Modding games is adding your personality to your own game so why not. Not too expensive either.


I remember people who get Tattoo's and piercings say that too, now every fxxxker has it? so its not that personable or original.
Modding to me is a little less main stream and more exclusive, similar to Swinksy mates models. Know what I mean.
Should really be in the game as far as I am concerned, now if you don't have one there it is a blank void.
very smart decision on Sterns behalf though.
If it isn't broke, it isn't pinball.

Yes modding can be very conservative or u can go all out.
Personally, I like up to 4 or 6 maximum small mods at the absolute outside.
If you go crazy you don't mod the game but end up totally changing the games personality. Like a woman with make up if you know what I mean. There's enhanced and there's over the top.

If it takes more than 30 seconds to talk about the machines mods, u may have done too many. Lol

There is definately money in it.
I am all behind Swinksy doing mods for all the latest pinnys cause I would like to give my $ to a Aussie pinball forum member. That latest tower mod Stern is doing for TWDead looks great. Simple but effective.

2015 will be the year of the mods.

Anyone got a picture of their own TWDead Custom Topper installed on their own machine yet ?

Does your topper have a hitler look alike zombie head in the middle ? !@#

thanks cavey for the support.

- the tower mod looks good but it needs say some block / brick work lines added to it as a slight recess detail and wipe in some darker grey paint in to add some age (given the theme) to it but good on the guys for making and teaming up with Stern.
- my thoughts on mods are they should look like they were factory and not overly done with 10 additional items bolted in as it just starts to look tacky,
- if I had access to every machine new stern brought out I would love to create 1-2 quality mods for them but currently not a option. Like the Wrestle mania as some features look cool but the way they have the opto boards so visible in the centre near the cross thing it is screaming for some boxing ring post look alikes to shroud them but sure the LE will have some feature to cover them ??

Brett the toppers arrive here around the 23rd in AMD's container :) I reckon the middle zombie looks like David Bowie lol

Any TWDead owners got any feedback about their games ?
Loving it ? Not loving it ? The goods the bads n the in between feelings?
Any surprises or plans for mods being commercial ones or your own ?

Anyone got anything ?

I still have the LE in my showroom. I think it is simply a stunning pinball machine. Addictive and fun. Rules need work, but I did manage to score a new multiball that was frenetic = "Bloodbath". i probably need more time to understand the rules - maybe it is a bit deeper than I can see ?

If it was a $7500 machine - I'd own one. It is THAT good. I can't justify the current price.

Mods - No - It is great the way it is.
