point it'll come out, so we'll we'll see. All right, but anyway, thank you guys for letting me reveal it. Um, I'm going to read this and then I have some other information to tell you guys. So, um, people finally stopped begging for an updated MM. Yeah, exactly. Okay. The castle burns. Get the marshmallows. VPW are proud to present Medieval Madness by Williams. This one has been stuck in development hell since 2021. Sounds like Matrix. Sixto picked up the prog the project in 2022 and built a new functioning VPX layout with the new playfield scan supplied by Clark Kent, but it had no graphics and we had a load of other projects on the go. So, it kind of sat there as there was already a nice enough one from Tom Tower and uh Ninuzu uh Nin Nuzu. Ninuzu. I'm going to mess up people's names, but I'm going to keep trying. And yes, that was a good one. That was actually a really good one. In early 202 in early 2024, Tomate built some of the uh 3D side for fun and 6TO worked on the VPX side a bit a bit more before moving on to other projects again. Um, parenthesis that Sixto half jokingly said he put working uh he put working on it back a month every time someone asked for it in another tables on its release day. This is Word Salad, guys. That's fine. Go for it. Uh then in September 2025, Sixto and Tomante picked it up again to finally get it over the finish line with the help of Apalfus and the rest of the gang, aided by Major Drain giving one to one feedback against his real machine. Um I will accept uh I will accept that blame. It is fun. You got it. Uh oh, I got to try space jump. Yeah. Um let's see. Ignoring the begging is part of the fun. What's up, Metatad? What's up, Slappy Guns? Uh, who I miss? What's up, Mecca? Um, have you ever had a dream? Need to GP. Yeah, you. Somebody needs to GP chat GPT this when it's released. Chat GBT the [ __ ] out of this. All right, continuing. Before we get started, it's worth noting that this has been a side this has been side by side tested with two, not just one, not just one, not three, but two separate real machines. We're going to say physical machines. So, it should be pretty faithful to the real thing. With that in mind, I got to read this part. What's up? That superfly Jesus guy. That is a hell of a name. Wait, is that is Was that Was that a bot or someone being a jerk? Flipstream. I'm just going to see real quick. I'm just going to see real quick. I want to see release the Epstein files. Okay. Yeah, let's not. We're not doing that. Okay. Um stuff you'll be annoyed that we replicated that aren't bugs. What's up, Borg? How you doing? You're welcome in. You're just in time for BPW reveal of Medieval Madness that will be out soon. Okay. Merlin's Magic. Merlin's M. You guys know, let's go back to here. Let's go back to here. Merlin's Magic, right? That's the mystery, right? Some shots go through avoiding the saucer. This happens on the real machine. Yes, it does. It's It's heartbreaking when it does, but it does. Um, yeah, not in this stream. I'm here for pinball. Damn it. Okay. Castle side door. Some shots bounce off the edges and don't go through the door. This happens on the real machine. So, we're talking about this guy right here. And, uh, it does it this does more, but this occasionally will do that. Yes. Correct. Um, let's see. It's not an easy machine. The things the slings can be lethal and slow balls off the right orbit are dangerous. Is that a fact? Yeah, I guess so. Sure. And the BPW peasants. Let's give a shout out to the following people. We got our project lead, Sixto. We got Tomate. We got Apous. We got Dard dog, which I think Astro actually mispronounced on the last stream. So bad Astro. We got M. Carter, Clark, Kent, Bor, Kain, Arg, Freezy, Haunt Freaks, Major Drain, Tyson. Yeah, you did. You did, Astro. You did. You said like dart. You said dard rod. Rod dog. Rod. Rod, I'm surprised he's still talking to us. Okay. But I love you anyway, brother. Love you. Wear that tight thing that you said you're going to wear later so when we hang out on Zoom. Um, Nwac. Oh my god. How am I going to pronounce this? He said raw dog. I didn't say you did anything, Astro. I said you you effed up somebody's name. How do you pronounce this? Okay, we're going to go slow. J G Dank Eco 97 G Dank Eco [Music] 9 Everybody. G Dangote 97. Right. I said it. I said it. I said it. That's I said pinsta strats Dan. That's even hard to say. Pinstrats Dan. Pinstrat. Your mouth doesn't want to go. Your mouth doesn't want to go pin and then go strats. Like it's a hard left. Pinstan. It's like why are you doing this? I can hear a definition in a country of origin. Can I hear a definition in a country of origin, please? What's up, Paladin? Oh, man. All right, cool. Love you guys. This is This is awesome. And we got a bunch of testers. Hang on a second. Wait a minute. Wait, is that my phone? Do you guys hear my phone? Yeah, I hear my phone. Just just go along. Let's act like then my phone is ringing. Oh, my phone is ringing. Hang on. Uh, I got to answer this because it's from somebody important from VPW about this work in progress. Um, remember this is a work in progress and it's not ready to be released yet. So, hang on. Hello. Hello. Come on, flip stream the [ __ ] up my butt, [ __ ] Don't actually call me. All right, I'm gonna take two. Hey, flip screen. Don't call me, okay? Because you messed me up. All right. Oh, hi. Yes. Uhhuh. You don't say. You don't say. You don't say. Stop it. Jordan. I'm answering. Hey, Jordan.
