Antonio, something I forgot to ask:

Will it be easy to connect an external LCD monitor?
While the one integrated on the PF is the best thing from a player's perspective, having a larger mirror image TV screen / monitor could be fun during tournaments or festivals - or help attracting people in an arcade... assuming one of Nemo pins would end in public location.

looks fantastic.

Captain Nemo will be at the 2015 Texas Pinball Festival.

So if you want to play it, book your tickets now.

I second that

Antonio should be at home on August 1 with Nemo #001
My birthday present, 4 days in advance.

Tournament the next day, with Captain Nemo for the grand finale... you are welcome !

Will post pictures and videos...

_{Post edited by jlm33: Well, there were some delays...}

go ahead junky !!!

My birthday is in 2 days, who wish to make me a present. *lol*

Oh-My

Every once in awhile I find a thread that just makes me smile. Don't really care if I am on the outside looking in, that is one gorgeous looking game. My hat is off to you for turning your dream into a reality.

P.S. Your wife sounds like a keeper!

sick!

Hrm. I wonder how much an airplane ticket would cost on this short notice.

Looking forward to getting Nemo #014.

Marcus

if they are finished in time i will take mine to a pinball event in France

Bourgogne Game Show in September , so it can be played in Public

While waiting for my Nemo, I was looking around on Ebay for a potential topper. Could not find anything besides overpriced junk, but I found this:

a CD from a Basque group called "Captain Nemo". Of course I could not resist and bought it. Received it today, and put it on my CD player. It's surprisingly good Punk Rock ! The album called "Korrontearen Kontra, Urpekari Bat" is 10 years old.

Not much information on this group. They have a wikipedia page in https://eu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Nemo
(try google to translate it). Album on youtube:

If I find a second one, I will offer it to Antonio!

Back to the Pin. We received this picture from Antonio... isn't it pretty?
I noticed N-E-M-O gives O-M-E-N when read in the other direction. Cool.

Wow that's pretty

But you are making me even more impatient with statements like this !!

This pin looks so fresh and simply gorgious.

So what's the news on this pin? Have any production cabs, been delivered? :/

Amazing looking. Here's hoping you can do the same with the software!

Bump -- any word on production status?

I'd rather get a Captain Neo Pinball.

Captain Nemo encountered a problem with a ball trough. So Antonio is modifying the design to work with Nemo. He is waiting for the corrected ball trough to arrive so that he can begin production.

There are 6 units that will remain in Europe. These will be built first. The remaining 8 will go the US soon after.

Antonio has 1-2 games that are nearly 100% built and those should be finished up by this summer.

Antonio has done an outstanding job of keeping the owners updated. Captain Nemo has been a real labor of love as he and his wife have been the labor that builds the machines.

Personally, I'm eagerly awaiting my game and hope to have it before Labor Day.

Cool, thanks for the update! I'm not in on this but the game looks amazing and I'm looking forward to hearing more once they make their way to the buyers.

This is beautiful! Great work!

Awesome music...nice overall game.

thanks for the video. I think it's clever to work the playfield lcd into the artwork.

This is a completely selfish question, as I'd love to see one in person. When do you think one might be shipped to/built in the US?

Why is this topic dead? I would love to see this Pin. Anyone other than maker, claim to own or seen this project come through?

I think they are shipping soon.

When I inquired a while back about production (5 months ago), Antonio stated was "moving along".
Unfortunate, that this remains a micro production machine, and no additional orders could be received.
Fun game.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Nemo1 and Nemo2 are in the hands of their owners.

The US Nemos are slowly making progress.
The EU Nemos are being hand built by Antonio.

It has been a long wait, but patience is paying off.

Still don't have mine, but I'm hoping 2017 ushers in many more Nemos.

Marcus

Anybody have any pics or videos?

Took me over a year (!) but yes, this thread now appears in the Boutique pinball sub-forum!

I received Nemo about a week ago (#2/30), just under 5 years from the first emails about it in (I think) March 2012, about when a number of the startups got going. I pre-ordered a few machines around this time.

Martin is reviewing my Nemo for Pinball News in 2 weeks time, but I'll post some photos in the interim. A beautifully made and looking machine, and a fantastic job by Antonio and team. I got a gold-plated customized version, which I like because it looks like brass

I love the accent of the Captain e.g. "Immerse the Naut-eeeel-uss". Just how it should be!

With the display in the playfield, I don't miss the backbox display. I'm still at the early stages of playing it, but I'm liking the flow so far.

Awesome, what a beautiful machine! Congratulations!

Here are some quick photos. I'm sure Martin will do this properly later!

I already swapped out the PF glass with some non-glare glass

Super cool!

Damn..truly a beautiful hand made machine. How is the gameplay and code?

Looks awesome! Is it a bit dark, or is it just the pictures? Have you thought about adding a couple of spot lights to brighten the playfield up?

Looks nice. Xerico glad to hear you are still in on this. Maybe I'll actually get to play one!

(What was the last pinball machine without an orbit?)

I took the photos after dark today, only on an iPhone. The PF is a bit dark, but there are plenty of LEDs and in some modes it lights up bright white no problem, so I suspect a code update could fix any darkness issues. Or add a couple of spotlights as you say.

I'm really impressed by what Antonio has achieved. While the dramas were unfolding for the other pinball startups, he just coolly got on with it. And he's done it! Antonio took the time he needed, and that's fine. He provided regular updates, worked within his means in his own home, fixed code and parts issues. And we customers waited, no problem.

IMO this is how boutique pinball is done. Antonio is a modern, modest pinball hero, and I'll always be impressed by what he has achieved, and is yet achieving

Big Guns doesn't have an orbit. I'll think of more.
Hope I get to play this one day.

Antonio is one of the nicest persons I ever met. He is really doing it as a side job so can't put as many hours as he wished.
Yeah, he is late... but he never gave us some lame excuses for delays, never blamed anyone else for delays.

oohlou , You definitely will get to play it once I get it. There will be a huge pinball party for sure when it finally arrives in Texas.

Marcus

Any thoughts on offering these playfields up for sale? United States source of manufacture for the playfields? I bet there are a handful of people like myself that would love to buy a playfield and help support Quetzal Pinball. It's such a beautiful piece of artwork, I'd really like to have one on display in my game room.

I'm right there with you on this one, just great looking game.
