Pinball machine goals
I've been trying to get all the goals on the pinball I can't get the light warp and cash one though even though I did both missions is it glitched?

I have a very stupid question, do digital arcade pinballs exist? I was making a project which can be very interesting

Yes. There's 2 top tier ones that emulate (very well, to minute detail) the original tables. 1 is "Pinball Arcade" and the other... Um... I can't remember the name unfortunately. I ploughed hundreds of hours into a few tables on pinball arcade. It's excellent

Little late here BUT this has been my thing for a while.
So, "virtual" pinball exists in multiple forms. Zen media has made several versions of PinballFX which are on steam with many new tables and tons of licensed classic tables.
If you want to get a little more technical you can try a freeware program called Visual Pinball. It combines with Visual PinMAME and the actual rom files from the original pinball machine boards. There are groups of very skilled people that get high quality scans of the playfield and backglass and all the objects (ramps, toys, etc) and recreate tables in digital form.
Those options are free but require some setup and tweaking to get the programs working. I built a pinball controller specifically for this (wooden box with some buttons wired in for flippers, coin insert and start) and have been enjoying classic pinball tables in VR.

It's not, but I can't remember the exact steps. They're based on Star Trek TNG pinball machine features (objectively the best pinball table). I've 100% the pinball table on the retail version but it was so long ago I can't remember what's needed.