Hi.
Hi.
I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing.
Forget it. Forget it. I was gonna do a bit where Listen, look, forget it. We're done. I was going to do a bit where I'm like, "Oh, the VPW people are calling me." It's not a It's not a work in progress. It's a release. Could somebody do the redemption where it's like celebrate? Could somebody do the redemption where it's celebrate and we're celebrating? It's not a work in progress. What? What? It It's Boom. Apous, you can press the button. Okay.
And that's all, folks.
See, that's all I need is people would actually my phone number that's just like totally [ __ ] up my bit. Button pressed. Okay. Apolis. I didn't want to bury the lead for so I want it to be right close to the beginning of the of the stream where I say, "Hey, we're actually releasing this." So, VPW is actually releasing this to you guys. Sweet release. Yes. Actually releasing Sky. This is not a drill. This is This is Becca can't stop bonking. Please send help.
I am the king of pain. My men will destroy. This is not a drill. Now, I'm going to ask while we play some J-pop in the background. I'm going to ask the anyone from VPW, how do you get to There's a there's like a catapult multiball. Somebody here here. Okay, so trivia. What's the catapult multiball called? Because I've never done it in my life. Does anybody know? No, I really can't get any work done. You You guys You guys can all check out. You don't have to watch me anymore. If you want to go and download this and play it now, leave. It's fine with me because this is worth doing that for. Barnyard. Is it Dookie? So, it's called Barnyard. So, here's the thing. Yeah. Is that the one where you launched three cows? Yeah, bro. So, here's the thing. I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to name drop, but I'm friends with Andre Masikov, who's like a top player. Andre was friends with Neil Shatz. Andre was telling us a a story the other day. You need to launch one of each object. That's right. Andre was telling us a story just this weekend that he was playing Medieval Madness with Neil Shatz a long time ago. And Neil loved to just do that mode. And he's Neil Shats, you guys. Neil Shats, he's good enough to just start that mode whenever he wants. Like he can spam that or he could at the time spam that thing and just start Barnyard. And I went, "What is Barnyard?" And he goes, "Yeah, I didn't know what it was either." He's like, "I didn't even know what it was either." So I'm trying to hit that shot. I'm trying to hit. [Applause] Oh, nice. Where is it? Where is it? I'm trying to Where is it? Where is it? All right, we're in. You need to collect one of each object. Yeah, it's it's it's like kind of tricky. Oh, I like that. I like this isn't a guaranteed Okay, safety. I got it.
How's the sound, you guys? Let me know if the sound of the game is good enough. Um, let's see. Need pinstrats. What time is it in Australia? Has Andre played the V a VP? Yeah, Andre's played mine. What's up, Gmy? Andre's played mine a bunch. Andre actually got down on um on Die Hard. Andre was getting down on Die Hard. He was like, "Oh, this is good." Like I was trying to show Andre um some really really like really early Matrix stuff and I made the mistake of showing him die hard. So there you go, Astro. [Music] Yeah, Die Hard's Die Hard's good. That it's it's Andre's kind of game, too, where it's kind of like it's kind of rough. Yeah, I've heard Die Hard is really good. Um, what was I going to say? Okay, another question. Uh, we need safety in this table. We can just load up the pinball effects 3 version if we need safety in this table. Um, I'm uploading the B2s. Haunt Freaks and Apotheus. I'm sorry I had to do that so quickly, but I really wanted people to know that it's out and like not to like do the joke for too long. Sixto asked me to do that. Sixto asked me to to just say it was a work in progress in the beginning and then just release it. Destroy castle gate. Yeah, howie. Damn it, man. Hurry up. All right, here we go. Oh, the castle gate came down. Oh, that's right. Sometimes I Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Did you see that? Watch it go past the Merlin saucer. Right past the Merlin saucer. Whoop.
Right past it. Did you see that?
I can't tell you how heartbreaking it is when it does that. when you need that saucer. Um, oh Jesus. Um, I forgot what I was going to say. It's okay. What's up, Mr. Hard Luck? Mr. Hardlock's here. We can start. Yep. Actually can't happen. Um, god damn it. Now I need to fire up this. We've been Yes, Lynn, do it. Another another piece of trivia for the Medieval Madness development team that is VPW. How many Okay, give me throw a one in chat. If you think the left flipper skill shot is worth is worth it. If you think the left flipper skill shot is worth doing, throw a one in chat. If you don't, throw a zero in chat. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about it. Flipstream says zero. Not worth it. Lynn, not worth it. Ah, it's tricky. Astro is a three. Okay. Dookie says it's worth it. Paladin says no. Pinstratz says it's worth it. Lamb says 69. I tell you this though. I'll tell you this, Lamb says it's not worth it. I'll tell you this though, someone schooled me and told me that if you can do it consistently, it somehow becomes worth it. So the the jury is still out whether it's worth it or not, but the thing is you have to hit the shot. It's not as worth it as say Attack from Mars. Correct. Right. Attack from Mars is almost 100% worth it to every time do a left flipper skill shot, but Medieval Magnus is a little trickier because you got to hit the castle, right? And you could probably I want that catapult slam first, though. You could probably Here we go. I'm just going to take whatever. I'll take the cow first.
I'm not asking you a goddamn thing.
Oh, those slings. Get it away from the slings. Get away from the slings. No. All right. All right, I'm not playing that game anymore. I'm just going to play pick some castles. I was doing pretty good, too. That you did. You You guys see how hard that is to actually do that? Um I played in competition. You have to be on always. Um yeah, to the to do the left flipper skill shot and you need to follow up for the super immediately. So, it's it's it's it's kind of tough. Yeah. Uh, I don't doubt that Eshcher Zmac could do that consistently, but that's not me. Yeah. After 10 hurry-ups, including a successful super skill shot, you can get an extra ball. So, pin pin strats. Exactly. Pinstrats. It's like, is it worth it? Let me Is it worth it? Let me work it. Throw my thing down there. All right. Astro. Um, most of the people that I talk to or tournament players, they're not going to do it, right? I'm going to do it right now. I'll show you guys what we're talking about. Ah, and I and I blew it cuz I didn't hit anything. I didn't hit anything, guys. I didn't hit anything. So, anyway, it's it's it's not a gimme. It's not a gimme. All right, let's kill some more castles if I can. [ __ ] Oh my god, I'm whizzing past that thing. All right, here we go. And castle.
Who the [ __ ] are you?
Oh yeah, I I have the the profanity one. I'm sorry. Um, is it castle? Oh, castle. Here's some interesting um here's some interesting trivia about the the medieval madness. Ah, That was two, right? I think I saw two. [Music]
That was two.
I missed I missed it.
I missed the tilt warnings. But I think that was two. So I'm I'm done. Yeah, that was too dangerous. All right. Um, so the thing is we have a medieval ato watch. Um, and the castle's broken. Now what's funny is you can disable the castle, you can disable the drawbridge, and you can disable the um the gate. So all that happens is it hits an opto and it just and the castle goes the earnings went way down. The earnings went way down and we're like wait a minute it's an easier game if the drawbridge never goes down cuz you get a safe return to a flipper. No one wants to play it though. They all want to see the castle explode. Like it's the most amazing toy in pinball almost. You get a chance from hurry-ups uh too from completing the different tasks. Damsel on the right ramp. Right. It's not easy table to get the wizard mode without extra balls. Yeah. And that hurry up extra balls usually comes at a good time later in the game. Yeah. I don't have the high level of of of stats. [ __ ] I don't have the high level of like stats for this game. Most amazing toy in pinball is on the bond table. Are you talking about the um the dildo? Grammy,
are you talking about the dildo? Cuz I I I I feel a dildo joke coming from Grammy right now. I don't know why. Why didn't you fix it? Homegrown. We're waiting. We're waiting for parts. We're waiting for parts. What's up, homegrown? We're waiting for parts [Music] [Applause] Um, let's see. They should tell man who fix the castle. I I'm I'm not I'm not I'm I'm not the guy. I don't I'm not the owner and I'm tired of that game. I'm kind of tired of the game. I don't want to hear about freaking That's coming back, mad a
Let's see. What's up, homegrown? I said, "Ho, what's up, homegrown?" All my games location are giving me [ __ ] right now. Talk about first training. Yeah. Um, homegrown. Oh, what's up? What's up, Paul? Um, five ramps, during castle, multiball, light, super jackpot. Yeah, I I I was I had like three Do you guys have trouble with sterns? No stern updates. No, not really. We don't have too much trouble with stern. Um, no. No. No. Woo. Close. Stop. Stop.
We don't have trouble with sterns during updates. We have cow. Let's see. cow. We have trouble with um we have trouble with the sterns updating period.
We have trouble with the sterns updating period, bro. We have them on auto update and they kind of just sit there and stare at us. Um, they let people play them during the update. Oh. Oh, they let people play them during the update. Reboot them and then eat their homegrown. I would say turn off auto and just go in and do them yourself.

Extra ball at 10. That's two hits. Yes, I know. We need the Jeff. We need the We don't need the Jeff part. I've been so I've been so far out of the game. This DMD confuses me. Oh, Hawkeyes, thank you for mentioning that. And thank you for the follow. MN Retro Gamer. Thank you. You're a legend. Awesome. Thank you so much. Um,
no. Hawkeyes, thank you for reminding me. This DMD, you guys, is the color DMD. You need to look it up on VPU. And if you understand how to do colors on your DMD, you turn on alt color. But this DMD, I noticed I downloaded it separate. It has nothing to do with VPW. Um, so this is a separate download clearly. Okay. Okay, cool. There also is a pup pack, but the last thing I wanted to do was distract from this game with a pup pack. Yeah, it's a it is it an LCDMD? LCD DMD. My personal VPEN Hawkeyes is a screen. Yes, it's an LCD. Mine is a screen, but this happens to be Freezy's running in like LCD mode. It could be dots, but you know that Hawkeyes, I don't need to tell you that. You know that. Um, it's the serum. Yes. Thank you, Lynn in freaking Denver. What the freaking Lyn? Stop. Stop being so smart, Lynn. You know what, Lynn? Really? What's up, Ferret? Welcome in.

Woo! Trolls are lit. Enable Thunder Flipper. Thunder flippers. no. Seriously, I'm kind of goofing around right now, but later
I'm going to I'm going to try and crank up on this game and and and and put up a 100 100 mil. Um see how far I can get. Um I think there's an Easter egg if you launch three cows. Ooh, there's a goal. I could do that. I could launch. Okay, three cows is not hard, but that drifts away from Oh, man. I'm going to keep trying, you guys. I'll post in the Discord if I ever get to do it. Um, trolls are lit. They started day drinking in control. All right, trolls are lit. Let's see if we can get trolls for George. See if we can get trolls for George. I got
rhythm. Let's see if we can kill kill trolls. Trolls. Trolls. Trolls. Trolls. Trolls. Or damsel. When you whiz past the troll at a million miles an hour.
Any troll bombs? Any troll bombs? None. No troll bombs. No. No. And I got a troll. Boom. Ah. Never shoot the trolls like that. Never shoot the trolls like that. All right. Just for uh video mode will be cows instead of crows. If you do cows and three is that so major drain, you know that. Um so major drain knows that one. There's so much there's more stuff in this game that I haven't actually seen cuz I've just played it to beat somebody and then I never got deep into the to the code. Um, never shoot the right. Yeah. From the right foot. Yeah. Uh, I want to check something real quick. Mhm. Uhhuh. I want to see what that credit dot is. Is it because I have dual leaf switches on my flippers, you guys? Is it because I have dual leaf switches that it's telling me check the upper left and upper right flippers? Where do I see that? How do I get that to come up again? How do I get that to come up? I forget. How do you get the um How do you get those? Is it utilities? No. factory set ID custom message set. How do you get anybody? Any nerds here can tell me? Is this one of those fancy VBW tables? Just look at the code. Just look at the code. This is This is basically my life. Check switch F6. Upper right flipper button. There is no upper right flipper. Check F8. Upper left flipper button. This might be something that the ROM thinks. The ROM doesn't know this game doesn't have upper flippers. And when I hit my dual leaf switches on both sides, it thinks I'm firing upper flippers. It's not getting like an EOS. So, it's doing there might be this this really weird complicated like guys, I wouldn't worry about it. All right. I wouldn't worry about it. It has nothing to do with your game, but I'm just I was just curious. Um I was just curious why I was getting a credit dot all of a sudden. Um nope. No nerds here. Rolls. A stop scaring me. No. self office. The game is fine. It's just I will see a credit dot. I will immediately see that little dot right there, right? Cuz I'm an operator. Cuz I work for Marco. No, I don't work for Marco. But anyway, so that's going to that's going to that I'm going to see it. No one else even notices it. So don't worry about it. Um damn, everyone is here. Everyone is here. Who we going to raid? Who are we going to raid? Once again, make sure you guys go to um make sure you guys go to VPU, get yourself a copy of this great game.
